Great clean room centrally located
Penthouse room was great for a group of friends. Only one bathroom, though, and no door on the shower. Get to the breakfast at the hostel if you can - it was excellent. Centrally located. Can walk to major sites. Subway stop about 2-3 blocks away.

Wonderful stay! Near everything in city center.
Very clean and comfortable. Each of my family members were able to get their own bunkbed which we all loved a lot. Great location, accessible to everything the city has to offer: food, attractions, travel, tourist sites. Would definitely come here again.

Gem Of A Hostel
Ideal location for our Metallica weekend. Great welcome with complimentary drinks. Twin room with balcony was of a high standard. All public areas were of a high standard as was the food in the restaurant. Lots on offer and we joined the free historical walking tour which was very informative. There was a friendly vibe around the place with facilities for all guests.

I like the location of this place that it is close to most attractions in Madrid including the Royal Palace and Plaza Mayor, but the Room space is very tiny, I don’t like bunk beds Bec can’t sleep with my husband, very noisy at night bec of the bars across the street.

Fantastic hostel stay
Excellent stay at this centrally located hostel. The shared room was spacious and very clean with 2 lockers for clothes and bags (you have to bring your own padlock). The lounge offered different spaces for single individuals and groups which made it easy to chill out. The breakfast buffet included cereals, scrambled eggs, mushrooms, tortillas, breads, fruits, juices, cheeses, churros and hot drinks to satisfy most if not all tastes. I would thoroughly recommend this accommodation for an enjoyable visit to this lively city.

Es moderno y bonito. Las camas cómodas y limpias. Fui en familia y tuve una habitación privada. Tuvimos la mala suerte que siendo primavera hacía calor y no apagamos el aire, así que no entendíamos porque hacía tanto calor en la noche. Finalmente lo apagamos y pudimos dormir. es en un barrio cerca a todo aunque no es el barrio más bonito. Pero si lo volvería a usar el hostel, las personas son súper amables y es muy moderno todo!

This was a great location and facility. The staff was wonferful. The rooms had everything you needed. My only suggestion is to have a blow dryer in the room. It was a great place. We will definitely stay again.
