One of the best hostels I’ve stayed at!

Fantastic- will definitely return! Highly recommend :) I’ve stayed in lots of hostels and this is one of the best. Staff were incredible - so helpful and friendly. It really makes such a difference to the vibe and energy of the place when the staff are awesome. Lots of info and everything was made so easy. Super clean. Great bathrooms and showers. Excellent location in centre of Madrid but on a quiet street. No outside noise. Air con in the rooms and throughout the property, which was excellent for summertime. Lots of little details that were appreciated- phone holder when charging bed. Sockets and curtain at bed. Comfy mattress and pillows. Roof terrace is incredible. All the common spaces are comfortable and spacious. Social atmosphere if you’re looking for that -lots of activities, Luggage storage, etc. Gracias Hat Madrid :)

Good hostel

Very centrally located which made exploring Madrid very easy, the staff were lovely and really helpful, the bed was very comfortable and the bathroom facilities were good. Always very clean as well. Only issue was that it wasn't as social as it was made oit to be, but this wasn't helped by the poor weather meaning the rooftop was essentially out of action. The mixed shared dorm being on the street rather than in the building meant that we had some disturbances from passers by making noise late at night, but that was only brief.
