7.9Verified guest“The owner was very nice and helpful. The room I was given had a balcony, which was perfect for me as a smoker. It was clean and cozy, and the bathroom down the hall was always available when I needed it. The location was fantastic, just a few meters from the metro station. There were supermarkets nearby, including a Lidl and a local one right across from the entrance of the hostel. The Wi-Fi connectivity was excellent, allowing me to watch movies online without any problems. When I left, I could easily walk to Atocha station in just 20 minutes. Cons: Everything was great!”
7.9Verified guest“The setting is excellent, close to the city center, Plaza Mayor, and the three main Madrid art galleries. The rooms are spotlessly clean and fairly quiet with a balcony so guests have essentials. The staff are affable and helpful.”
