Hostel located in the good location. Shops, restaurants, bars and supermarkets are nearby. Was my mistake did not check in detail that I booked a SHARED BATHROOM room. So, I feel pretty inconvenient. Good thing is there are a large common area with pantry, with electric kettle, micro wave, fridge and kitchen utensils for use. Room is clean, but small.

For the price and location, this property was amazing. Incredible rooms with AC, safe area, good amenities. The property had an easy check in late at night that was entirely remote. This made our trip very easy. The one downside is that there is no staff or emergency line available after hours. In my stay we required help and were unable to get it. It also did not help that there was minimal signage on the street to indicate the hostel. The hostel staff quickly helped the next morning, but it is worth mentioning that after hours staff or phone line would be extremely beneficial.

Great little gem in a good location
I stayed in a private room. Clean, comfortable, and efficiently arranged. Good bed, bedding, and pillows. Great rain shower; excellent water pressure. Nice to have use of kitchen facilities as I stayed 5 nights. Good location; walking distance to museums, restaurants, and day trip meeting point. There is an elevator in the building and air con in the room. Would stay again.

Solo break
I think this place is great if you can get 2 for $70 per night. Few minor issues with cleanliness (blanket/sheets) but overall a good place, nice staff and carb loaded continental breakfast to set you up for the day. Simple but plenty of everything

Good location, basic yet pleasant
The location is central and near a metro station. The night receptionist doesn't speak English which is not ideal but the morning receptionist was very friendly and helpful (spoke English). The morning breakfast though basic, was a nice touch. The stay felt homy and cozy.

Location is great. Overall hostel was very clean, shared bathroom was very clean, room was comfortable, beds were comfortable. Nothing negative to say. There is free breakfast but nothing special (some pastries pre-packaged, some fruit) but the fact that they even offer breakfast is great.

Lots of street noise but great wifi
Pros: Awesome wifi connectivity and speed in room. Good location, not far from Puerta del Sol and a short 15min walk (or three metro stops) from the main Madrid Atocha train station. Modern shower in room with great shower head and side spray function! Cons: Up on level 4 so there is lots of stairs to walk up, or a tiny little lift to get in. Extremely noisy when we were there on a Thursday. Included breakfast is quite minimal.

Clean well located hostal near Puerta Del Sol
This was a nice, clean hostal well located. 5 minute walk to Puerta Del Sol and 1 minute to the Tirso Molina metro station. If you are looking to spent the night at a clean not Very spacious room, this is a very good place to stay in. I do not recommend if you have a baby like we did since there is not enough space to accommodate a crib although they did for us.

Great value hostel in central Madrid
Only stayed here one night on route to Cádiz, but I found the room to be clean and comfortable (if a bit on the small side; it could also do with more plug sockets), showers were fantastic, staff were helpful and WiFi worked well. The complimentary breakfast was also a welcome added extra.

Disappointing stay but the city was great!
As I have been traveling for 80 days this was my least favorite hostel or hotel. The front desk staff was not friendly and the shower in the room did not drain very good. The neighborhood was not very great for travel, as you had very sketchy people all around. Offered drugs several times right outside. Left one day early even after paying. Madrid was beautiful though!

Right in the centre of Madrid
This hostel is located right in the centre of Madrid: a half block from the Metro line 1, 2 blocks from Plaza San Jacinto, 4 blocks from Plaza Mayor. It is arranged as hostel rooms with shared kitchen and bathroom facilities. In spite of being shared, these facilities were very good. Everything was clean. Everything worked. I would stay again!
