Outstanding little gem of a hostel right next to El Matadero Cultural Center, Plaza Rio 2, and Manzanares River. Very comfortable and clean accomodations, they have a fully equipped kitchens and a lounging zone. The best, though, is the costumer sevice which is at a level of ***. Highly recommended.

Muy buen precio para la calidad/ good service

Very good service. Staff is friendly and fast at resolving any issues. Water runs hot, kitchen available. Beds can be a little close together so maybe bring earplugs!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Overall an affordable and acceptable option for lodging if you're trying to keep a low budget. Read a lot about the air mattress, I found them to be fairly comfortable. People in the rooms were mindful and kept noise down to a minimum, the staff I interacted with were friendly and nice. One thing which was misleading was that they have individual rooms, 4, 6 and more beds per room, they actually don't, they have over 8 bunk beds in each room, but I think that this is an error on Expedia's end. I didn't have any issues with my stay there, it was affordable and served it's purpose. I would stay there again.

About 1 km from metro. Mall and river park in area. Staff is not multilingual, metal bunk beds with leaky air mattresses! no locker, no individual lights. No privacy curtain for bed. No real usable indoor / gathering space. Small kitchen, one bar for eating, cushions on floor for sitting.

Hébergement à Madrid

Hébergement génial, très propre et confortable. Je suis reste 4 nuits en voyage solo. La réception exceptionnel, toujours a l'écoute meme quant j'ai demandé la clima. Ils essayenet de faire une chambre femmes et aun autres gars s'il y a la place. Je suis reste chez le gars mais impeccable, aucun soucis, tjs tres propre. Ah, ils peuvent te louer un antivol ( padlock) pour le placar et une serviette aussi. Pour le repas t'as une petit cuisine et un frigo où les gens laissent ses affaires avec un nom ecrit dessus, tres utile. Et concernant a la distance au centrz ville, il est tres accessible avec un bus qui est juste a côté et l'autre a 7-10min de marche mais sympa car tu traverse un parc et tu sens pas le temps de marche.
