It was a quick stay for 1 night only between my trip from Seville and Valencia but as far I could see the hostel looks nice and the staff is friendly. Good ambient and installations. Stayed in a mixed room and the bathroom and shower is much better than the other hostel I stayed in Madrid before, not far from this one. There’s a separation for people put their toiletries which I think it’s really important, as most hostels are disorganised and lack privacy unfortunately.

One of the best hostel experiences I’ve had. The restaurant , the area, the people all made it happen. They have events and meetups for guest! It was a clean and tidy room, I stayed there twice and for over a 10 day stretch! The staff were friendly and helpful. Also everyone was there.. I saw families, singles , big groups , small groups LGBT friendly, great networking and space to telework.

The hostel is located near the center. I liked the concept of the hostel and cleanliness. It has a restaurant downstairs and it’s crowded in the evening and noisy. I went to sleep around 10 pm but before midnight I couldn’t sleep because people were chatting and smoking cigarettes downstairs. The staff was helpful but they didn’t allow me to get in the room before 3 pm even though it was empty. I had to wait an hour. I know that check in is at 3 pm but if the room is empty they could make sometime an exception.
