Good option for a short stay

The location is great—super close to Plaza Mayor and well-connected for getting to other interesting spots in Madrid. The rooms are a bit small, but they were clean and perfectly fine for a short stay. The hostel has a nice rooftop, though it closes early. Overall, it’s a good option in Madrid, but it didn’t quite have that classic hostel vibe that makes it easy to meet new people.

The staff was just amazing. So helpful and available 24/7. The location is great - so close to Mayor Real. The site is clean and safe and I met nearly everyone staying there. I'm 58 yrs old and have never felt younger or hipper than I did staying here. Every night is free Sangria - and a chance to meet fellow travelers - and the roof bar is so cool! Great value breakfast, too! Couldn't be happier that I stayed here.
