Mola! Hostel

The location is great in the center. I have a chance to talk with some people about traveling around Spain 🇪🇸. They have the price is okay for you travel solo in Madrid and save some money. They have some activities, small kitchen for service the basics food. Great place for youths to explore even for the big family, too. The staff are very nice, friendly and helpful. They all speak very good English 👍 and I am sure they speak different languages beside Spanish 😉 The receptionist is open 24/7 so they are there to help you have a comfortable stay. That's great for the service of hospitality needed 👏 👌 The room is clean and is the same in the picture 📸, but it is not like a hundred percent because the facility is getting old in the meantime. I chose the top bed 🛌 but I feel sorry every time I climb up from the stairs because it makes a big noise 😅 so annoying. I think it's time to upgrade a metal one that will be better. I saw the housekeeper clean it every. Each room, it has one tolliet and one shower 🚿 room. Just make sure to bring your own earplugs because if you stay mixed, there will be some people snoring out loud. I stayed on the first floor and next to the theater 🎥 😩 so it was double loud noise from in and outside. So please 🙏 make the note that you are not staying next to the street. PS: Bring your own lock 🔐 to lock the cabinet under your bed Highly recommended 👌!

Stellar location! Rooms are pretty tight with 0 natural light but the beds have curtains, the upper bunks are a pain to get up in to. We had a en-suite bathroom with a clogged sink so that was kind of gross. If you’re looking for a good nights rest, people definitely come back late here from clubbing so beware of that. The location and mostly nice amenities made this an overall good experience, I would recommend!

One star mainly because I lost my shoes while staying here. The rooms are clean and comfortable, but if security is not assured, no other positive aspect can make up for it. I left my room around 2 PM and returned at 6 PM, only to find my shoes missing. I initially asked the reception if we could review the security cameras outside the room to see if someone had taken them. However, the person at the desk seemed unwilling, saying the time window was too long to review. The same person also told me that I should have placed my shoes in the locker if I was leaving the room—something I’ve never been advised to do (putting your footwear in a locker) at any other hostel I’ve stayed at in Madrid. I also checked with my roommates if anyone has seen it and they were all outside during the time I left and returned to the room. Now I’ve simply been told that their superiors are aware of the situation and will update me if there’s any progress.

As it was my first experience travelling solo, the Mola Hostel made it even more pleasant than it was. The beds were really comfy and you could have the sense of privacy with the curtains and the way that the beds were built. It was a little bit difficult going up on the upper beds but thankfully I was on the bottom ones. The location is the best, you could be in all major attractions within 10 minutes of walking. The staff was really nice and helpful in general. The cleaning staff were almost everyday in our room throwing out trash etc. Plus having lockers to store your luggage after you check out was really convenient. Thank you for the stay and if I come back to Madrid I will for sure visit you again. Leo, muchas gracias por la atención y todo te esperamos en Grecia amigo 🇬🇷.

Very happy with our stay here. All the employees at the help desk were so kind and definitely helpful! The rooms were cleaned every day, and the location is great!

The bunk beds were very high and really unsafe. The ladder to climb up was just some narrow slippery planks with no bars on the side to hold on to. I slipped and fell, thankfully not from high up but still got some bruises. Also no safety bar or something on the side of the bed so don't roll around too much at night. Hostel itself was dark and sketchy too, I was there just one night and won't come back again.

It is probably at the best location, the rooms are nice with insuite toilet but the door of the room was not the best, it had issues to get closed easily. Nice experience overall.

Way too hot and dry, no climatization. Room was in medium condition. Good location nevertheless whole plaza was full of homeless.

Clean and nice hostel. Comfy beds, lots of storage space. Friendly front desk people. Interesting fashion theme. Bedding was clean. Bathroom attached to room (only 8 people), pretty clean as well. Chill vibe. My only grievance is that the storage lockers for holding bags after check out were broken. They had a partnership discount with a nearby storage locker company but it ended costing about €10 instead of €2 which was a bummer. Overall, great experience. I would for sure come back and recommend to a friend.

affordable and managable for a few nights. don't have any complaints and it was just on the center of the city. overall good

Friendly 'Staff and good food for dinner. I loved going out with the hostel group which made me feel safer and easier to make friends to enjoy going to bars and clubs with. Great lounge downstairs as well. Follow me on Instagram @willeatfood

My friend and I had a great experience staying in this hostel while visiting. Our friend lived in a building across the street, so it was very convenient for us. Upon arriving, we were greeted by a gentlemen (can't remember his name) but he was so friendly, helpful, and put up with our nonsense! Lol We got a females only dorm with 6 beds and it was just the two of us the first two days. We were super hung over the first morning so we took advantage of the buffet/vending machines and the peace and quiet lol. The two girls who stayed later in the week were quiet, never noticed them. Our items were always safe in the room, locked underneath the bed. Beds are super comfortable ! A week later we got stuck in a females only 8 person dorm with loud ass people. They were fully booked that night, we had no reservation and they made it work. Even after we told them we wanted to stay in the same room lol. At some point during that trip we stayed in a male and female 4 person dorm. At first we were hesitant to stay with a male but we only needed it for one night since we were heading south the next day for a couple of days. It wasn't as bad as we thought, but the room was definitely small! Each time that we'd come in and out in that month of us staying in Puerta del sol, was really fun. The staff was always friendly and it wasn't expensive. We always got a good price. The hostel is clean, big, and you can meet a lot of people hanging around there. The buffet isn't the best but it is what it is. There's a great spot down the street passed the movie theater "el turkito". Sooooo good. Grocery store is down the street and there's a subway directly across from the hostel. Bars all around. (They do a bar hopping tour).

The bed they gave me had bed bugs in it!! I have bites all over my body and it was horrible. I asked the front desk to move me to other bed but they turned me down. They only had the cleaning lady to change the bed sheets for me and still, I got bitten at that night. I ended up going to the hospital and got a shot. I would not recommend this hostel at all!

Traveling from the U.S. Hostel was so clean and welcoming. Many activities provided for people staying to take part in. Breakfast in Hostel at a cost. Great way to make people. Right in the center of all of the fun!

Clean enough but the common area closes at midnight, you have to pay for luggage storage, and there's no sleeping in the common area. We were denied a late check out and ended up having to pay 15 euro to store our bags from check out at 11am until we left for the airport at 7pm. We were yelled at when my brother tried to take a short nap in the common area despite the fact that it was empty. It wasn't terrible but the Generator Hostel is much more accommodating and a better deal for your money.

Friendly and upbeat environment. Perfect location and offers plenty of activities with others in the hostel. Common area is inviting. Rooms are super clean and tidy. Would HIGHLY recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a place to stay in Madrid.

Clean enough, but the staff seemed unorganized. There were deals advertised from days before that hadn't been changed. In the common area, there was a sign for a 24 hour airport shuttle, but the desk staff said it only runs once a week. Very long lines during check in, and when we were given our first room keys, we realized the beds had not been changed, and there was trash in the beds. We told the desk staff, and they moved us to another room. However, they didn't give us the correct key cards for the new room. We were told by one staff member that we would be refunded, but when we asked at check out about the refund, we were told that would be unlikely. You need to pay to store luggage, which was inconvenient, and once when we waited to check in, we were told the room was ready, but it wasn't until about an hour later. It was difficult to plan our day around Mola on check in/check out days, and the information in general was inconsistent and unreliable.
