Comments: staff were helpful and friendly but you had to pay for everything and even though rules are useful- I did feel that it was a bit unrelaxed due to a high amount of them.

Comments: In the middle of everything - close to sights, shopping, metro. Noisy if you have a room facing the street. Inexpensive internet access. Lockers. Nightly events. Decent choice for a place to stay if you are going to be out often and want to be in the middle of things.

Comments: i like the central location and the clean toilets. however the room i was in (room2) had a musky smell. the bed linens given were too small n thin (kind of papery thin) and do not spread over the entire beds. the hostel only washes the bed linen so hygiene is questionable. but bathroom was very well maintained. toast bread for breakfast was very good as well though that is an individual's preference. room was facing main road so it was alittle noisy. i like the idea of having our own bedlamp.

Comments: The location is MAGNIFICENT, right in the centre of Madrid! The dorms are fine and the breakfast too. The toilets are very clean but the showers could be improved. One important detail: One of the girls of the staff insisted talking to me in English, even when she was Spanish and I am a native Spanish speaker too. That was desperating!! In spite of that, they care a lot about security and you have a great locker for your stuff in your room!!

Comments: This hostel is a bit odd in that you donºt have a key to lock your room so your room is unlocked all the time. There are good lockers in each room though.

Comments: Just a nice clean and quiet place to stay... it has the potential to be much more, but i will also say that I enjoyed myself just fine while I was here. Would be nice if the common area was open to users later then 10:30 or 11:00 as long as they stay quiet, as there is nowhere else to sit an hang out after this time in the hostel. Don't be scared to stay here, its a decent hostel.

Comments: I got locked in by room service one day. They claimed they never lock the room doors, but it wouldn't open no matter how hard I pushed or pulled. The free breakfast was quite bland.

Comments: Hostel was good value and in a good location. Was disappointing to find that the bottom sheets on the beds aren't changed, would recommend using an additional sheet of your own if you stay.

Comments: Lovely hostel in the centre of madrid. The staff wasn\'t that friendly this time. Very nice common rooms, so you can meet other travelers. Too bad that our bed was overbooked. But it\'s a great place if you want a safe place to crash in the city centre.
