Clean and ideally located for first time in Madrid

Mola is ideally located for a first visit to Madrid. It isn’t in a hip neighborhood but it is smack in the middle of the center, less than 5 minutes away from Plaza Mayor, Puerta del Sol, Gran Via, etc. Most tourist sights are a stone throw away which make the hostel a perfect home base for a first visit to the city. The room and en-suite bathroom were very clean (above average for a hostel). There are some visible signs of humidity around the hostel but it doesn’t smell of mold or anything like that- I think they might have had an isolated flooding incident that they haven’t fully fixed from a cosmetic standpoint. The friendly staff was available 24/7. While I wouldn’t stay in this area of Madrid again (I’d probably go to Chueca or Malasaña for a second trip to Madrid) I would definitely recommend the hostel for first timers in the city!

Champions League weekend

Clean and comfortable with friendly staff. Window blinds broken so early sun a problem. Champions league final weekend so I'm embarrassed to say what I paid to share a room with 7 others but all accommodation in the city had inflated rates. Thankfully the bars and restaurants kept their prices normal. Hostel convenient to city centre. First time doing the hostel thing and that box is ticked for me.
