Outstanding little gem of a hostel right next to El Matadero Cultural Center, Plaza Rio 2, and Manzanares River. Very comfortable and clean accomodations, they have a fully equipped kitchens and a lounging zone. The best, though, is the costumer sevice which is at a level of ***. Highly recommended.

Ramiro

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Overall an affordable and acceptable option for lodging if you're trying to keep a low budget. Read a lot about the air mattress, I found them to be fairly comfortable. People in the rooms were mindful and kept noise down to a minimum, the staff I interacted with were friendly and nice. One thing which was misleading was that they have individual rooms, 4, 6 and more beds per room, they actually don't, they have over 8 bunk beds in each room, but I think that this is an error on Expedia's end. I didn't have any issues with my stay there, it was affordable and served it's purpose. I would stay there again.

About 1 km from metro. Mall and river park in area. Staff is not multilingual, metal bunk beds with leaky air mattresses! no locker, no individual lights. No privacy curtain for bed. No real usable indoor / gathering space. Small kitchen, one bar for eating, cushions on floor for sitting.
