Madrid Hostels

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!

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. :-)

The location is fantastic, everything is within a 20-minute walk. Up the street you'll find the Royal Palace and Puerta del Sol, as well as Plaza Mayor. Down the street are Retiro Park, the Prado Museum, and other museums.

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.

I stayed in a mixed 12-bed dorm. The temperature was good, the Wi-Fi was fast, and the beds were comfortable. If you're over 1.90 meters tall, it's a bit of a hassle. The bathrooms are integrated into the rooms, so the light is on all day and night, and since there's no way to separate the spaces, you can hear everything. They do provide shower gel, though, and a rather small towel. There were suspicious stains on my shower curtain... The location is unbeatable.

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.

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.

There were no proper ventilation for the room with 12 people in such tiny space. At night at each 20 minutes someone entered and put the lights on with shouting, gossiping and disturbing without caring for the persons who were sleeping. On person continuously continued talking over the phone for 3 hours until 3 pm at a go. Another person snored in such a way that it was impossible to sleep at all. It also seems that some people keeps their belonging in the room who does not belong there as border. I had a fligh at the early morning and i got lost for the whole nigh. Found no one to complain and they do not care even.
