Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Central House is a great place to stay, but the host was very poor and this particular one doesn't have a quite time like the one on Lisbon. The host never asked me if it was my first time in Madrid, didn't provide any suggestions, or directions, was very impersonal, and then he asked if I was OK with sleeping on the top bed? I said, I don't understand your question, do you have other option? He said "no" so I was like, what is your point? I will rate the "welcoming or host" service very poor. Not what you expect from a hostel. This hostel has a "bar" included (not part of the hostel, inside the hostel) and a patio...there was drunk people screaming and laughing very late at night into the early morning hours. Next time I will pick a different place.

This is the first time in 25 years I stayed in a hostel. It far exceeded my expectations. I started in a 4 person so female dorm. Or bathroom was clean. The staff was super friendly. I had their breakfast one morning which was better nice. It includes Selection of meat, cheese, bread, fruit, yogurt, juice, eggs and two coffee machines. The lobby is very trendy and conducive to hanging out. It was a very enjoyable stay and I would recommend it. I was having alone.

A fabulous budget option for central Madrid

It's easy to flinch a bit when you hear the term "hostel" but the Central House in Lavapiés in Madrid isn't just a clean, comfortable place to stay. With a funky bar that has something fun programmed every night (walking tours, trivia nights, language exchanges) and super-helpful staff who know the area inside and out, it's a great resource for getting to know Europe's most vibrant capital city. It's located within walking distance of the Plaza Mayor and the Puerta del Sol, with lots of great bookstores, bars and restaurants nearby, and is easy to reach by public transit.

Staff service was phenomenal! They were very friendly and accommodating. We arrived early and they were super nice and accommodated us and let us check in early. They also call the cabs for us whenever needed. The bathrooms were not the cleanest and you had to rent towels. Other than that, everything was great!

Highly recommend. Great location, clean and modern

Location was really good. I walked everywhere. The hostel was very modern and clean, almost felt more like a hotel. Having the cityplaza resto right across was very convenient for a bite and a drink. A few cons…had to pay to store my luggage. Every other place I’ve been to does it for free. No hair dryer in the room, had to ask at the front desk and the hair dryer stopped working after 2mins. The communal dinner doesn’t really seem to be a thing. The people at the city plaza didn’t even know what I was talking about when I mentioned it. But overall, I would still highly recommend
