this is simply a place that is a last resort option. The area is awful the heat was awful and i am pretty sure there were bed bugs. It should be cheaper for what it is really. Do not stay here alone if you are a woman, not worth it, spend the extra 20 bucks and stay somewhere better.

The Host was in constant communication with me to ensure i arrived at the right location, gave advice on things to help me settle in fast and enjoy my experience in madrid.

Misleading listing - did not say "Double Room" also has a shared bathroom - the same as "Double Room with Shared Bathroom" listing. Having two listings of different names and prices with the same room type and shared bathrooms is super misleading.

I was greeted by a friendly receptionist who gave me all the information I required. The room was clean, warm and secure. I found that I needed to wear earplugs to avoid being kept awake by people using the security codes during the night. With ear plugs it was no problem. I stayed two nights comfortably for a very reasonable fee. Ten minutes walk to Museo Reina Sofia and a further twenty minutes to Museo Prado.

If you want to stay cheap, it’s perfect but very noisy area night bathrooms are separate to rooms and toilet. Very noisy people used them all night, the reception man and the cleaner lady very good, looked after everything for us had to change room, as had leak in the night from the roof and the cleaning lady sorted out everything and changed our room straightaway with no complaints, very apologetic.

The room was tiny. More like a closet. Not even a trash can. One tub for about 20 rooms. Room smelled terrible from cigarette smoke.

THIS IS MY FIRST TIME AT A HOSTEL. I had a lovely 10 nights. The room is decent and for the price you can’t beat it. Make sure to ask in advance for a room with a balcony, they are for the most part first come first serve. Thank you to the host for letting me relax in the lobby area while I waited for my room. Overall it’s clean, no thin walls, and in a great area that’s close to downtown. The only downside is the noise outside. If you can sleep with a busy night life outside then you’ll be just fine. Thank you again!

Barebones hostel, having a private room is really nice if you don’t want to share a room with 11 strangers. However, our check-in experience was a nightmare, as a neighbor had to contact the property owner to let me in as I was not given the code after checking in online. Furthermore the room’s floor tiles were not properly cemented to the ground. All of this being said, the neighborhood was great and not tourists-y and the front desk worker when she was there was very helpful and spoke great English.

Alojamiento en el centro de La Latina, buena ubicación para conocer la zona. Nuestra habitación pequeña pero dentro de lo que se podía esperar por el precio muy ajustado que tenía. Baño compartido, ok, sin pretensiones. Tal vez un poco ruidosos los vecinos...de resto bien, el staff muy bien
