The best hostel I ever stayed at anywhere in the world. They have really good and modern facilities overall, and they don't invent all sorts of weird charges for late arrivals, bed linen, and such. They even include in the price a towel. They have a good, cheap and super fast washing machine and dryer, good showers, good check-in, and a good breakfast. And the location is basically as central as Madrid allows.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

The rooms were spacious and clean and the beds were comfy, all facilities working perfectly. The hostel is in a great location all round and there’s a really welcoming atmosphere as they arrange lots of group activities and dinners so you feel settled in straight away.
