This hostel was right in the heart of everything, no need for the metro to most places you'd walk it just as quick! We were told in the hostel that the street surrounding it can be risky, and to take extra care at night, but we never once felt at threat, we felt very safe the duration of our...

Great location, clean rooms, nice staff. The main room and breakfast room is a great place to meet people (which I did), or not if you do not want to. Would definitely stay again.

No fun at all (for gay or not gay peoples). The staff is not friendly. In the other hand, you are IN the place in Madrid to go out... To conclude, I will not recommand this place to stay in Madrid

Loved the great freedom. Sharing bathroom was no problem since there were not too many people to share with. After I got my keys there was no control as to what you did in the room or who you could bring to visit. Location was super.

The hostel was better than expected. We got a very large room with very large comfortable beds and a tv with cable. The bathrooms were cleaned every day so sharing bathrooms with other rooms wasn't too bad.

I had a small single room w/shared bath...perfect for one. For the price, well worth it. Staff polite. One host kept sending me to ¨bear bars¨ which I have no interest in. Need to have gay bar guides in multiple languages to help tourists...

Nice, accommodating staff. Paid for a double, private. they said four of us could stay in there, if we needed. You pay for the room, not number of people. Free breakfast was a nice touch. Small bathroom though. Good location for Madrid. right in center of city.

They are certainly straight-friendly, too. (I'm a straight guy, but I chose to stay there because of the location and good reviews.) It's a great place to stay if you want find out where to party with the Spaniards instead of just fellow tourists.
