    If so, add someplace to cook or heating up the food.

    I love this place, I’ve been there several times and every time I stay in Madrid, I try to book here. I love the facilities, the guests, the staff and the ambience. Good quality for the value!

    A very nice hostel in Lavapies with modern beds and equipment. The room, where I stayed had 4 beds and a bathroom/wc inside the room. It also has a common/lounge room and its own restaurant. A very nice and cheap hostel to stay in Madrid.

    The room doesn't have air conditioners, at night was a hot in winter. The recommendations from the staff to eat were expensive, non acurated but good.

    The Hostel is really well located, all the main atractions are quite close, the neighborhood is full of nice restaurants, stores and coffee shops. Amazing enviroment. The place is clean and the room is big enougth for everyone.

    Perfect place to relax and work

    • Solo traveller
    • Bed in 8-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Twice in four days our dorm ran out of toilet roll and, unlike other experiences I've had, it didn't appear to be guests stockpiling at their beds.

    I needed somewhere reasonably priced, as travelling alone for work, and with decent co-working spaces. The whole place has a really welcoming feel in the communal areas and the facilities within each bunk were also excellent, helped by respectable room mates. It is also perfectly situated in Lavapies, that has lots of great bars, coffee shops and empanadas store within 200 yards! While working WiFi was never an issue which is always a relief.

    You should pay 29 euro for park which is quite high amount to be honest. Breakfast was okay but could be better.

    The bed was comfy and also they upgraded my reservation cause my room was overbooked. I stayed at premium one which has bigger beds. Atmosphere were nice, workers were really joyful and helpful.

    I found the room too hot but that's a personal preference.

    Central location. Nice bar right next to the hostel, that offered a free drink for hostel guests (small beer or juice). The bar was very lively and had some food options, and hostel guests got a discount. The additional breakfast was served there, with a varied choice and was worth the 9 euro paid.

    The breakfast was a bit expensive, but of course you can choose not to buy it.

    The facilities in and out side room are pretty good. It's not cheap but it is the best hostel I stayed in Spain. (I had a ten days trip in Spian during Chitistmas.)

    The walking tour was advertised as free but in reality it is tip based. We were a little surprised by this because in practice you have to pay the price of a normal tour. However, we enjoyed the tour and the guide (Erika) was very nice and made it super interesting :) Also fire safety of the building seemed a bit dangerous, as there was only a narrow staircase down and our room was at the other end of the hallway.

    The hotel was really clean and modern and staff was always nice. The breakfast was reasonably priced and good. There were also some activities that seemed fun but this is not the most sociable place for meeting other travelers. The location is really good, there are a lot of restaurants and pubs nearby and you can walk to the center in a short time.

    We had a family room. It had a very strong odour of sweat during the whole stay. There was a wet towel hanging in the bathroom - it seems like the cleaning staff isn't given enough time to clean properly. The heating works with a motion sensor and turns off automatically during the night, so it was a bit chilly in the morning (we stayed during very cold days though).

    The location is amazing, the staff is super helpful and the design is very cool.

    Bathroom needed a fan and it would be more helpful if there were more hooks to hang things up.

    Beds were so comfortable and warm- having 2 usb and 1 electrical port within the bunk was very useful. Room was very clean and bathroom was cleaned daily
