One of the best hostel experiences I’ve had. The restaurant , the area, the people all made it happen. They have events and meetups for guest! It was a clean and tidy room, I stayed there twice and for over a 10 day stretch! The staff were friendly and helpful. Also everyone was there.. I saw families, singles , big groups , small groups LGBT friendly, great networking and space to telework.

Great clean room centrally located

Penthouse room was great for a group of friends. Only one bathroom, though, and no door on the shower. Get to the breakfast at the hostel if you can - it was excellent. Centrally located. Can walk to major sites. Subway stop about 2-3 blocks away.

This was the cleanest hostel that we were really impressed by. We are a family of 5- 2 adult & 3 kids, so we decided to book their 6 bed room. The room was basic but clean. The staff/ guest services was exceptional. They have 24 hr front desk which was very helpful. They answered our questions patiently. The look of this property is very trendy and has a good vibe. We also got their help to book a taxi back to the airport and it was very convenient. Overall had nice experience at this hostel.

This property was a great value for our family of five. The room is pretty much no frills with three sets of solid bunk beds with very comfortable mattresses. Exactly what we were looking for! The location is quiet and the blackout curtains on each bunk made for great sleep. The breakfast buffet was better than expected with multiple fresh options. All of the areas we visited in Madrid were within walking distance of the hostel. Lastly, the staff was friendly, helpful and accommodating. Will definitely keep this company in mind when visiting other cities as they do have other locations.

Highly recommend. Great location, clean and modern

Location was really good. I walked everywhere. The hostel was very modern and clean, almost felt more like a hotel. Having the cityplaza resto right across was very convenient for a bite and a drink. A few cons…had to pay to store my luggage. Every other place I’ve been to does it for free. No hair dryer in the room, had to ask at the front desk and the hair dryer stopped working after 2mins. The communal dinner doesn’t really seem to be a thing. The people at the city plaza didn’t even know what I was talking about when I mentioned it. But overall, I would still highly recommend

Okay, so I have stayed in a few Hostels and this one was very upscale for me. I like that there was every age and culture staying in the place. I used the 6 bed private bath for my first stay and it was only used by me and one other person, so it almost felt private. The beds are comfortable, the bar and lounging area downstairs are very nicely done and lovely. They have a Dj on certain nights and days. The breakfast was good for what you pay, but the pizza is amazing! Staff are friendly and helpful. They have so many social functions every week, meetups, and workout sessions that it felt like a resort. It has been interesting staying with other people like in college or high school, but if you are social it is a welcome change. You need to rent a towel and they have reliable WiFi! I’ve decided to stay again for a week because it was centrally located and well priced. Most of the highlights of the city are walking distance or by easy metro subway system!
