About

#Ihatestandard

A journey does not begin at the gate, on the platform of the train or when you get into the car. It starts the moment you begin fantasizing about it. When you're obsessively looking at a point on the map, while you read as much as you can about a destination on the internet , consulting books, guides even chatting with other travelers or natives about that dreamed-of place, you're actually on your way.

If for whatever reason your way passes through Madrid, Bastardo is your destination. We aren't a hotel, we aren't a bar, we aren't a creating space. We are all of that and so much more. We avoid pureness. Bastardo is a meeting point for visitors and locals in the city centre, between Malasaa and Chueca. A cultural laboratory always opened to the latest trends. An ecosystem created for your enjoyment where you can enjoy a concert, a screening of an avant-garde film, watch an exhibition, chat while having a drink and seeing the rooftops of Madrid in the background, share a good meal with friends and, of course, stay. In short, Bastardo is a watchtower from which to conquer this chaotic, mestizo, vibrant and hospitable city. Own it, it's easy.

We know that no two trips are the same. That's why we have options that will adapt to any needs or budgets: private or shared rooms, for those who travel alone, for couples, for groups, for families, with or without a terrace. Always with an exquisite design and special care for small details. Patti Smith, Luis Buñuel, Divine, Emiliano Zapata, Marie Curie, Confucius, Frida Kalho... each of our rooms pays tribute to characters who have gone off the beaten path, pioneers who have had the audacity to think and live differently. Bastard attitude.

But enough introductions. We'll have time to get to know each other, right?

Welcome to Bastardo.

very clean and comfortable, large bathrooms + shower + free use soap. had an issue with my bed being double booked but the staff were fantastic and fixed it for me immediately. made friends with people from my dorm which was lovely, but the restaurant was very intimidating to make friends in (especially as most people there aren’t staying in the hostel). there are no common areas on each floor except the kitchen in the basement so i didn’t feel it was very social. great location though!!!

Place was overall pretty good. Rooms were big. I did have an issue with my mattress cover having mold on the bottom and having to be replaced but other than that I would recommend this hostel.

Great location. Own room and bath on 4th floor. Mercado close by attractions in walking distance. Shopping and food options great. Eddie at front desk was wonderful. But staff overall accommodating!
