Great place for an adventurous traveler! Stayed in a 4 woman dorm. Warm showers, comfortable bed, places for charging electronics, privacy curtain which blocks light. Pay for the breakfast, totally worth it. Helpful staff. Walking distance to the metro and lots of things to see in Madrid.

This was a wonderful experience. The staff was very kind and even allowed us to check in early, though we only came early to ask about bag storage. The bar was a great addition and the breakfast, for 10€ each, was fantastic! Highly recommended. We are a family of five with two teenagers and a 5 year old.
