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.

Hostel not very clean, staff nice whilst you were there, but when I forgot a towel, after checking out and they did not find it, just hours after I had left, I started having second thoughts about their real professionalism and friendliness. I would not recommend this hostel.

Loved this place! The staff was very welcoming, the restaurant Limbo was good and very popular in the earlier evening but the party never went late. The location is very close to the metro so getting around was easy and the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. It felt safe as a traveling woman. I would happily stay here again if I come back to Madrid. Also, the AC in the room was great and water pressure and temp where A++
