The reception girl was nasty. She rudely insisted that the first door on the right is to my room but, in fact, it\'s to the luggage room. She yanked open the door, then made this big wave of her hand and again repeats, \"I said the first door to the right.\" IT\'S NOT! The courtyard is absolutely beautiful and full of details. The location is great. My favorite place to eat was down Calle Atocha, right at the train station at \"Museum del Jamon.\" I went there for almost every meal. Bathrooms are pr

I stayed in the attic 18 person dorm & the air-conditioner NEVER went on and it was super hot up there. Only internet is downstairs best connection is in the bar! Showers are horrible there is no where to get changed in private and all your clothes etc get wet as there's no where to put them, also its a push button water system and the water only stays on for 30secs if that!!

Cats was really good and the social activities all very fun. I stayed in an attic room (19 people) and there was only one power point and the wifi didn\'t reach the room. Otherwise everything was great.

We spent 3 nights at Cat´s and every night had a problem with shower water, first freezing cold and then burning hot. Noise get´s relatively high before midnight and it might bother if you are having and early morning. Breakfast was nice and otherwise Cat´s was an OK place to stay for a short period of time.

(-) No warm water in the shower. One can\'t control the temperature. The breakfast was good but when there are warm beverages, there shouldn\'t be only plastic cups! Plastic melts when you put something hot inside and it\'s bad for the health. (+) Friendly & helpful multilingual staff. Location Fast internet connection (only in the common room, not in the dormitories)

Clean rooms, well located, however we weere waiting one hour to check in and we were told it was due to a change over in staff. Have NEVER experienced this level of poor service in any hotel or hostel that I've stayed in.

Beds were uncomfortable. The heat in some commum areas were turned off. The shower was cold. And maybe some individual lights in the bedroom would be better to avoid discussions with the roommates. the wifi internet was bad. It only had signal in some isolated spots. we couldnt drink anything that was not achieved in the bar. there was no kitchen for basic food prepare.
