The room was tiny. More like a closet. Not even a trash can. One tub for about 20 rooms. Room smelled terrible from cigarette smoke.

THIS IS MY FIRST TIME AT A HOSTEL. I had a lovely 10 nights. The room is decent and for the price you can’t beat it. Make sure to ask in advance for a room with a balcony, they are for the most part first come first serve. Thank you to the host for letting me relax in the lobby area while I waited for my room. Overall it’s clean, no thin walls, and in a great area that’s close to downtown. The only downside is the noise outside. If you can sleep with a busy night life outside then you’ll be just fine. Thank you again!

If you want to stay cheap, it’s perfect but very noisy area night bathrooms are separate to rooms and toilet. Very noisy people used them all night, the reception man and the cleaner lady very good, looked after everything for us had to change room, as had leak in the night from the roof and the cleaning lady sorted out everything and changed our room straightaway with no complaints, very apologetic.

Barebones hostel, having a private room is really nice if you don’t want to share a room with 11 strangers. However, our check-in experience was a nightmare, as a neighbor had to contact the property owner to let me in as I was not given the code after checking in online. Furthermore the room’s floor tiles were not properly cemented to the ground. All of this being said, the neighborhood was great and not tourists-y and the front desk worker when she was there was very helpful and spoke great English.

for 3 consecutive nights the lock on the room's door with code did not work, despite promises it would be repaired. We had to call a nr and after quite some attempts the door was unlocked from distance

The Hostel doesn't really have any signage, so locating it can be tricky. The Area to the left (as you face the entrance) is quite sketchy, drug taking, gang-like behaviour (we even witnessed a fight). So take care when leaving the building. I was in Room 316 - A previous review stated the tiled floor was broken back in May, it's still not fixed as of June 14/17. Rooms are ok, very little means of keeping cool (no fan or A/C. One of the Toilets was out of order and vending machine in the communal area was seemingly broken. Walls are quite thin so you can hear most of what's going on in other rooms. I chose this as a cheap and cheerful option for a short break in Madrid and I wouldn't recommend anyone book this unless they were really desperate. It's tired, there's nobody on site most of the time and at night it's quite sketchy if you're on your own.

Péssima escolha
Felizmente foi para passar apenas uma noite, pois o quarto não tinha janela, só fui informado que não haveria toalhas quando passaram as informações sobre a entrada ao local (se quisesse teria que pagar $5,00), banheiro com máquina de papel higiênico que não funcionava adequadamente, não tinha cobertor.
