Madrid Hostels

The location is very convenient—it’s only about a 15–20 minute walk from Atocha Station. I even walked back to the hostel alone at 2:30 a.m. and felt safe the entire way. The staff were incredibly friendly. One of the nicest surprises was the free welcome drink, which I could enjoy at the hostel’s restaurant. Breakfast was also included in my booking, and it was a generous buffet with plenty of options to choose from. A big thank you to the entire team for your kindness, for keeping everything so clean, and for creating such a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

The best in the area! Clean, organized, and the staff are incredibly welcoming! Plus, the location is perfect! I recommend it in every possible way!

Everything was good, I leave very satisfied with this hostel and would recommend for any solo traveller, very clean The only thing that could be better is the shower that it was a little bit difficult to get a good temperature and we have to click the shower button every minute to get more water to continue the shower so this was a little irritating but ok. Otherwise everything was perfect

Just a few minutes' walk from the SOL metro station, making it incredibly convenient for getting around. It's also within a 20-minute walk to the Royal Palace and the Prado Museum. There are plenty of restaurants and a large supermarket nearby. All of this, combined with the price, makes it excellent value for money.

The location is fantastic, right next to the train station. The entire building has been newly renovated and feels very comfortable. We booked a quad room, and one of my fellow travelers had incredibly smelly shoes. Luckily, he agreed to open the windows, and since my bed was by the window, I had a constant supply of fresh air. The downside of open windows was the street noise, which was loud all night. On the ground floor, the owner runs a bar. We added breakfast for 10 euros, which was a very standard continental breakfast. The basement has a common room, as well as coin-operated washing machines and luggage storage. The guy at the front desk yesterday wasn't very friendly. :-)

This hotel is about a 12-14 minute walk (850 meters) from the train station (which has a metro connection). Hotels in Madrid are generally expensive with small rooms, so the only real perks here are the convenient location and relatively new facilities. I chose it because I had an early high-speed train the next day. I also bought breakfast, but it was incredibly disappointing. I'd highly recommend skipping breakfast here – it doesn't even compare to a B&B breakfast and definitely isn't worth the price.

A surprisingly nice experience. I stayed in a mixed room for 8. Everyone was quiet and neat. The bathroom and toilet is very clean. The staff Arecia was very friendly. I’d stay again.

The Hostel is an economic way to have a safe stay. Furthermore it’s clean and I had no problems with the persons in the bedroom. Unfortunately, the elevator wasn’t working the five days of my stay. Additionally the air conditioning in my room on the fifth floor didn’t work. However I enjoyed my stay there and would come back.

The place looked clean at first glance, but the shower curtain had severe mold. Two out of four toilets were out of order due to a broken stall. The beds swayed a lot even with the slightest movement, and even when still, they felt wobbly and unstable. It was quite scary, I was worried they might collapse. Considering it's not a budget hotel, I think more maintenance is needed. The location, however, was convenient. Personally, I found it very annoying when some rude guests were loudly talking on the phone late at night and their phone kept beeping with incoming messages.

To check in, you need to contact them via WhatsApp at the entrance. The staff responsible for check-ins weren't very responsive, and I had to wait 5-10 minutes, even making a call to them. However, another staff member, an uncle who manages the hostel, was incredibly warm and genuine. I forgot my locker code twice and he kindly reset it for me. The biggest downside was definitely the room, mainly due to a strong odor. Some guests' body odor was so overwhelming and the ventilation wasn't good, which severely impacted the living experience. I couldn't sleep at all that night, partly because of the pervasive snoring from many guests. The continuous snoring led me to pack my bags and leave at around 3 AM. Overall, the facilities were fine, and the downtown location is excellent, but the room smell was just too much.
