05 January 2012 Tim would recommend this property

Liked: The rooms were very clean and it was not very loud.

Disliked: The hostel was very uninteresting and far from the city. It takes a minimum of one hour to arrive to it by public transportation.

02 January 2012

Liked: The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. The dorms, bathrooms and common areas were always very clean.

Disliked: The distance from 'real Madrid' was too far: 20 minute walk plus a 30 minute metro ride. The breakfast bought from the hostel were snacks and packaged rolls. it was cheaper and better to buy breakfast directly from their partner restaurant. The hostel had no character, no parks or attractions near-by and nothing to help a solo traveler meet other people staying at the hostel. The allegedly free Wi-Fi in the lobby never worked and the Wi-Fi for pay in the rooms worked only half the time.

Liked: It's difficult to say what I liked...

Disliked: Everything: -place: in the end of the world close to the desert and nothing else - people: it was full of people from the third world as arabs, africans, etc. - room: it was so hot that I couldn't sleep - bathroom: there was a bathroom for women separately, but without any doors in baths and any privacy I really don't recomend it if you are a young backbacker willing to visit Madrid

27 May 2011

Liked: The hostel was very clean and the staff were very friendly.

Disliked: The hostel is not well located - it is on the edge of the city in the industrial district and it is quite a walk to both the bus stops & metro tubes to get into town. There is no view what so ever - just industrial buildings and dry ground. The €2.90 breakfast was not worth it - you got a small ham & cheese roll & a drink, better to go to a cafe. The dinner was €8 and while the quantity was large it was all cold (even the fish fingers). There is no nightlife around you'd have to go into town. On Sunday everything shut very early so it was a hassle getting dinner

02 May 2011 Alicia would recommend this property

Liked: The bedrooms were extremely clean, spacious and comfortable. I liked the fact that there were no bunk beds but nice regular beds and lockers in my room. The entire hostel is well decorated and very clean. The staff is also really nice. Even though the hostel is located outside of the city centre, it is easily connected to the city via a bus which drops you off at the metro station.

Disliked: The only disappointment was the bathrooms which I found to be a little run down. I aldo didn´t like the fact that there were no doors or storage areas in the showers. There's only a curtain and you have to place your belongings on hooks outside of the curtain. This makes changing in privacy a real challenge. I did not like this at all!
