Great location, very close to main sights, the staff was helpful. There were a few things to be considered though -there is no breakfast, however they provide free coffee, milk and churros(you have to wash your dishes), but the kitchen is nice. Bring your own padlock(small one), otherwise you have to buy one for 3E. If your room is close to the elevator, it might get noisy. They cleaned the room every day, however the sheets and pillow case were not very clean. Definitely bring your own!

There are many people living in these hostel, so it's a little bit noisy.

Nice place. Could have more toilets, but so far it was ok. Probably it'll be hot during summer for windows are opening to the closed inner yard.

I lived on the third floor and there wasn't wifi coverage at all. The charging socket next to my bed was also broken.

Staff wasn't very welcoming, however they warmed up later in our stay. They rip you off with the lockers and make the lock holders so small that you have to buy their little locks for three euro - rip off. Location is pretty good but very touristy.

The rooms as Musas were open and comfortable. Furnished with Ikea items and real mattresses (a luxury at any hostel), the highlight of this hostel is the home-feel of the bedrooms. There was a large kitchen downstairs that guests were free to use, which was especially lovely after we were tired of going out for a meal every night. The only downside was the lack of community. Staff were friendly and cordial, but not as warm as other hostels. The common room didn't invite social interaction.

The staff was passionate and we enjoyed talking to them and listening to their detailed information., but the washroom could have been cleaner. The paella and pizza night was attractive.

I was pretty disappointed with las musas. It has zero atmosphere, was filled with school groups and doesn't appear to attract many backpackers or solo travellers. On the other side, the facilities were fine and the location is good for seeing Madrid by foot. Wouldn't recommend this place for solo travellers and those looking to meet people in a warm atmosphere. Suitable if you just want a bed in a big institution though.

Staff was super helpful with several unforeseen issues i had during my travels. People were friendly and overall it was a great experience. You also get a map and they will recommend stuff and help you find it. Great location don't buy the metro card you only need it to get to and from the airport or train station.

This place was pretty basic, great location and perfect if you´re not looking for anything fancy. The mattresses were really uncomfortable, you could feel the springs sticking into your back. The free walking tour was great. We changed our plans to book the daytrip to Toledo only to be told that it was no longer being run the day before, kind of annoying.

Great location near the centre of town with plenty of public transport, great place to meet people and experience Madrid, wifi only in public areas is a little rough if you're staying on the fourth floor as I was, showers are a bit rough. But overall, great place!

Good location, very helpful staff. It got a bit noisy at times, but my room (on the third floor) was far enough from the communal areas that the noise didn't disturb me too much. I had a single room and it was good value for money. I appreciated the free tea and churros in the mornings.

Nice hostel, with a great location; less than 10 minutes to get to Puerta del Sol by foot. Many bars around. Free internet access via wifi, also computer free of charge. When I was there, I didn't really like the atmosphere as there were too many large groups, so it was more like a club-med atmosphere.

Great location, close to the centre of town. Nice to have churros for breakfast, but other options might also be a good idea! Clean rooms, good beds, bathrooms and kitchen. Atmosphere was a bit lacking.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff was super friendly and the accommodations were nice. We stayed in the 8 bed mixed dorm and everything was nice. Just one bathroom for all of us, but it was never an issue. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. Lockers were decent size. We met awesome people there and had a really great time with them. Super friendly/young atmosphere.
