Outstanding little gem of a hostel right next to El Matadero Cultural Center, Plaza Rio 2, and Manzanares River. Very comfortable and clean accomodations, they have a fully equipped kitchens and a lounging zone. The best, though, is the costumer sevice which is at a level of ***. Highly recommended.
