The rooftop bar was awesome! Everything was clean and comfortable. There was laundry available though it was a little pricey. The location was perfect, right next to Plaza Mayor! I loved the organized bar hop too! Would totally stay here again.

Gabi United States of America

I loved this hostel! It’s perfectly located in a very lively area (so beware of noise at night if you leave your window open. I personally love hearing city noises at night, so not an issue at all). The rooftop bar had really lovely views and atmosphere. I had two very good drinks up there and a good buffet style breakfast. My room was giant and cleaned daily. I liked that the sink was outside the bathroom so me and my six roommates could share better. I never thought I would care about this, but I loved having two large pillows! I appreciated that the water was super cold in the Madrid heat. We only got a sheet for sleeping, but that’s totally fine given it’s May in Madrid. The AC in the room worked well when we had it on. I looooved the balcony and the view.

The staff was really nice and helpful. They always were ready to help. They really care about guests. They even gave me advices what is worthy see in Madrid. The room and bathroom were super clean. Breakfasts were delicious. I really like this place. I spend there 5 days and I'm pretty sure next time when I visit Madrid I will be a guest of this hostel again.
