Nice location, not too far from the station. Hostel itself is clean, nice rooms as well. Only negative is the fact I was on the ground floor right next to the seating area so you could hear everyone and it’s not pleasant at 1am when there’s a big group just laughing away non stop. You can also hear everyone getting ready for breakfast and just chatting away as which is frustrating and breaks your sleep.

On Tuesday, I think, two unbearable guests arrived! They made noise at night and didn't respect anyone. Two idiots! Noisy. The sink water was freezing cold! There was no soap to wash our hands. The shower didn't work properly. In short…it wasn't 100%.

Laura

Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Area is ok for a short stay, but I would choose elsewhere as a base to actually explore Madrid. However it is very convenient to the Principe Pio train station/metro, which is why I chose it. The entrance is a little odd - check in is downstairs at the bar & the self check in machines weren't working. I slept well here, not too noisy & the beds are comfortable. The cleanliness leaves something to be desired though- while the sheets looked ok, my curtain had what appeared to be blood stains & there was a peice of used chewing gum on the shelf. As other reviews mentioned, the shower leaking onto the floor is still an issue, but there's a mop to clean up. There is also nowhere private to change after showering unless you go back into the wet shower (I was in an all female dorm thankfully!). Overall I'd still stay there again if needed for my travels though.

Great for the price. Location is perfect

For the price it was great. The only draw back is that the bedrooms did not have windows so waking up naturally was not easy. The location was amazing.
