This was better than I expected it to be. Many reviewers said it was loud at night and we got lucky. It was quiet for us. We got a private room with 2 bunk beds. We were there during peak heat and the AC was not adjustable in the room. I would say that was my biggest complaint. The room was clean. The staff were friendly enough. The rooftop terrace was lovely

Great location. Close to food, shopping and public transportation. The staff are friendly and understanding. I strongly suggest to have your breakfast in the hotel. Another good thing about this hotel is that they have a restaurant on the main floor, and a rooftop bar / dining area. Though I would suggest that they keep the guest washroom open, even 30min after the restaurant closes; and cleaner 😉

Super friendly night shift staff who helped me negotiate getting to the property as I drove there from the airport and had difficulty locating the place. Very convenient and great location to sightsee. Everything within walking distance. Be warned that the underground garage is difficult to navigate especially if you’re used to the large wide open parades of North America

Customer service is not so good
They accommodate lots and lots of teenagers on a camp or something. Some of the teens seems like they had coccaine or something that the yell bang the doors run in the hall way in the middle of the night and day. Really loud and noisy place. Very very busy

It was basic but clean. We only wanted to sleep there so this worked for us. The staff spoke English and was helpful. Bar allowed us to purchase wine and sit on the roof terrace - no problems (roof bar was not open being February). Enjoyed our stay!

The hostel is in the central Madrid and it is very easy to get there. Staffs are super helpful and the room is clean. It would be great if they also have a self kitchen there.
