It is a hostel. With that in mind, the staff is exellent and cater to your needs with the resources available. The location is phenomenal. They have a convenient breakfast buffet, but if you like the local food, you will do better in quality and price looking around the property.

4 stars. Convenient location, really nice rooftop view and bar area. Cons: Not huge issues but fyi - pretty full of young travel groups - so common areas were loud/busy during the day, great for groups. No soap in bathroom shower area, $6 towel rental (normal but just fyi). Sink, shower/bathroom is in bedroom area for some noise at night. Stayed here 1 day, stayed in another for 5 - I preferred another hostel in Madrid

Very modern hotel, in the heart of Madrid close to all the attractions. While I knew we were reserving a Hostel, I had not anticipated so many young people. Being in our later years this was a little overwhelming. People everywhere chattering, laughing and having a good time- but too much for us - would have preferred a more relaxing experience.
