It was a quick stay for 1 night only between my trip from Seville and Valencia but as far I could see the hostel looks nice and the staff is friendly. Good ambient and installations. Stayed in a mixed room and the bathroom and shower is much better than the other hostel I stayed in Madrid before, not far from this one. There’s a separation for people put their toiletries which I think it’s really important, as most hostels are disorganised and lack privacy unfortunately.
