El Hostel está tremendamente sucio, matas de pelos y polvo rondan por las habitaciones y pasillo, y los baños hace tiempo que no se tropiezan con una bayeta, fregona o cualquier otro utensilio de limpieza.

Hostel was as expected, you get what you pay for, the owners and staff were very friendly and if you just want somewhere to get your head down then this does the job. I will agree that it is difficult to find and also once inside the building its a bit of a guessing game as to where to go.

This is a surprisingly small hostel and we couldn't understand how it had ever become one of the top voted hostels on hostel world. we had money stolen out of our safe provided by the hostel. don't let the cheap price be an incentive and stay elsewhere.

Hi there. It was grate being with you but what did pissed me off was that there were some friends of the guy who was responsible for the hostel and they spent all night shouting and making noise. It was a pain to ask them a bunch of times to stop, but they just didn't. Apart from that, it...

no hot water and the staff person gave us bad info on which terminal Ryan Air uses in Madrid. Security lockers were pretty small, but ok, not large enough for a laptop. The location was good though.

It's a residential building, on which some of the apartments belong to the hostel. So, 1st of all, don't seat on the couch at the hall. We did, while waiting for the check in time to start, and this old guy who lives there sent us away, and treated us like garbage! But except for this, our stay... more It's a residential building, on which some of the apartments belong to the hostel. So, 1st of all, don't seat on the couch at the hall.

But except for this, our stay at Bull's hostel was great, everything is very clean, the staff is excellent, Jorge and his wife were very nice at us! Not to mention the location, it's right in front of the metro station!close

It is true what people have said about bed bugs, but the staff dealt with it RIGHT AWAY. When breakfast is supplied by Enrique (he works most days) it is AWESOME!!! I met some great people here, spoke a lot of spanish, and got to enjoy a home-away-from-home type experience in a country that is otherwise a bit alienating. I strongly suggest Bull's Hostel and I'm a bit of a princess, so that's saying something.close

It was okay. It's just an apartment complex, but it had the essentials.

Staff don´t speak English, are lazy and were never around - had to ask them several times for toilet paper! People were smoking in the tiny kitchen when other people were eating and cooking! It was also extremely difficult to sleep at night as all you could hear (all night) was people on the street below. Not much atmosphere either.close

Unfortunately, while the owner is absent, staff doesnt work properly. No cleaning at all. Poor breakfast. However, when the owner was present, things became more reasonable. good location next to the metro!

Staff molto simpatico e gentile. L'ostello non è grande e comunque per il prezzo che si paga va anche bene. E' situato al centro... In definitiva lo consiglio, sempre sapendo che parlo di un hostel e che bisogna accontentarsi.... ;-)

If you like bugs of the crawling variety and the biting variety then this is the hostel for you. Also if you like having to get up to let people in because the only staff member goes out at 5am then this place would be great. Couldn't wait to get out of there. Should have gone to Cats.

It's a small but cozy hostel. I met some nice people over there. The only problem is that they don't have lockers in the rooms (just that small safe lockers). Also, sometimes you have to wait to use the bathroom (cause there are only 2). But I recommend it, anyway.
