Madrid Hostels

This was my second stay at this hostel and it's still amazing. One of the best hostels I have stayed at in Europe. It is well located - right off the Mayor Plaza. Close to bus routes and not too far from the subway. The hostel staff are super friendly and always available - 24hr front desk. They are hapy to have a chat with you and make recommendations and give advice - or just sing along to whatever is playing from the bar. They weresuper gracious and helped to arrange my friends and I in the same room - even though we all had individual bookings. The rooftop is excellent. We spent several siesta's up there; reading and chatting and having a drink. Just note that the rooftop bar is a public space and at times sections of it are booked for events. But otherwise the view of the rooftops and the church dome are worth it. The rooms are spacious enough, as is the private bathroom. There are additional bathrooms on each floor - gendered. The bunk ladders are a little steep on the steps - my shorter friend struggled getting up to her bunk - we had to use the foot stool to assist. But the ability to have two people using the bathroom in the room at a time made for easy use - especially with only 6 people in our dorm. The free margarita making each night from 9pm and the bar crawl are worth checking out. My friend also also did the walking tour - and said she found it super informative and. chill. Lots of food recommendations and the group all grabbed lunch together after the tour.

Very great hostel! Super clean rooms, friendly staff, and amazing vibes. Perfect for budget travelers—I'll definitely come here again!

The hostel was very clean, the front desk staff were friendly and helpful, and the location was great. I really enjoyed my stay!

Dorms were very clean, with staff coming in to strip beds immediately at 11 am. Bathrooms got a little dirty in the evenings because of use since they were cleaned in the middle of the day, but overall very clean hostel experience!! Staff was very helpful and friendly!!

We have great stay at Hostal Madrid Atocha. The reception staff are very accomodating with our needs. Great location.

I stayed in a mixed 12-bed dorm. The temperature was good, the Wi-Fi was fast, and the beds were comfortable. If you're over 1.90 meters tall, it's a bit of a hassle. The bathrooms are integrated into the rooms, so the light is on all day and night, and since there's no way to separate the spaces, you can hear everything. They do provide shower gel, though, and a rather small towel. There were suspicious stains on my shower curtain... The location is unbeatable.

A surprisingly nice experience. I stayed in a mixed room for 8. Everyone was quiet and neat. The bathroom and toilet is very clean. The staff Arecia was very friendly. I’d stay again.

The hostel is accessible through bus and metro. For female travellers, the female dorms are at the same level and very convenient with toilets and showers. The room is very clean.

To check in, you need to contact them via WhatsApp at the entrance. The staff responsible for check-ins weren't very responsive, and I had to wait 5-10 minutes, even making a call to them. However, another staff member, an uncle who manages the hostel, was incredibly warm and genuine. I forgot my locker code twice and he kindly reset it for me. The biggest downside was definitely the room, mainly due to a strong odor. Some guests' body odor was so overwhelming and the ventilation wasn't good, which severely impacted the living experience. I couldn't sleep at all that night, partly because of the pervasive snoring from many guests. The continuous snoring led me to pack my bags and leave at around 3 AM. Overall, the facilities were fine, and the downtown location is excellent, but the room smell was just too much.

There were no proper ventilation for the room with 12 people in such tiny space. At night at each 20 minutes someone entered and put the lights on with shouting, gossiping and disturbing without caring for the persons who were sleeping. On person continuously continued talking over the phone for 3 hours until 3 pm at a go. Another person snored in such a way that it was impossible to sleep at all. It also seems that some people keeps their belonging in the room who does not belong there as border. I had a fligh at the early morning and i got lost for the whole nigh. Found no one to complain and they do not care even.
