The location of the hostel was excellent. The rooms were clean and tidy. The common area was spacious and practical. The prices at the bar in the common area were reasonable, and the bartenders were very friendly. I didn’t experience any issues during my 2-day stay.
It could have been even more comfortable if the beds had curtains.

Location is perfect, its not easy to come from the airport but everything else is very easy to get to. Beds are nice and comfortaboe and a little bit bigger than I am used to which was nice. Stuff was amazing and really helpful. View from the terrace was also really nice as the city was coverednim christmass decorations. Definitely very good value for money.
I dont like that toilete and cabins are separated but it was not a huge problem. In our room we had problem with flushing so its something that should definitely be fixed. Also cabins for showers are semi-transparent which is not a huge problem but it could be uncomfortable sometimes for women in mixed rooms. Also rooms lack some space to leave the shoes and some there is enough space to have a chair or two for putting shoes on etc. Breakfast was good but I would prefer more savory options (there are plenty of sweet options for people who prefer it)

TOC Hostel sits right in the centre of Madrid which means you step outside and immediately collide with history tapas and confused tourists. Location is almost unfair, Plaza Mayor is minutes away and the city basically does not let you sleep early. The place feels modern clean and well organized like a hostel that went to business school. Big common areas a bar downstairs and enough social energy to accidentally make friends even if you planned not to. Rooms are tidy and beds are comfortable enough to forgive the fact that you are sharing oxygen with strangers. It is lively especially at night so this is not a monastery retreat. If you want silence look elsewhere. If you want convenience atmosphere and a hostel that feels more polished than most apartments this works very well. Madrid was founded in the 9th century and somehow TOC managed to squeeze itself right into the middle of it all. Not cheap but you pay for location and sanity. A solid choice if you want Madrid at full volume without sleeping on the street.
It’s right in the middle of Madrid tourist street so it’s busy and noisy til late. You

Everything is amazing, so cost-effective. It has a great location, literally in the center of the city. Going to any tourist attractions is so close and convenient. The room is so clean, the staff is welcoming. Even the hallway smell nice,I think they used perfume. It has a great privacy and the bathroom is big and clean. I will definitely visit there again

Toc Hostel is a great place for solo.tourists like me who are visiting the Madrid city centre.
The shared bathroom was although clean but the sink basin was designed in such a way that you cannot prevent water from accumulating on the floor. That makes it harder to was your face without getting the water spilled on the floor. I made a suggestion to the receptionist that they can place a cloth mat on the bathroom floor to prevent water spillage from making a pool.

The hostel was in the center and there was a variety of restaurants/fast food chains around it apart from stores and souvenir shops. The metro and general transpo are also within walking distance so it's very accessible. For the rooms, the 6-bedroom I stayed in was clean and the bunk bed was comfortable. There's also a bar/kitchen and the breakfast buffet included with the price I paid for was great.

Perfect hostel for your time in Madrid.
This hostel is in such a gorgeous building in a very convenient location in Madrid. Staff were very friendly. My room was very spacious for 6 people. Everything was clean. More than enough storage.
Great bathroom but also it didn't give as much privacy that I am used to.

The ambience in the common/bar area. Perfect location. nice room, good bed.
Room was not ready at 15:00. Toilets were not clean - shared for room 101-104 (some clients must have a very poor behavior, if you have a stomach issue - use the brush!) "privacy curtains" on the beds.

The beds were amazingly comfortable. The staff were on point and available 24 hours a day. The location was spectacular. When I lost my room card, they were totally accommodating and friendly. The temperature inside was wonderful. It was, overall an amazing and lovely place to stay and I would recommend it to anybody.
We were in the girls dorm, and sometimes guests would come in at two or 3 AM making as much noise as they would at a normal hour of day, and the bathroom and showers are right next to the bedroom. But maybe that's just dorm living. I don't hold toc hostel responsible for other peoples actions, but that could've been a little quieter. I would like to have seen more public seating in the bar or dining area, in order to have a place to land outside of the bedroom. Everything else was great!

The best European hostel
The hostel, if we consider everything, the wonderful staff members, respectful roommates and central location, has been my best home away from home for the period I spent in Madrid. I can't imagine staying anywhere else on my future visits.
I would have appreciated to find restrooms freshly cleaned when we shower early morning. It would also offer more privacy to have curtains to give more of a capsule feeling. However, since all the roommates were exceptionally considerate this was not an issue.

The breakfast itself was great. A good selection of cheese, meat with cereals, yoghurt, toast, boiled eggs and a couple of cakes. Staff were lovely and constantly restocked.
There just weren’t enough tables. We went at a popular time but usually had to wait a while which was annoying.

Amazing location, exceptional value for money.
Air-conditioning in our room didnt work so it was boiling hot at night. The staff said the system was broken and there was nothing they could do about it. Also the bathroom light stayed on the whole time (it had no switch which is a bit odd) so it was bright at night.

Location is great, very nice traditional building, comfy beds and no loud noises at night.
Water collects in the middle of the shower and doesn't drain properly after each use.

Great location, Modern accommodations
Location was great, the building was quite large....a remodeled grand hotel.
Kitchen had no stove and really couldn't be used at all during their breakfast service (8€). Also, inadequate refrigerator space for such a large facility. Bathrooms lacked privacy (and exhaust vents!)
