Hostel's location is phenomenal, right in the city centre with metro, bars, restauants and top sightseeing spots nearby. Staff is great, helpful and friendly, give you any information you need.

The mattress on the bed was too soft.

The staff were helpful and the location was excellent.

The street underneath is noisy until the early hours so if you're a light sleeper with a room that opens onto it, it could be difficult

Great location with very friendly staff and a nice terrace to relax on.

There was no elevator in the hostel building. You may have to walk up to the second floor to get to the hostel. As for the bed, I took the lower bunk but the space between the lower bunk and the upper bunk was so small that I could not sit up straight if I sit on my bed. The room was relatively small. It was a little stuffy at night as my roommates decided to close the window / balcony door tightly to keep out the noise from the street outside. The street outside is a restaurant street, the restaurants in which do not close until 00:00 to 02:00am.

The location is excellent. You can take the train from the airport to get to Sol station where you can take the escalator up to the street level (choosing the Puerta De Sol Exit). It takes only a 5 to 8 minute walk from the exit to the hostel. The staff are generally quite nice and helpful but sometimes they don't know much about the shows on the flyers displayed in their hostel. The kitchen and common area attached to it closes at 00:00. It seems there's another common area in the other side of the hostel which may not have a closing time (not sure). Perhaps you can tidy up your belongings there if you are worried about waking up your roommates. There is a nice terrace (with tables and chairs) outside the kitchen, which is quite nice. A cat greeted me when I set foot in the terrace, perhaps a cat that roamed the neighbourhood.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The location was perfect. The room was clean and tidy. The hostel is a very nice hostel and great value for money. I would recommend it and if I return to Madrid I would definitely use the hostel again.

Could have outlets in all the beds. Other than this, nothing to complain

Everything was great! The staff was super nice and helpful. The location is amazing, very close to a metro station and a lot of important places are within walking distance. The room was clean and spacious and the bathrooms were clean with a good shower. Common areas were also very comfy and nice :)

They put me in the upper floor so not in the main hostel. It didn't feel as a hostel at all.

Location is excellent. The reason to book here.

Locker keys are not available, If they provide a proper locker system as well, then I would rate the hostel 10/10.

Bed, Staff, Bathroom and the location

Stayed in November 2023

Reception stayed longer open coz our flight arrived late. Normally closes (for check-in) at midnight. Location is in busy tourist area which is open until late - and noisy, which I don't care about. Restaurants and bars on all sides. Barbieri is on 2nd floor and has a terrace. Kitchen has microwave, however the gas stove was out of service (maybe safer?).

Stayed in October 2023

The room we were in is a bit cold. They turn on the heating from 8pm and turns off at 8am. I struggled with insufficient heating in the room.

The location is central. Easy access to all attractions. Clean facilities and friendly staff.

A little bit of greater care for the room would be easy and cheap to do and would add greatly add to the experience. As it is, it looks rather like a prison cell. All that is needed is re-painting it, a picture or two on the walls, hooks in sensible places, a table and lamp by one of the beds (one bed had these, the other didn't). The room had a metal cabinet of 3 lockable shelves which was ugly - like a filing cabinet. Replacing this with some nice plain wooden shelves and just one lockable unit would make it so much nicer (why would a twin room need 3 lockable shelves?!). The bathroom was seriously tiny but the shower was good; a hook for the shower instead of having to hold it would make alot of difference.

Location is perfect. The cost of a very plain twin room with a tiny bathroom was okay for the location but what made this a good price was the lovely terrace. So you could get a similar deal elsewhere, with a more inviting room, but without the terrace. I prefer to have some outside space and this definitely made up for the very modest room. The place was clean and the room was also cleaned every day. Most of the staff were very friendly and approachable.
