Bring your own toiletries. Don't expect a lot (it's really cheap so, go figure). Location wise, it was well located as I have to catch the train at Chamartin.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Dirty Bathroom, jammed up over crowded rooms. Lockers busted can’t get assistance from staff. The hostile was more for homeless and drug addicts. I ended up leaving and staying at a hotel up the street. And when you did find a staff member, they acted like you were bothering them. It was terrible. I managed to get out safely. Everything was fine after that.

Español El personal fue siempre muy amable, pero mi experiencia no fue positiva. Me asignaron una habitación mixta de 16 camas en la que era la única mujer. Los camarotes estaban demasiado juntos, sin separadores ni cortinas, y no había un lugar seguro para dejar el equipaje, solo en la recepción en un piso diferente. Llegué de noche y no tuve opción de cambiar de lugar, pero no me sentí segura. English The staff was very kind and helpful, but my overall experience was not positive. I was assigned to a 16-bed mixed dorm where I was the only woman. The bunks were extremely close together, with no dividers or curtains, and there was no secure place to store luggage other than the reception on a different floor. I arrived late at night and couldn’t change hostels, but I didn’t feel safe.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I was supposed to stay here for 9 nights, but I left first thing in the morning after the first night and went to a hotel. The beds were actually air mattresses with one small blanket, and there were no lockers or anywhere to put your belongings except in the room, where they got in the way of others or could be stolen. Between people screaming their heads off in the middle of the night and pushing others, the broken shower, and the disgusting toilets, I would recommend sleeping on the street over this place. I felt so unsafe that I broke out in stress hives for the next several days.
