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.

Come in without knocking.

I only stayed one night but it will now be my mainstay when I need a hostel in Madrid. Location very central with easy access via the underground to the train station. All facilities and a good communal vibe. Next time il stay longer so I can write more.

Finally a hostel for adults! Really creative design and great atmosphere that combines a warm social vibe with a mature and unique twist. The designs of the shared rooms are thoughtful so you have more privacy and they are cleaned and maintained regularly. If you’re into events and socializing, all of that is available too as well as a beautiful rooftop to hang or get some work done!

I only stayed here overnight for under 24 hours and I was really upset because of how cool it looked. Wish I could’ve stayed longer and experienced the events!
