Okay place run by an old cuban man. You're not allowed to take a shower after midnight.

The hostel owner was rude, and charged Euros for everything. Whether it was storing your bag or locking your things, or simply a cup of coffee (to go along with the zero breakfast offered). I found the owner self centered, and unwelcoming to the point of discomfort.

For the price, it was a very good deal. While the area/street was a little concerning, it was within a minutes to Gran Via (therefore the rest of the city center) so it wasn't a problem. The staff was incredibly nice and helpful especially the manager with any questions and/or concerns. I can definitely see myself staying there again.

Location is great, just a few minutes walk from Gran Via and Tribunal metro stations. However street is a bit sketchy when walking back at night. Room in itself was fine, but walls are so incredibly thin that every word is heard from every room - a bit frustrating at night.

Muy buena ubicación, buen precio y excelente atención. La calle es un poco ruidosa y es poco difícil descansar en los dormitorios.

They should change the mattresses, they are very ancient and bad, and the bed clothes.

Very affordable, very well located, very friendly staff, it's a pity there is no common room or meal room to get to know other guests

Very central location but also very noisy. In my opinion too many beds on too less space in the room. Staff very helpful, even if not necessarily happy with being that...

This hostel goes to the list of the worst places I have been in. The staff is the most unfriendly I have ever met. They put many beds as they can in a room, so you have to put all your things on your bed - no space left in the floor. Security? There's only a security box where you could put your wallet, if it's not so big. Location? near the center, but so noisy that I could not sleep. Internet? The man in the reception was so unfriendly I was afraid to ask for it...

Not too far from city centre. Big spacious rooms, but beds are a little creaky.

I have definetly been to better hostels. The hostel was in some redlight district, i did not feel safe going back at night. The two showers were not enough for all the people and the room was too small for four beds beside each other (bunkbeds would be better). also the situation of actually being in the appartment of a familiy who is living there was a bit weird. plus there was no kitchen.
