I have to recommend this hostel, I was very satisfied with everything they offered. Breakfasts were great, I was glad for a lounge place downstairs.... very cosy. Staff was always helpful, my roommates very nice and overall this was a great experience. Everything was clean and I had everything I needed.

The best part is that you can take a bus from Madrid airport (bus number 101) until the stop Barajas and it's right there! I love the quiet room, the personal, and the cleanness of the room. I will add it to my list of the best Hostels to stay.

Loved the facilities, they were very clean, and had lots of different uses -- some for conversation, some for study/work, etc. etc. Staff were great, they hosted a lot of events in order to get people to get to know each other (pub crawl, sangria night, meet & greet), and it was a great way for myself as a solo traveler to make new friends!
