Quality/Price is very good. ##### Jose Maria Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Lad Mar 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Bathroom was really clean ##### Lad Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Mark May 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service A cheaper overnight stay in a good central location of Madrid. ##### Mark Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Lindsey Oct 24, 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This facility is a very basic/ bare minimum place to sleep. you need to pay for towels 5 euro. And there may or may not be toilet paper available. The place is not cozy, but does have a hard working cleaning team. Reception may or may not be available when needed. Found the location to be fantastic, located in trendy area and lots of bars restaurants etc. hostel is overpriced for what you get. ##### Lindsey Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### OOsten Oct 20, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Staff was very nice and responsive ##### OOsten Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bolaji Sep 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Host was in constant communication with me to ensure i arrived at the right location, gave advice on things to help me settle in fast and enjoy my experience in madrid. ##### Bolaji Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barry Mar 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great value and comfortable. I was greeted by a friendly receptionist who gave me all the information I required. The room was clean, warm and secure. I found that I needed to wear earplugs to avoid being kept awake by people using the security codes during the night. With ear plugs it was no problem. I stayed two nights comfortably for a very reasonable fee. Ten minutes walk to Museo Reina Sofia and a further twenty minutes to Museo Prado. ##### Barry Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Mr Mohamed Apr 1, 2024 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities If you want to stay cheap, it’s perfect but very noisy area night bathrooms are separate to rooms and toilet. Very noisy people used them all night, the reception man and the cleaner lady very good, looked after everything for us had to change room, as had leak in the night from the roof and the cleaning lady sorted out everything and changed our room straightaway with no complaints, very apologetic. ##### Mr Mohamed Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Oscar Oct 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities THIS IS MY FIRST TIME AT A HOSTEL. I had a lovely 10 nights. The room is decent and for the price you can’t beat it. Make sure to ask in advance for a room with a balcony, they are for the most part first come first serve. Thank you to the host for letting me relax in the lobby area while I waited for my room. Overall it’s clean, no thin walls, and in a great area that’s close to downtown. The only downside is the noise outside. If you can sleep with a busy night life outside then you’ll be just fine. Thank you again! ##### Oscar Stayed 10 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Christopher May 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service Barebones hostel, having a private room is really nice if you don’t want to share a room with 11 strangers. However, our check-in experience was a nightmare, as a neighbor had to contact the property owner to let me in as I was not given the code after checking in online. Furthermore the room’s floor tiles were not properly cemented to the ground. All of this being said, the neighborhood was great and not tourists-y and the front desk worker when she was there was very helpful and spoke great English. ##### Christopher Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### bi Nov 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Clean and helpful stuff. ##### bi Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### YONGGYU Oct 7, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel is worst hotel ever I have experienced ##### YONGGYU Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gabriela Jun 13, 2024 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Easy in and out for the hostel. Would stay again :) ##### Gabriela Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### María Jul 15, 2025 . ##### María Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### sasha Jul 4, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities this is simply a place that is a last resort option. The area is awful the heat was awful and i am pretty sure there were bed bugs. It should be cheaper for what it is really. Do not stay here alone if you are a woman, not worth it, spend the extra 20 bucks and stay somewhere better. ##### sasha Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lynda Oct 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The first day I arrived there was a big, crazed man theatening me in the nearby plaza. The police were there regularly so conditions improved. ##### Lynda Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### julio Dec 2, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities i reserve 7 nigths only stay 2 no power for the 2 nigths ##### julio Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Fang Ying May 7, 2025 Disliked: Staff & service Misleading listing - did not say "Double Room" also has a shared bathroom - the same as "Double Room with Shared Bathroom" listing. Having two listings of different names and prices with the same room type and shared bathrooms is super misleading. ##### Fang Ying Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Carlo Maria Jan 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Central ##### Carlo Maria Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Andrew Oct 19, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities The room was tiny. More like a closet. Not even a trash can. One tub for about 20 rooms. Room smelled terrible from cigarette smoke. ##### Andrew Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Jules May 26, 2024 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities for 3 consecutive nights the lock on the room's door with code did not work, despite promises it would be repaired. We had to call a nr and after quite some attempts the door was unlocked from distance ##### Jules Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Daniel Jun 17, 2024 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Hostel doesn't really have any signage, so locating it can be tricky. The Area to the left (as you face the entrance) is quite sketchy, drug taking, gang-like behaviour (we even witnessed a fight). So take care when leaving the building. I was in Room 316 - A previous review stated the tiled floor was broken back in May, it's still not fixed as of June 14/17\. Rooms are ok, very little means of keeping cool (no fan or A/C. One of the Toilets was out of order and vending machine in the communal area was seemingly broken. Walls are quite thin so you can hear most of what's going on in other rooms. I chose this as a cheap and cheerful option for a short break in Madrid and I wouldn't recommend anyone book this unless they were really desperate. It's tired, there's nobody on site most of the time and at night it's quite sketchy if you're on your own. ##### Daniel Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jose F Oct 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service Cuando llegamos no había nadie para hacer el checking, fue gracias a otro huésped q nos berindo un número y tras mucha insistencia nos contestaron pero nunca tubieron la gentileza de mandarnos un correo con los detalles del checking ##### Jose F Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jairo Manuel Oct 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Habia restaurantes a corta distancia, incluso al frente hay una pizzeria. Cosas para mejorar, no rellenaban o se acababa el papel sanitario muy rápido. Por suerte hay un supermercado cerca que se puede comprar papel higienico o toallitas humedas para resolver. ##### Jairo Manuel Stayed 9 nights in Oct 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Naiara Oct 2, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities La experiencia fue muy mala. La habitación estaba sucia, con paredes desconchadas y humedad que hacía que dentro hiciera frío incluso cuando fuera la temperatura era agradable. Se nota que es un edificio antiguo al que solo le han añadido un par de cosas para convertirlo en hostel, pero está totalmente descuidado.La iluminación en la habitación era mínima, además daba a un patio interior sucio y sin nada de luz natural. Debajo de la cama había basura, lo que demuestra la falta de limpieza. El baño compartido se mantiene aceptable, aunque solamente lo limpian una vez al día.El aislamiento es pésimo: por la noche había muchísimo ruido de gente entrando, saliendo y hablando, y por la mañana también se escuchaba demasiado trajín. Además, se oye todo lo de las habitaciones contiguas. La ubicación tampoco compensa: ni el metro ni cercanías están cerca, y la zona no tiene interés.Lo único positivo es el personal, correcto en el trato, aunque apenas tuve interacción. En general, no lo recomiendo en absoluto. ##### Naiara Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Social Hub Madrid 4 star](https://www.expedia.ca/Madrid-Hotels-The-Social-Hub-Madrid-4.h78393913.Hotel-Information) > > [Limehome Madrid Calle de Nuñez de Balboa](https://www.expedia.ca/Madrid-Hotels-Limehome-Madrid-Calle-De-Nunez-De-Balboa.h96037564.Hotel-Information) > > [Adults Only Resorts & Hotels in Downtown Sevierville](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Sevierville-Sevierville-Hotels-Adults-Only-Resorts.0-n904309114516377600-0-tAdultsOnlyResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Historic Hotels in Passau](https://www.expedia.ca/Passau-Hotels-Historic-Hotel.0-0-d5242-tHistoricHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Apartments Niagara Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Apartments.d6023515-aaApartments.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Medford](https://www.expedia.ca/Medford-Hotels.d8787.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Condo Rentals Goshen](https://www.expedia.ca/Goshen-Condos.d553248634983151907-aaCondos.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Avani Alonso Martinez Madrid Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Madrid-Hotels-NH-Alonso-Martinez.h523297.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Helena](https://www.expedia.ca/Helena-Bed-And-Breakfast.d1481-aaBedAndBreakfast.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Melia Madrid Serrano](https://www.expedia.ca/Madrid-Hotels-Melia-Madrid-Serrano.h6734.Hotel-Information) > > [Slow Suites Luchana](https://www.expedia.ca/Madrid-Hotels-Slow-Suites-Luchana.h12738382.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Viking](https://www.expedia.ca/Viking-Hotels.d6294069.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Nobu Hotel Los Cabos](https://www.expedia.ca/Cabo-San-Lucas-Hotels-Nobu-Hotel-Los-Cabos.h33617448.Hotel-Information) > > [ITC Madrid by Soho Boutique](https://www.expedia.ca/Madrid-Hotels-ITC-Madrid-By-Soho-Boutique.h110887539.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Kapaa](https://www.expedia.ca/Kapaa-Hotels.d8213.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [GARDEN HOUSE MADRID](https://www.expedia.ca/Madrid-Hotels-GARDEN-HOUSE-MADRID.h107283201.Hotel-Information) > > [LooP América - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Madrid-Hotels-Hotel-LooP.h74517346.Hotel-Information) > > [Glorieta de Bilbao Madrid Centro](https://www.expedia.ca/Madrid-Hotels-Glorieta-De-Bilbao-Madrid-Centro.h24032630.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Madrid - Centre Retiro by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Madrid-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Madrid-Centre-Retiro-An-IHG-Hotel.h94999583.Hotel-Information) > > [Vertice Roomspace Madrid](https://www.expedia.ca/Madrid-Hotels-VERTICE-ROOMSPACE-MADRID.h6113947.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Portland (PDX) to Abbotsford (YXX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/pdx/yxx/portland-to-abbotsford) > > [Flights from Incheon (ICN) to Da Nang (DAD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/icn/dad/seoul-to-da-nang) > > [Flights from Richmond (YVR) to Rochester (ROC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/roc/vancouver-to-rochester) > > [Flights from Great Falls (GTF) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/gtf/lax/great-falls-to-los-angeles) > > [Flights from Maia (OPO) to Hounslow (LHR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/opo/lhr/porto-to-london) ### Activities ### Packages
