Everything was great, awesome vibes! First time in a hostel, if this is the experience all the time I'd do it again

The hat Madrid is truly in the center of the city! everything was in walking distance, and for the value they offered a lot from walking tours to pub crawls. Would definitely stay again and again.

Staff were so friendly. Room was a good size and each bed has a private light so you don’t have to turn the light on for the entire room

Kate

We LOVED everything about our experience at The Hat. So much so that we decided to forego our Airbnb in the next city we visited in favor of another hostel.

Tim

Beds very clean, nice room. Met cool people at the social events hostel provided. Would definitely stay there again.

Michael

Amazing location, very friendly people and the service was beyond excellent. We were two girls traveling from the US/India but we didn’t have any problem with safety or locating the place. Highly recommend!

I kind of chose this place at random as a place to crash for a night in Madrid, but the vibe has me wanting to go back. The location was awesome, the staff super cool, and the breakfast lovely. A great find! Another note; I’m 31 and normally stay in individual rooms for the privacy, but this time, I stayed in a female dorm with 4 beds. It was honestly lovely; I didn’t feel a lack of privacy, and the room was really nice. Plus the energy of the place was fun, and I liked the people whom I met. I will 100% stay again, next time for longer. :)

“Highly recommended. Location, decor, rooftop terrace, cleanliness, breakfast, staff. Checkout 10am??”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 2 nights
The EARLY CHECK-OUT UNTIL 10 am was very surprising and inconvenient (- ESPECIALLY that there is info on the website and the card that it can be done until 12 am). It was my first solo travel and sleeping in dormitory rooms. I was definitely focused on sightseeing and had mixed feelings regarding renting the bed in the shared rooms, expecting a lot of noise and talking. I decided to choose rooms for women only - to feel more comfortable. However, during 9 nights in Spain (in 4 hostels/ 4 cities), the scenario was the same: nobody talked with each other nor even say 'hi'/ 'how are you?'. The fact is that there was always somebody sleeping, so it's good that people respect each other right to rest, but it even happened that some Spanish girl was veeery annoyed by the fact that I had my own light on. It has nothing to do with this specific hostel :D, I'm just wondering if it's always like that..? This is VERY WEIRD, but I cannot find any more minuses in this hostel right now. Ok, I know: it is noisy in the room if the window is open during the night. A kettle in the room, a hanger for a towel, free towel and padlock would be appreciated!! :)
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Very good LOCALIZATION: 2 minutes from Plaza Mayor. Very nice decor: bar= the common area/ bedroom/ bathroom/ cool rooftop TERRACE with some view on the roofs. Nice, helpful STAFF. Good BREAKFAST, worth paying extra 4 euro, however the price: 3 euro would be appreciated.:D FREE TAPAS/ DRINK at 9:30 pm sounds great as it is for free:D and gives a possibility to meet new people (- however I was not able to get there on time, because of being busy with sightseeing:(). The starting point for Free Walking Tours at 11 am which is a great initiative in general (- however I took part in FWT started earlier in Plaza Mayor - 3 minutes walk away). The MAP with touristic information very useful.

The Hat is the best value for money hostel. Staff is super friendly and helpful, the vibe in the hostel is great. They organise social events in the evening (Sangria workshop :)), which makes it easy to meet people and socialise if you are travelling solo. I would highly recommend it! I did not try the breakfast but it looked good (for 4€). With only a couple of minutes to reach Plaza Mayor and Sol, the hostel is located very centrally.

The only thing that bothered me was that the sink is installed in the bedroom. So when you come back in the evening and some people are already sleeping, you can't use the sink if you don't put the lights on for everyone in the room.
The staff were super friendly and the rooftop is so beautiful.

It would be great if the bathrooms could be a little closer to the bedrooms. The showers in the women's bathrooms were also prone to shutting off during showering and it took a while to heat up the water.
The hostel's location was excellent, and was within walking distance of many major landmarks. The rooms were very clean and the beds were quite comfy. The hostel itself had beautiful decor as well.

Well it didnt bother me specially, but somedays the noise from the street could be really loud at 4/5 in the morning. I managed but maybe this could be something that sensitive noise people might bother.
Location is amazing and the staff is super kind and helpful. I've stayed in a shared room with private bathroom, the size was okay, is not a huge space but works okay. The room was super clean, as well as the room itself.
