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.

Good for the price!

Good location and good all round hostel. The pods were a good size with good curtains. Only down side was the rooms are quite hot when the curtains are closed. There is a toilet and shower in the room so you don’t need to keep using the communal ones. The location is great, close to Gran Via and a nice strole to El Retiro.

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 it’s because there is an event in the city or anything else. However, it the price would be a bit lower, I’d say it was a near perfect stay. It’s a good location, clean, I like the cubicles with the curtains and the lockers.

Nice hostel but my room stayed close to common area and I could hear people talking 2am. Bathroom Door squeaking loud, so I couldn’t sleep very well. But the hostel has a nice looking and the location is perfect! Just one block From the subway.

It's a good small/quiet and convenient hostel. Location is really good, metro/train station is just literally out side the hostel. From the station, easy conection to airport. Super store and shops are just around the corner. Royal Palace/gardens are just 10 minutes. Gran via is 15 and temple of debod & plaza de espana is also 10/15 minutes walk. Rooms and Wash rooms were clean. Staff was very helpful. Overall, good hostel with good location.
