Room was clean, check in was easy, hostel is very small room got a bit smelly with little airflow. Some loud sounds when people showering. Breakfast was minimal but decent. I like walking and greenspace and found the location to be good. A good stay.

Absolutely underpriced. So cute, well decorated, extremely clean, and full of good vibes. The staff were exceptional, especially the Asian lady working there. Thank you so much for such a great experience and excellent service.

Nice location, not too far from the station. Hostel itself is clean, nice rooms as well. Only negative is the fact I was on the ground floor right next to the seating area so you could hear everyone and it’s not pleasant at 1am when there’s a big group just laughing away non stop. You can also hear everyone getting ready for breakfast and just chatting away as which is frustrating and breaks your sleep.

Area is ok for a short stay, but I would choose elsewhere as a base to actually explore Madrid. However it is very convenient to the Principe Pio train station/metro, which is why I chose it. The entrance is a little odd - check in is downstairs at the bar & the self check in machines weren't working. I slept well here, not too noisy & the beds are comfortable. The cleanliness leaves something to be desired though- while the sheets looked ok, my curtain had what appeared to be blood stains & there was a peice of used chewing gum on the shelf. As other reviews mentioned, the shower leaking onto the floor is still an issue, but there's a mop to clean up. There is also nowhere private to change after showering unless you go back into the wet shower (I was in an all female dorm thankfully!). Overall I'd still stay there again if needed for my travels though.

The hostel is very clean and well maintained. The bunkbeds are equipped with privacy curtains. I also loved the communal area as well as the onsite washer dryer combo. All around a solid hostel.

Great for the price. Location is perfect
For the price it was great. The only draw back is that the bedrooms did not have windows so waking up naturally was not easy. The location was amazing.

I chose Petite Hostel for its excellent location, just seconds from Príncipe Pío station and about 7 minutes from Plaza de España and Gran Vía. The staff was friendly, and Fiorella was very courteous in helping me with my check-in. The surrounding area was very clean, and the breakfast was good. For my travel dates, only an 8-bed dorm was available, even though I wanted the 4-bed female dorm. The room was very small and cramped, making it quite uncomfortable. The storage is under the lower bunkbeds. The bed was comfortable, but I barely slept well because the lack of space amplified the noises. In all my travels, this is the first time I've had such inconsiderate roommates, constantly interrupting during the night. They also left the shower area soaking wet and brushed hair everywhere—very inconsiderate. Besides the room situation, I have no complaints.

This is property is ok . Just not my style . The place is extremely small and claustrophobic. The beds are so close together that it's overwhelming for me. I also did not like the way the lockers are set up on the floor under the bed. I hated having to get down on my knees to get into the locker . The shower and bathroom was an extreme no no for me. I ended up going to another hostel that had a real bathroom . The most annoying thing was the window directly on my bed and while I was sleeping the housekeeper just opens it and freezing cold air comes in. This was very bizarre to me. Ohh and something to note is that the water doesn't have a hot of cold valve. So if you want to wake up and wash your face it will be with freezing cold water . I would not recommend this place at all.

I loved this location and it is in good condition. Something to improve is the temperature inside the building, too hot for me. But thanks, I will probably come back.
