11/10 experience! Very clean and well maintained hostel, toilets always had availability and were very clean and new. Beds were very comfortable, thick curtains helped to block out light and noise. Staff member on the afternoon/evening shift was extremely helpful and friendly in assisting us.

From location to accommodations and staff. It surpassed my expectations (for what it cost me, $34/night, remember prices fluctuate ). I was staying there the day of the blackout in Spain. They were the GOATS in the area. They had generators and even wifi. Extra points for the staff. They're the best.

Great hostel. The location is central and everything is walking distance. The activities are great. The free dinners are pretty good. Staff are very helpful. One small nuisance is only accepting cash, but they were nice enough that will give you what you want in advance and can pay later once you got cash.

The owner and staffs are so accommodating and nice. They made sure you’re stay is comfortable and that you sleep well at night. The facilities are clean. They really go above and beyond in helping their customers. Everyone of them is just super kind and hospitable. From our late night check-in until requesting to keep our luggage while we wait for our flight, the staff helped us in all our concerns.

I had a 10-hour layover in Madrid's airport, so this was a great option to wait. Loved the rooms, great AC, they have a great-size locker assigned for each bed (you can perfectly fit a carry on plus a back pack). It has a nice lounge area, a small pool with a sunbathing spot. It's all very clean.

All hostels in Madrid

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    The location is very central, the hostel seems very secure, very quiet and I felt very safe. It was clean, much nicer than I expected, the entrance hallway when you walk into the main hostel area is a treat. This was my first time staying in a hostel with other people and bunk beds in 20 odd years, and it was great to meet and speak to other people.

    Really lovely and friendly place to stay! The staff were accommodating from the outset and make lots of recommendations on the best places to sight see. The rooms were spacious and clean and the beds were comfy, all facilities working perfectly. The hostel is in a great location all round and there’s a really welcoming atmosphere as they arrange lots of group activities and dinners so you feel settled in straight away. Would recommend to anyone, especially if you’re a female solo traveller as it feels very safe!
