Liked the fact this hostel was very quiet which is why we decided against being on the gran via, still ideal location to access everything. Most definitely stay there again. Aston martin metro stop is the closest to the hostel. Loved it! xxxclose

Probably the best Hostel I've ever stayed at. Great for a quiet break to discover Madrid. Cute, clean room with everything we needed, and it was really helpful that the lady who runs it speaks good english.

(very important)we were asked to leave our key with staff for security + they never once made us feel like an inconvenience! they were happy to talk to us about what we were doing + offer advice. we also left money + jewellery lying around so i do not beleieve they entered our room unless to clean it. there was not much of a view from the room but had a great big window which was good for fresh air. rooms did have good temp control. location was perfect, we never once had to catch public transport in the 3 days we spent in madrid. if/when i go back would love to stay there again! thankyou!close

Very nice people, well located. Stayed alone and did not have a problem. Can arrive anytime at night. Very central near a five minute walk to Atocha trainstation and the Prado. 10 or 15 minutes to Plaza Major. No towels in the rooms. very clean bathrooms with good showers.

We really enjoyed our stay here- the room was very clean, warm and nicely decorated, and the hosts really freindly and welcoming. Easy to get to on Metro, and close to parks and museums. Would definately reccomend!

Was more like a hotel than a hostal. Very clean and modern and nice people. Although, the beds could be better.
