Comments: This hostel was great! There were 2 computers in the lobby with free internet access plus free wireless if you brought your laptop. They came and made our bed every day. My group reserved a double room and a quad room. Both had private bathrooms and we werent even expecting that. Great location. Very close to Plaza Mayor.

Comments: We stayed at the hostel for 1 week and we're allowed to use the kitchen so the info on the site is incorrect!! You don't have to stay there at least for 2 weeks so enjoy your cooking!

Comments: Staff were very unhelpful and unfriendly. Tried to charge us more than that stated in our confirmation email and pre-emptively charged my credit card because we checked in a few hours later than the start of the check in time. Also, only given 1 key per room, which was very inconvenient.

Comments: No es un mal lugar: limpio, ordenado y seguro, pero el staff no tiene buena comunicación entre sí, lo que nos produjo un conflicto con ellos, y posteriores malas caras de algunos de ellos a nosotros. Eso hizo pésima nuestra estadía. No era muy agradable llegar cansado despues de recorrir madrid, y saludar sin ser saludado. Además no todo lo prometido en la página es cierto. Recomiendo preguntar muy bien antes de reservar.

Comments: The staff were not very friendly and they made it very hard for us to use the kitchen. They also locked the showers at 10pm and had no fans or airconditioning in the rooms.

Comments: Nice hostel. We lived in a 4 people room with a private bath room. But we saw the shared bath room was clean enough. The staff was friendly, answering our every question, recommonding us to a wonderful restaurant to eat the paella and a cheap bar to see the flamenco, helping us to book a taxi for sending us to airport in early morning. We are thankful for choosing this hostel.

Comments: Location was okay, but hostel was a dump! Very dirty and the beds were rock hard! We couldn't get past how dirty eveything was! And noisy! Walls are paper thin and people are suppose to be quite after midnight nobody is so don't expect to sleep at all! The bathroom was shared by too many rooms and always busy! We would never go back or tell anyone else to! Should have spent more and stayed at a better hostel! ! AVOID THIS PLACE!!!

Comments: Very nice hostel. Staff friendly and helpful. . . Very clean and new- bathrooms and showers very clean- cleaning lady cleans throughout the day and even makes your bed and straightens room each day! Not the best for meeting people (tho i went off season) but so close to the centre and at a great price! I'd recommend and stay here again any time i'm in madrid!

Comments: Location was great. You could walk to the center in a few minutes. The guys from "Free tours" come and pick you up in the lobby for a "free" city tour or in the night for a pub crawl. It's fun and you can pay the guide as much as you think he deserved. Rooms were not the most comfortable. But the price is unbeatable. Note that no breakfast is included/ offered!

Comments: The hostel isnt very far from the center of town, but down a small dark alley. They have wood floors which are extremely squeaky and the noises of the road are completely audible from inside the room. The showers and rooms were clean. We wanted to lock up our luggage during the day but they only had one key for the three lockers in the room and that key didnt even work. The reception desk is 3 floors up (4th floor). They have rooms starting 2 floors up and that really confused us.

Comments: went into this hostel on the day i had it booked for and no one was there to greet me, waited ages and in the end had to get another hostel, a total joke and a nightmare to find, not even a hostel, just a few smal rooms upstairs. never again.

Comments: This Hostel was great. Clean bathrooms, nice sized lockers, great english speaking staff, some really good events....GO ON THE FREE TOUR...my only qualm was that the front door was not always locked, but this was probably the responsibility of the tenants, not the staff.

Comments: Our stay was great. You can't beat the location, and the hostel has free activities every day: a walking tour of Madrid, a pub crawl, etc. Clean and friendly, and with comfortable beds. Definitely recommend.
