Good hostel

Very centrally located which made exploring Madrid very easy, the staff were lovely and really helpful, the bed was very comfortable and the bathroom facilities were good. Always very clean as well. Only issue was that it wasn't as social as it was made oit to be, but this wasn't helped by the poor weather meaning the rooftop was essentially out of action. The mixed shared dorm being on the street rather than in the building meant that we had some disturbances from passers by making noise late at night, but that was only brief.

First hostel experience

This was my first Hostel experience at the ripe age of 39! All I can say it was perfect, so clean, so comfortable, everyone staying were amazing and made memories with so many people. The staff were incredible and more than helpful! I can also recommend the sangria making workshop that is free of charge, it was a great opportunity to meet other guests and very lighthearted

The location of this hostel is great, really central and you can walk everywhere. I did not take part of any activities but they habe organized pub crawl, sangria workshop and more. They have a nice rooftop patio and has happy hours starting at 5pm. I was staying in a 4 bed room w private bathroom, which was all i expected from a hostel. It was clean. The only issue i had was the sound from the street. If i had to stay there again, I'd not stay on the street side (ask for a courtyard room).

Literally steps from Plaza Mayor. The staff always ask if they can help or how you’re doing. I’ve stayed here once prior and came back because it’s perfectly located, the staff is friendly, roof top bar

The staff was just amazing. So helpful and available 24/7. The location is great - so close to Mayor Real. The site is clean and safe and I met nearly everyone staying there. I'm 58 yrs old and have never felt younger or hipper than I did staying here. Every night is free Sangria - and a chance to meet fellow travelers - and the roof bar is so cool! Great value breakfast, too! Couldn't be happier that I stayed here.

Hostel with a great atmosphere & friendly staff. Great location, 5 minutes by feet from the Sol metro station and right next to a chill out area in the city center. Really nice breakfast on the rooftop ! Pretty quiet and chill out place, but if you want to go out and socialize, they also offer some plans for group activities as well. I would just say that there's room for improvement around the shared bathrooms : they are pretty small, not that convenient and suffering from a lack of privacy ^^ But overall, the place is still highly recommended ! ;-)

The area was great. You can see all the sites in 30 minutes walking . The Hat staff was fantastic. My only complaint was how loud it was everywhere in the building , but i guess that’s to be expected in a hostel . I would recommend curtains on the beds
