Liked: Good location.
Disliked: Beds were too small for most males (especially bottom bunk). Breakfast was inadequate and serving staff were quite rude and uncharismatic. Would have appreciate more tips and travel advice regarding Madrid/ Spain. Kitchen was very small given the number of guests at the hostel. Only 2 hot plates and no oven so resorted to making meals which didn't require cooking (as were many other guests).

Liked: The location was right near two metro stops so it was easy to get places and the staff was very kind.
Disliked: The watches you have to wear as your room keys never worked for us and were very irritating to use. The showers would not stay on for more than 45 seconds without you having to turn them back on again. Also, the beds had hair in them and were extremely tiny and without much room in between them. There were no mirrors or dressers or space in any of the rooms.

Liked: It is a really nice and cheap hostel in the center of Madrid. The common room is great, it has a billiard table, free internet, wifi and you can meet the other travellers, , also the free breakfast was nice. Afterall we got what we expected and the value for the money is good.
Disliked: The room we stayed in was really small, but just for one night we didn't mind, therefore I would rather recommend this place for travellers staying just a few nights.

Liked: good location, internet and breakfast (although it wasn`t that good)
Disliked: the showers are terrible; specially if you go during winter. no heating on it, no shelfs to put your things, and the worst thing is that you have to go out naked to pick up your towel (unless you don`t care it gets really really wet). the rooms was very cold. little things to improve, but i have been in better hostels in madrid.

Liked: The staff was very helpful after locking myself out of my room TWICE, the atmosphere is great, it's really close to Puerta del Sol, which is pretty much the heart of Madrid, also met some really great people.
Disliked: It's hard to find, nobody's really heard of the street that it is on, so you must be either really good with a map or remembering land-marks.
