Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    If you're looking for a social hostel then this is the one! Daily activities and easy to meet people in the hostel, so there was everyday a good vibe also because of the very cool staff/volunteers. Beer is cheap as well! The location is very central and with a short walk you're at Sol and Gran Via. Beds were comfy and it was a nice concept of not having bunk beds
