Price and location are great. Keep in mind this is a Hostel. As far as Hostels go its A
Its about a 15 minute walk from the train station (Uphill). Every "main" attraction is within a 20m walk. My wife and I walk a lot so this was not an issue. We had a private dorm with shared bathrooms. The bathrooms are pretty jammed but again, its a hostel. They were clean and that was important.
My only recommendation is that you bring ear plugs. For the most part things were very quiet, however someone who snores so loudly (you could hear it walls away from a stair case) made one night pretty rough. Outside of that, no complaints. Laundry was easy and was 7 euroes to do a full load.
Muchas gracias por tu comentario. ¡Estamos felices de que hayas tenido una experiencia agradable en nuestro Hostal! Esperamos verte aquí de nuevo. ¡Un saludo!
The staff showed me the best places to see with the limited time I had here. I was able drop my bags off before check in so I didn’t have to lug them around all day

It was clean and staff was nice. I stayed in women only 6 people sharing the room. The moldy smell of shower was very strong and it was hard to stay in the room without a window opened. I reported the issue to a staff and she said they can't do much about it because it is coming from pipes. There was no ventilation in the bathroom so I had to leave the door open after a shower. I could see mold on shower walls. Other than that it was good.

Dear guest,
We ar every glad that you enjoy your staying at our Hostel! We always take note to any sugestions to improve our service.
Best regards!
if you snore forget about sharing bedroom. The other people in the room will bother you all night, especially Spaniard which has no education or tolerance. The bathroom is quite small and uncomfortable. You don’t have any place to put your clothes inside. The mattress is quite hard and uncomfortable and there is no effective regulation for temperature in bedroom. Too hot in middle of January makes no sense. I won’t repeat for sure, especially for the intolerant people when sharing bedroom. Bad overall experience.

Thank you so much for staying with us. We will keep in mind your opinion so that we can improve each day. Best regards.
The location was great- not far from the train station and walking distance to the main attractions. The decor is hip and homey at once, excellent accommodations for cooking with a grocery store nearby. My teenaged daughters and I felt very safe here.

The place is in excellent conditions, very kind people, clean, good breakfast. Excellent location in the middle of Madrid downtown, close to the subway and main train station.
There were only 2 negative items:
- the bed sheets had 2 old blood drops
- the shower was really small and one morning they had problem with the hot water so I had to shower with freezing water, however they fix it quickly.
Despite of those 2 things, it was a great deal thinking about the cost vs the benefit.

Thank you so much for your review and choosing our hostel during your stay in Madrid. We hope to see you again soon
I would of liked a bathroom that was single so you didn't have to share while using. Same for the shower.

Thanks Hyeju for taking your time in this review. We are glad to know you had enjoyed you stay in our hostel. Hope to see you again in Far Home Atocha!
Buenas tardes ! Le agradecemos habernos elegido. Nos alegra que su estancia haya sido agradable, también agradecerle su tiempo para dejarnos su comentario. Le estaremos esperando en su próxima visita por Madrid .Un saludo
The hostel located not in the street, not very easy to be found without indicating. However, the staff is very friendly, the space of shared dorm is big that everyone can pickup their own staff easily 👍
One more point, they have dryer in every bathroom, not need to ask, no need to borrow, it’s so convenient especially for girls 👍👍
