Nice location, not too far from the station. Hostel itself is clean, nice rooms as well. Only negative is the fact I was on the ground floor right next to the seating area so you could hear everyone and itā€™s not pleasant at 1am when thereā€™s a big group just laughing away non stop. You can also hear everyone getting ready for breakfast and just chatting away as which is frustrating and breaks your sleep.

Great for the price. Location is perfect

For the price it was great. The only draw back is that the bedrooms did not have windows so waking up naturally was not easy. The location was amazing.

Deron

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
This is property is ok . Just not my style . The place is extremely small and claustrophobic. The beds are so close together that it's overwhelming for me. I also did not like the way the lockers are set up on the floor under the bed. I hated having to get down on my knees to get into the locker . The shower and bathroom was an extreme no no for me. I ended up going to another hostel that had a real bathroom . The most annoying thing was the window directly on my bed and while I was sleeping the housekeeper just opens it and freezing cold air comes in. This was very bizarre to me. Ohh and something to note is that the water doesn't have a hot of cold valve. So if you want to wake up and wash your face it will be with freezing cold water . I would not recommend this place at all.

Nice stay in Madrid

It was a nice hostel but way too overpriced. I never paid so much in my life for a bed in a hostel (around 67 euros). Not sure if itā€™s because there is an event in the city or anything else. However, it the price would be a bit lower, Iā€™d say it was a near perfect stay. Itā€™s a good location, clean, I like the cubicles with the curtains and the lockers.

Not bad for a hostel

Not bad, would consider booking again. I liked the location and the fact that there was a curtain for privacy, also there was a small shelf and a power outlet. The bed was comfortable. There wasn't too much air in the room and the air condition did not seem to be working that well. It was hot and humid even in winter with 12 people sleeping there. Also, there was a window from my bed to a patio with no covers that opened automatically during the siesta, letting in 4 degree air from the outside.
