Liked: Provide breakfast. Good Location.

Disliked: Kitchen close at 10pm, need to pay 2 EUR/hour for using the desktop, we booked a 4 beds dorm and it turn out with 6 beds inside. On the check out day you are required to pay 5 EUR extra if you want to use the common area and kitchen.

Liked: Friendly atmosphere. Clean. Location is PERFECT! Middle of everything. Look out your window to historical madrid. Use opera metro stop.

Disliked: Room got hot at night which was weird because it was cold outside. Problem was solved by propping door. Puerto del sol is in the heart of madrid so the street noise is very loud. Do not forget ear plugs and a night masks (for the hostel mates who have varying sleep schedules). These problems are minor

Liked: The hostel has a A-location which is very close to Metro, restaurants, shops and many sightseeing sites.

I will stay here again if i am back.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

Liked: The hostel let us drop off our bags prior to our check in time, which was very convenient. It is also located right near the Opera metro station & the Puerta del Sol metro station, which makes it ideal for easy transportation to key sights in central Madrid. The staff were also very knowledgeable and helpful.

Disliked: There were no towels for drying off your hands in any of the bathrooms or in the kitchen. But otherwise, the hostel was excellent.

Liked: The location was excellent.

Disliked: The staff didn't really seem to care about recommendations or problems, and in fact didn't actually know much about Madrid. Am pretty sure we found about more about Madrid in three days than the staff who work there know. The common area is very small. Breakfast is average.
