The hostel was generally fine, but we stayed there mainly for the jacuzzi, which was closed during our entire three-day stay. Overall, it was okay, but not my favorite place I’ve stayed at in Spain.

Very modern hotel, in the heart of Madrid close to all the attractions.
While I knew we were reserving a Hostel, I had not anticipated so many young people. Being in our later years this was a little overwhelming. People everywhere chattering, laughing and having a good time- but too much for us - would have preferred a more relaxing experience.

4 stars. Convenient location, really nice rooftop view and bar area.
Cons: Not huge issues but fyi - pretty full of young travel groups - so common areas were loud/busy during the day, great for groups. No soap in bathroom shower area, $6 towel rental (normal but just fyi). Sink, shower/bathroom is in bedroom area for some noise at night.
Stayed here 1 day, stayed in another for 5 - I preferred another hostel in Madrid

Great location. Close to food, shopping and public transportation. The staff are friendly and understanding. I strongly suggest to have your breakfast in the hotel. Another good thing about this hotel is that they have a restaurant on the main floor, and a rooftop bar / dining area. Though I would suggest that they keep the guest washroom open, even 30min after the restaurant closes; and cleaner 😉

The hostel is in the central Madrid and it is very easy to get there. Staffs are super helpful and the room is clean. It would be great if they also have a self kitchen there.
