The location of this hostel is its huge selling point, it's so close to so many areas, and only a couple of minutes walk from Gran Via. Only 10 minutes or so from masalaña and chueca, and 10-15 minutes from Plaza Mayor and the market. The hostel itself is safe and clean, and all the staff are very friendly. They will look after your bags if you arrive early or need to leave after check in which is a really nice bonus. The room is basic, but clean, and can be cleaned every day if you wish. We sometimes couldn't get comfy in the beds, but obviously this is down to personal preference! The rooms were always cool and clean. The only downside is that we didn't have a safe, so we left everything locked in our bags. Other than that it's great value and we'd be happy to stay again.
