“ A nice and quiet place to stay while in Madrid. We were lucky and got a room with a private bathroom. Not a place to meet people, though. The location could not be better! ”

“ Great Location! It really did feel like staying with a spanish family as there was no one else at the hostel it seemed. The kitchen is shared with the family so at times it feels like you are pushing them out in order to cook your dinner. Comfortable beds and affordable! ”
