I chose Petite Hostel for its excellent location, just seconds from Príncipe Pío station and about 7 minutes from Plaza de España and Gran Vía. The staff was friendly, and Fiorella was very courteous in helping me with my check-in. The surrounding area was very clean, and the breakfast was good. For my travel dates, only an 8-bed dorm was available, even though I wanted the 4-bed female dorm. The room was very small and cramped, making it quite uncomfortable. The storage is under the lower bunkbeds. The bed was comfortable, but I barely slept well because the lack of space amplified the noises. In all my travels, this is the first time I've had such inconsiderate roommates, constantly interrupting during the night. They also left the shower area soaking wet and brushed hair everywhere—very inconsiderate. Besides the room situation, I have no complaints.

I did not go. Never intended to go back there. I don't eat food that I threw up. Racists, biaised, classless, ill-mannered people like these should not have any business dealing with other races. I reported them and nothing was checked for my safety when you thought I will return there? Except for the front entrance pee smelling odor, the waiting area seemed alright. I did not see the roms. This review is for the staff. Especially the heavy set rude one that was stuffing her face in a whole in the back; I am glad you can do more with my money.
