This youth hostel is really centrally located - a fifteen minute walk away from all the major tourist attractions, particularly the museums and El Retiro parc to the east and the old town, royal palace and cathedral to the west. |The rooms are very clean and the bed is comfortable. The hostel was quiet at night - no problem with noise from the street or other residents.|Cleaning staff are constantly at work to keep all areas of the hostel clean. |The communal kitchen is well equipped and surprisingly clean given all the people who use it. Access to a huge fridge is really practical, as is the dining area. |There's a nice relaxed atmosphere in the dining/lounge and roof top areas which favours meeting other travellers. |The staff are really friendly and helpful, and the hostel organises various outings and visits, e.g. free visits of old town and new town, pub crawl, tapas evening, street art tour (which I did) and flamenco evening....|I would highly recommend this youth hostel.
