The amenities were great such as the communal kitchen and on Tuesdays and Sundays they offer free dinner with a purchase of any drink at their bar which was lively every night. I ordered a Fanta and got a plate of pesto pasta, which was glorious because I had just came into the city and was super tired and didn't feel like searching the area for food. . I stayed in a 12 bed female dorm. There were trunks underneath the bed for storage that you could put a combination or padlock on, and the bed itself had a nightlight, USB charging ports and little net storage pocket for essentials. Like most hostels in Europe, most of them double up as hotels so for a premium price you can also have your own room. . It is centrally located with plenty of bars, restaurants, gift shops, and tobacco stores nearby. The closest Metro station is less than a 10 minute walk (either Sol or Gran Via). . For two nights, we paid €40 so definitely ideal if you are on a budget. They take a €10 deposit for each room key, which is returned to you within 24 hours of checking out ON TIME. If you check out late, they keep the deposit for your room key. The bathrooms were mostly clean, but a few of the sinks didn't have hot water and in the dead of winter that could be really detrimental on the hands. The best time to catch the bathrooms is early morning. I would say before 8 AM when they've just been cleaned. One con about this place is they charge €6 to rent towels and they sell basic essentials, such as soap, shampoo, etc. Every other hostel I stayed in Europe offers towels and toiletries free of charge. . Nonetheless, CATS was cool. They served their purpose and if you wanna be in the heart of the city without city prices, it's a great place to stay.

Stayed here for a short layover in Madrid. We each paid around $24 for a bed in a 6-person all…read morefemale dorm. The bottom bunks were all taken so we had to make do with top bunks, which makes it hard to get ready for bed and for checking out, especially if bunk mates are still sleeping. I'm not used to staying in hostels, honestly, so I'm always extra careful to tiptoe around. My sister didn't give a poop, as she said that, it's a hostel and our fellow travelers should expect others making a ruckus. What really rubbed me the wrong way were a few things: first, we weren't alerted to a 10 euro per person deposit for the key/bedsheets/and I forgot whatever else. That was a lot of Euro we could have spent that was instead held hostage. Also, I booked through trip advisor and the front desk kept insisting I provide a voucher. We had this back and forth for awhile, and I even showed her my online bank statement proving that I paid my reservation in full, but she kept insisting I owed a balance. It wasn't resolved by the time we got our bedsheets; they just kept a copy of my confirmation email. My sister booked directly with the hostel and they didn't even give her a confirmation email. She had to email them again to verify her reservation. Our floor smelled like fruit snacks. In the bathroom, it smelled like fruit snacks trying to cover up a musty foul smell. Other than that, super clean and modern rooms, sitting rooms, and facilities--even the shower. Unfortunately some princess had explosive diarrhea and left the poor cleaning people to deal with it. Personally, if I had diarrhea that covered all of the back of the toilet, I would at least make some attempt to wash it down as best as I could. That's sober me speaking, though. Still. No excuses. That was hella rude to poo all over the toilet like that.

Will stay here again! My suggestion is to do the pup crawl if you are traveling alone and want to meet other travelers. Free sangria at the hostel before heading out to pub crawl. Crawl itself was 12 euros which includes shots in each bar and all you can drink on two of the bars. Que viva Espana!

The check in was easy and quick. We got a double room with a window. It was all in all a breezy process. The room was comfortable and the ac worked great. All in all a great experience. There were only two negatives. The pillows were like rocks. It was actually really funny when we picked them up for the first time we started throwing them at each other like bags of rice. It was unbelievable how heavy they were. They probably used those pillows to stone witches during the inquisition. We had the room next to the elevator and it was a bit noisy at night when people were checking in. Some lady with high heels kept pacing in front of our door. But hey thats not the hostals fault. I would definitely stay there a second time, even with their cement pillows.

The location is extremely convenient, about a block or so from Gran Via and a 10 to 15 walk from most anywhere you want to go. And if you can't walk there, there are metro stops a block or two away. The little alley way where the hotel actually sits is slightly sketchy, with at least a few prostitutes hanging around whenever you walk by. This wasn't a problem for us, but it might be for you. But I definitely wouldn't call it anywhere near a bad neighborhood. There are even a couple of very cool bars within stumbling distance. We showed up at about 1030am right after a long flight from the United States. We hoped they'd have a room available for us that early and they absolutely did. The room was very clean and nicely decorated. All the rooms in the hotel have private bathrooms, which was a requirement for us. The bed was probably the least comfortable of our trip (too firm even for us) but we were so exhausted by the time we stumbled into our hotel room each night that it didn't really matter. The staff at the front desk was always very nice and helpful. They speak some English if that matters to you. The price ended up working out to about $55 a night, which you really can't beat. If you're looking for a cozy spot in a convenient location, I'd definitely recommend this hotel.

We were close to La Puerta del Sol (around 10 min walk) and La Plaza Mayor. - WiFi was great. - each bed had a charging port next to it and a small reading light - the bed was actually pretty comfortable for a bunk bed. - common areas downstairs were always clean and readily available. - Staff was pretty friendly - bathrooms/bath were in our room. Cons: - the shower was a hassle. You have to hold on to the shower button in order for water to come out. If you release the button, the water turns off quickly. - they said rooms were cleaned daily, but I don't think that was true. My friend's comforter had dirt, hair, and stains. - not the hostel's fault, but it can get loud outside at night, especially on the weekend. And by night, I mean 5am there were still people chattering outside. - we weren't provided hand soap initially. When we requested it, they only brought toilet paper, but not hand soap. - we weren't provided locks for our locker. Overall, I'm not sure if my experience was different because I was sharing a room with people from my tour group. I think I'd probably stay again for the price and location if the lockers had locks and I was sharing with people.

Located in the Chueca neighborhood, you will have plenty of options to spend your evening. We had a private room which was super clean and included a complete bathroom and a balcony! It is also a close walk to Parc du Retiro and the Museum of Madrid. An even closer walk to the Gran Via, the massive shopping boulevard. Do not make the same mistake I did and not purchase clothes or shoes from Madrid they are a great price compared with Barcelona. There is also a ton food and you are a stone's throw from El Tigre a popular and cool tapas place. I also recommend getting their breakfast as it was filling, including croissants, coffee, baguettes, cheese, meat, eggs, and fruit.

Be aware the rooms are tiny, but they're really tidy and clean. Plus, for he price and quality, you just can't beat the location! They're perfectly located if you're eager to see the city and explore downtown. It's a 2 minute walk to the Puerta del Sol and a 2 minute minute walk to the Plaza Mayor. You are literally in the middle of everything. It's amazing. Our room was on the street side and was a little noisy at night sometimes, but they have sound/lightproof shutters to close over the balcony door. They have a single parking spot directly in front of the hostal that is reserved just for their customers. It is only for loading and unloading luggage and so cannot be used for long-term parking, but it's very convenient, so keep it in mind if you're renting a car. There are a couple of underground parking garages not too far away where we've always parked our rental car. The hotel does validate your parking ticket when you check-out. I really have had a great experience staying here and would recommend it to anyone who has never been to Madrid or is looking to maximize their exploration.
