Really clean and new hostel in a good neighborhood of Madrid. The beds are comfortable and the showers are hot. They also organize events daily and have free dinner regularly. There’s a spacious common area so it was very easy to make friends here. All the workers were super friendly and helpful, including the volunteers and cleaning staff. Thanks to Gabo especially, who drew out a map of the city for me and answered all my questions during my stay.

    The best hostel I ever stayed at anywhere in the world. They have really good and modern facilities overall, and they don't invent all sorts of weird charges for late arrivals, bed linen, and such. They even include in the price a towel. They have a good, cheap and super fast washing machine and dryer, good showers, good check-in, and a good breakfast. And the location is basically as central as Madrid allows.

    The 4-person room is spacious! There are plenty of luggage/cloaking spaces. The shower room is around 6 sqm that feels like a hotel instead of a hostel! The most important thing is the noise cancelling design everywhere - the door, the bunk bed, the flooring - you won’t notice if someone is moving around which guarantee a good sleep. This is the best hostel I’ve experienced.
