Everything in the property was clean and organized. The hostess were extremely helpful and accommodating. They also have activities to socialize with other people that are staying in the Loft. The hostess June took time to help my friend find transportation to the place you needed to go. Very kind of him. They hold my luggage a little after my check out. The price range was great.

Very attentive, although there are no elevators in the building they immediately came out to help me with my bag(and the climb is worth it!). The room was SO nicely decorated, with high windows and curtains. There was also a fridge.

Loved the property, super clean. The stuff is really helpful and nice. The breakfast was great, at the roof top with an amazing atmosphere. The location is just wonderful, it's right in the center. The property has a really nice common area, where I enjoyed working in. The staff also really helped me with the luggage storage.

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!

    Great location situated right next to the train station, very helpful staff, and quite a clean hostel. They have an option for female-only dorms which are on another level from the shared ones which felt safer to be in.

    Best hostel in Madrid, great people, great location, super clean! They don’t have bunk beds, only individual beds which is the best. Every day they organise fun activities and there was even free dinner when I was there, tortilla/bravas/pinxtos, delicious! The staff members are super friendly and helpfull, even manage to remember your name! Would absolutely recommend this place :)
