Hostel The Hat, Madrid

All good. Comfy bed, clean room, nice people at the reception. Kitchen is small but has plates and cutlery, microwave and baking stove that you can cook pizza or pre-made lasagna from Lidl (5 min). Great location. Feels safe for a standalone traveler. Shower and toilet in the room. Elevator. Laundry 4 eur and drying 4 eur. A washing and drying cycles took about 40 min each. Terrace view. Towel not included. You need to have yourown locker.

Stairs to the upper bed not very comfortable. No cooking stove. One day there was no hot water (barely barely warm only).

Located in city centre, Very comfortable bed and easy access. Rooftop lounge is good to meet other travellers. I love the check out time (12pm). Staff is very friendly, helpful and guided for tour in Madrid or nearby. Carrefour is in front of the hotel and many restaurants also within 1 minute walk away. If you’re foodie, then go to La Latina place, nearest this hotel to enjoy local food with cheap prices. I enjoyed my time there and Thanks!

Todo

Nada, es perfecto

Very nice place, well organized, clean, with a welcoming and super curated common area at the entrance, as well as a kitchen and tables in the basement (and a terrace and bar on the rooftop!). Room: The rooms are well distributed and I enjoyed a good sleep in the 6-bed female dorm (floor 0, facing inwards, no noises). It as an internal private bathroom. The bed (an upper one) was super comfy, with a small curtain (though not covered on top), lamps and shelves and hooks; I loved that the drawing to store your bag is very big, plus there is a huge shelf running along the wall in the room, which I found very useful as an additional place to keep one’s things handy. Facilities and mood The whole hostel is very clean and the staff always welcoming, should you need any extra support (a hairdryer, extra cleaning of the toilet, etc). I never had breakfast at the hostel but I think that the price is average compared to what you’ll find around in the city (never spent less than 5). Something to mention is the supermarket right in front of the hostel, open daily from morning to 23pm, great if one wants to then take advantage of the well equipped kitchen. Activities are organised daily, but I only joined the walking tour (with a non-mandatory extra fee, run by a dedicated company). The people in the hostel were a nice mix of ages, also including some remote workers, so I think everyone might find some other guests to join, while also avoiding the risk of a too noisy party hostel. The location is super and any place is walking distance, not only the must-see on a touristic point of view but also including Malasaña/Chueca for some drinks/clubs at night (20-25 mins on foot).

Cool activities, places to meet people. Amazing location. Our dorm (6 female) had 2 bathrooms and curtains on the bunks which was a big bonus.

One day there wasn’t any warm water.

Location is very good.

Very central with a good location. Nice dorm, the room and the bed are clean.

Excellent location in Madrid. Great conditions of the dorms and toilets. Separate man/woman toilets, which was a plus as we were staying in a mixed dorm and the female toilets were always empty and quite clean. Nice rooftop (although usually a bit crowded and noisy) with a good breakfast option. The common spaces like the lobby and kitchen are also cozy.

The Hat Madrid was super cozy, clean and comfortable. Its central location made it easy to get around the city.

Overall it was great.

Wish there was a stove in the kitchen

The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Great location, comfortable beds with privacy curtains, wonderful staff.

Rooms were quite

Crowdy

The stay was super organized and safe. I found the accommodation very comfortable for a hostel. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly! Breakfast was great, and the location is perfect — close to everything! I really want to go back to Madrid and stay there again. <3

I loved that they had female dorms, these rooms were clean, a lot of space and two showers in one room which felt very generous and useful! Easy and fast check in and out. Also a good location, close to most things. They also offered a nice tour of the city in the morning, could be worth it if you visit Madrid for the first time :)

The beds were ok, but pillows were too hard. They put a bit too high AC in the rooms so I felt I had a cold after

Great location when u get to know the city better. Good breakfast for a fair price.

It is a 10/10, the facility, location, price… so perfect and worthy. The best hostel I’ve stayed in Europe so far!!

Like very much the room and all the areas of the hostel, including the rooftop, very nice!

The breakfast could be better. Could have more variety of food.

Great stay! The rooms were clean and comfy, and the bathrooms were kept clean for a hostel. Breakfast was good and the bar upstairs was really nice, along with a good communal area downstairs

Nothing

Great stay, very modern rooms and bathrooms. Excellent location, very close to main attractions. Breakfast is excellent value with lots of variety.

Great location. No street noise in the room despite the location. Nice staff. Solid bunks with privacy curtains.

No towels provided (and nothing to dry hands with) and the bathroom floor was wet after every shower.

The location : Common area : people

Good location, nice staff, clean amanaties

Although the pub crawls and tours are nice. They are the same every day and don't change anything up

Everything was good. Breakfast and basement sining area were nice. Staff was so friendly! Loves the atmosphere. The location was perfect! The roof top was great!

One roommate was sick and coughed all night. I know that there is nothing that could done.

This is probably the best hostel I've stayed in it didn't even feel like a hostel. It's so close to everything that I hardly needed to use public transport, everything was very clean and well maintained, the staff were very helpful and friendly, breakfast was great! Even though it's in a very central location there wasn't much street noise at all. Room was spacious and comfortable and the rooftop bar was stunning

It's so minor but the kitchen could be better equipped however I can't really fault anything at all.

Great central location to everything you need (restaurants, bars, supermarkets all minutes from the door), super clean bathrooms and rooms, two pillows (so nice!), curtains on beds, lovely balcony off room

Small compact rooms

I had a lovely stay here! The hostel is clean, comfortable, and in a great location. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. There are some activities available if you’d like to join, but it’s also a good place to relax and enjoy the city at your own pace.

I loved everything about it! The location, the staff, the people who stayed there, the activities and that is safe. I’m always scared of staying in hostels with other people, but this was the nicest and safest hostel I ever stayed at. Also Javi was AMAZING!!!!! He made sure I was always comfortable and super helpful. I got pick pocketed in the bus from the airport and he showed me where to go to the police and everything. He is the best! Also I loved the activities they do where I met incredible people. I did the walking tour, the sangria class and the bar night out. Everything was worth it I even forgot about my bad experience arriving to Madrid. Also you can lock your stuff in the room and it’s super safe. It’s close to everything in downtown so I visited everything walking.

Location and comfort of beds

It was my first time visiting Spain. I had the best experience for my first time staying in a hostel. Staff was super helpful and gave great recommendations as to where to eat in a budget.

Everything was great.

The location is perfect. Everyday you’ll get to pass Plaza Mayour and Puerto del sol. And you got the shower and toilet inside the dormitory itself.

It is loud up to almost 12 midnight and the whole day.

Great location and clean facilities. Front desk staff were amazing. The roof top bar/restaurant is great. Female dorm ensuites were clean and good size.

The noise from the rooftop bar travels down into all the dorms, however this is generally expected from hostels and the noise level was not terrible.

Everything! If you are a hostel person. This how all hostels should be. Cool facilities and customer service, perfect to meet people, good beer at the bar.

Rooms on basement were a little dark

Great rooms, storage, events for people looking to make friends every night, sky bar is cool! Great location.

Perfect location, room of four was clean

The bunk beds are very noisy for lower beds. Also it would be helpful to implement a quite area for remote workers as the hostel is pretty noisy everywhere

comfortable bed, good breakfast, lovely roof terrace. convenient luggage storage

locker was difficult to close (made it noisy for others)

The staff was great, the room was not too bad, and the location was very convenient Is great that they try to arrange the activities to the people who staying with them

The bathroom was so small, and each floor only had two for females and two for males. Without the hook, I cannot hang my clothes inside the tub room but hang across the top of the door. The water has to keep pressing the button to let it come out... That wasn't a very friendly way, plus the light automatically shut off too quickly; I had not even finished peeing yet, already gone dark. 30 sec? I don't know maybe this is the hostel rule to save the electricity? The walking tour is suck, I understand that it is outsourced to an outside tour, but please don't use them anymore. Any travellers have seen this message; that's a dozen free walking tours outside, so don't waste your time with the one hostel. The Sangria workshop wasn't great; I assumed to learn how to make it instead of straightaway competition, but by the end of the workshop, I still didn't know how to make it and don't know what should be the authentic one. I wasted my time on this and that free tour.

Reasonable selection of food and good quantities. Pretty good value

Limited kitchen facilities and our presence was excluded once for some other booking / occasion or event.

Excellent location a stone's throw from Plaza de España. Nice terrace. A good varied breakfast available at additional cost.

Cool interior, nice rooftop, spacious and bright rooms. Staff were great and super helpful! No real kitchen but still able to worm up good in the microwave and toaster so if you're aware there's no kitchen there's no problem at all.

The beds are a bit squeeky when someone's shuffling around in the bed. The sink and bathroom inside the dorm makes it quite noisy.

Very friendly and very helpful staff. Clean facility with comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Kitchen downstairs equipped with frig and microwave. Grocery stores located nearby. Close proximity to Metro.

Better ventillation in sleeping quarters, it gets pretty stuffy sometimes.

Friendly attentive staff. Great location. Comfy beds and pillows. Very clean bathrooms. Very quiet. Excellent value for money breaky at 7€.

Nothing

The Location is amazing.

I stayed at the HAT and found it to be in a great location. The Wi-Fi was good, and the room, though small, was clean and comfortable. I didn't try the breakfast. Overall, a convenient and clean place to stay in Madrid

The hostel is amazing, you have all you need and the staff is so nice. The location is perfect, in the heart of Madrid, actually, next to Plaza Mayor. I strongly recommend this hostel. I would certainly come back again.

I liked it everything.

Staff were friendly and helpful as they communicated well with me.

I think for the value of money, it is worth it. The location is the best, the rooftop bar is great in terms of view and the drinks you can order, the vibe of the rooftop bar is great. The bathroom is clean, the room is clean with great facilities. So yea, good facilities!

Nothing really

It is amazing place , I really feel like home , location is prefect , most of the staff is very nice , room is very big and so clean , sharing space is cool , I could prepare my coffee downstairs also and some people prepare their food ,Their breakfast is good , they provide iron machine and table also if you need it .

Sometimes guests didnt deal with sharing bathroom properly and didnt flush it and let it stuck by tissues , I hope if there is more choices of food for people from middle east at breakfast "This is not criticism just give advice to improve your excellent services ", for sure I would like to stay there again .

Comfortable beds and linens, clean, friendly staff, activities which they offer

Nothing
