Good option for a short stay
The location is great—super close to Plaza Mayor and well-connected for getting to other interesting spots in Madrid. The rooms are a bit small, but they were clean and perfectly fine for a short stay. The hostel has a nice rooftop, though it closes early. Overall, it’s a good option in Madrid, but it didn’t quite have that classic hostel vibe that makes it easy to meet new people.

Literally steps from Plaza Mayor. The staff always ask if they can help or how you’re doing. I’ve stayed here once prior and came back because it’s perfectly located, the staff is friendly, roof top bar

First hostel experience
This was my first Hostel experience at the ripe age of 39!
All I can say it was perfect, so clean, so comfortable, everyone staying were amazing and made memories with so many people.
The staff were incredible and more than helpful!
I can also recommend the sangria making workshop that is free of charge, it was a great opportunity to meet other guests and very lighthearted

Good hostel
Very centrally located which made exploring Madrid very easy, the staff were lovely and really helpful, the bed was very comfortable and the bathroom facilities were good. Always very clean as well. Only issue was that it wasn't as social as it was made oit to be, but this wasn't helped by the poor weather meaning the rooftop was essentially out of action. The mixed shared dorm being on the street rather than in the building meant that we had some disturbances from passers by making noise late at night, but that was only brief.

One of the best hostels I’ve stayed at!
Fantastic- will definitely return! Highly recommend :) I’ve stayed in lots of hostels and this is one of the best. Staff were incredible - so helpful and friendly. It really makes such a difference to the vibe and energy of the place when the staff are awesome. Lots of info and everything was made so easy.
Super clean. Great bathrooms and showers. Excellent location in centre of Madrid but on a quiet street. No outside noise. Air con in the rooms and throughout the property, which was excellent for summertime.
Lots of little details that were appreciated- phone holder when charging bed. Sockets and curtain at bed. Comfy mattress and pillows.
Roof terrace is incredible. All the common spaces are comfortable and spacious.
Social atmosphere if you’re looking for that -lots of activities, Luggage storage, etc.
Gracias Hat Madrid :)

The location of this hostel is great, really central and you can walk everywhere. I did not take part of any activities but they habe organized pub crawl, sangria workshop and more. They have a nice rooftop patio and has happy hours starting at 5pm. I was staying in a 4 bed room w private bathroom, which was all i expected from a hostel. It was clean. The only issue i had was the sound from the street. If i had to stay there again, I'd not stay on the street side (ask for a courtyard room).
