Reviews of Cat's Hostel

27 December 2009

Liked: It is freezing cold in winter,especially at night and in the big dorm, there is only one socket, the subjacent bed of two-double ones are too low to allow you sit still. The place for shower and washing rooms are so narrow and which is open to air, so it was too cold to take a shower and after your washing and brushing with the cold water, it's easy to catch a cold. I met 3 people who got cold there. The very little breakfast even cannot satisfy a girl with small appetite.

Liked: pros: hot showers, breaky's quite good, beautiful building, good location.cons: hostel is rather institutional, staff aren't overly friendly and building is airtight (consequently smells like a full dorm the morning after), there's no natural light.

Liked: Pretty average place, good location though. Dark haired pretty receptionist might just be the rudest and shortest person I've met. She actually lied about not having change, trying to make me and a random guest figure out how to break a twenty for the 10 euro deposit she owed us both. After our gripe she rudely slapped two 10s on the table. Night guy with long hair and girl with short hair were nice.

Liked: This is an EXCELLENT hostel! I strongly suggest going down the street to Calle de la Cabeza. Just down from Mad Hostel there is a little pizzeria. The pizza is AMAZING and a bottle of wine is cheap. It was my favourite meal while in Madrid. The hostel is also very close to Del Sol. Great staff, awesome lobby to hang out in, and hot showers!!!! ENJOY!!!!!

03 November 2009 Gonçalo would recommend this property

Liked: Location is perfect! Its located in the heart of Madrid, near the Atocha Station and Madrid night hotspots!I loved the "moorish" arquitecture of the hostel. It is a perfect spot to meet new and nice people. I wish i had a longer stay in Hostel Cats!

08 October 2009 Sarah would recommend this property

Liked: The hostel building is an old palace with a fantastic interior courtyard, beautiful tiles, stained glass. Many people talk about the great bar in the basement, but really the interior courtyard is the best place to hang out, no smoking, quiet and so beautiful.

Liked: Cat's Hostel is a good, safe, and clean hostel and its location is perfect, only 10 min. walk from the Plaza Mayor, The Reina Sofia museum and the eat streets in the neighbourhood La Latina. In October was teh hostel bar not so excited as we expected, but probably it's much better in the summer. The showers were warm en clean. Recommended!

07 October 2009

Liked: *BEWARE* Do not be fooled by the pretty pictures, the staff at this hostel are DISHONEST and rude and the accommodation is UNSANITARY. I was conned out of my key deposit despite not being told by anyone upon what grounds it would be denied - effectively having to pay double board for really crummy accommodation. The beds are rock hard and plastic-lined. The 'free' breakfast would be turned down by a homeless person and the staff are rude, avasive and the manager is conveniently NEVER around. I would NOT recommend staying here under any circumstances. There are a number of far better, cheaper, friendlier places to stay within walking distance from this hovel.

Liked: This hostel seems to be geared more towards the people who want to go out and enjoy the night life--it was a little bit loud at night. The breakfast was pretty meager, but the bar was quite nice.

24 September 2009 Jessica would recommend this property

Liked: Everything is great but the cleanliness but that has to do a lot indivudually not so much the hostel... people need to just clean after themselves lol This hostel is for people that dont care about smelling like smoke or having people walk in and out of the room... we didnt :)

24 September 2009 Brett would recommend this property

Liked: This Hostel was very nice and really close to Madrids touristy hotspots. The staff were helpful when we needed advice or services and unlike many places in Madrid they didn't want to con you out any money they could. Even though our visit was just out of the season we did meet some lovely people in the bar and the beer was very good value compared to the rest of Madrid!!!! Would definitely stay again on another trip to Madrid. :)

21 September 2009

Liked: Staff were really unhelpful - to the point of downright rudeness. The atmosphere felt all wrong - I never felt really comfortable here, despite meeting some lovely people. The showers are push button, and all spray hot water for differing amounts of time. No keys/swipe cards, but a bracelet swiper, which is notoriously unreliable, as is the directions on how to open the room doors. It all depends on the weather/mood of the door as to whether it opens! Not expensive,which is bonus in a capital city, but not an overly enjoyable place to spend your time in Madrid.
