The 7 Best Hostels in Madrid (Updated 2025)

"If you want to party, this is the place: once a week they fill the fountain in the 17th-century Andalusian-style patio with sangria and things get wild, and even when there’s no sangria party they run nightly pub crawls, walking tours, quiz nights, mojito nights and more. The hostel’s own venue, the Cave, hosts live music, dance parties, flamenco nights and other events, and there’s a movie room for downtime. The dorms are pretty basic but clean—each bed has its own power socket, reading lamp, and locker—though the mattresses aren’t thick and there are no curtains (but you’re really there for the party atmosphere)." - Matthew Kepnes
