Excellent

Liked: Located in city centre, Very comfortable bed and easy access. Rooftop lounge is good to meet other travellers. I love the check out time (12pm). Staff is very friendly, helpful and guided for tour in Madrid or nearby. Carrefour is in front of the hotel and many restaurants also within 1 minute walk away. If you’re foodie, then go to La Latina place, nearest this hotel to enjoy local food with cheap prices. I enjoyed my time there and Thanks!

Liked: Very nice place, well organized, clean, with a welcoming and super curated common area at the entrance, as well as a kitchen and tables in the basement (and a terrace and bar on the rooftop!).Room:The rooms are well distributed and I enjoyed a good sleep in the 6-bed female dorm (floor 0, facing inwards, no noises). It as an internal private bathroom.The bed (an upper one) was super comfy, with a small curtain (though not covered on top), lamps and shelves and hooks; I loved that the drawing to store your bag is very big, plus there is a huge shelf running along the wall in the room, which I found very useful as an additional place to keep one’s things handy. Facilities and moodThe whole hostel is very clean and the staff always welcoming, should you need any extra support (a hairdryer, extra cleaning of the toilet, etc).I never had breakfast at the hostel but I think that the price is average compared to what you’ll find around in the city (never spent less than 5).Something to mention is the supermarket right in front of the hostel, open daily from morning to 23pm, great if one wants to then take advantage of the well equipped kitchen.Activities are organised daily, but I only joined the walking tour (with a non-mandatory extra fee, run by a dedicated company). The people in the hostel were a nice mix of ages, also including some remote workers, so I think everyone might find some other guests to join, while also avoiding the risk of a too noisy party hostel.The location is super and any place is walking distance, not only the must-see on a touristic point of view but also including Malasaña/Chueca for some drinks/clubs at night (20-25 mins on foot).

All in all a great...

Liked: Cool activities, places to meet people. Amazing location. Our dorm (6 female) had 2 bathrooms and curtains on the bunks which was a big bonus.
Disliked: One day there wasn’t any warm water.

Superb

Liked: Location is very good.
