It was a quick stay for 1 night only between my trip from Seville and Valencia but as far I could see the hostel looks nice and the staff is friendly. Good ambient and installations. Stayed in a mixed room and the bathroom and shower is much better than the other hostel I stayed in Madrid before, not far from this one. There’s a separation for people put their toiletries which I think it’s really important, as most hostels are disorganised and lack privacy unfortunately.

One of the best hostel experiences I’ve had. The restaurant , the area, the people all made it happen. They have events and meetups for guest! It was a clean and tidy room, I stayed there twice and for over a 10 day stretch! The staff were friendly and helpful. Also everyone was there.. I saw families, singles , big groups , small groups LGBT friendly, great networking and space to telework.
