Hostel The Hat, Madrid

great location, very nice staff, 24h reception

top beds have zero privacy - people on all bunks can see each other because the curtains are too short. the curtains also do not cover the whole length of the bed

Everything

The rain

The team was amazing ❤️ we see that they love what they do and that shows how they receveid and take care of their hosts ! The breakfast was super good and the atmosphere of the hostel is perfect to anyone who wants to feel confortable, cared and secure !

The staff is really friendly and kind, the room was clean. Make sure you have a drink on the terrace.

Wish we could've stayed longer, but we were in transit to the airport. Will definitely return to The Hat next time. Super convenient location in nice barrio. Excellent breakfast option! Appreciate the privacy curtains for lower bunks.

It exceeded my expectations in every aspect.

it was si much fun, good vibes, nice events and just perfect! It was my first experience in a hostel and made me want to do it again!

Fresh design, large public space and terrace!

I liked the location, the staff, the place.

The bunk ladder

The location it’s a central of Madrid and the place to sit and enjoy the coffee is nice!

The hostel was very clean, with extremely nice stuff and very comfortable beds. We went on the Sangria Workshop and the Pubcrawl of the Hostel and it was super fun, we had a great night and perfect stay.

Great location and the staff were very helpful!

That’s a good hostel (well located,clean )with a friendly staff,specially Maria,My best friend there :)

Everything was fine

Front desk: day shift Rene and night shift Lucas are the best, they are so nice to every customer, and very patient with us, they go extra steps to help us, take care all our travel problems, we really do appreciate their service, because of their outstanding hospitality, I recommend all my friends to stay here when they come to Madrid.

The rooms, breakfast, people

location Silent around Staff Love roof tarace

Is not I didn't like but suggest more warm version of breakfast

Location is really central. Beds super comfy. Super clean and feels like you have your private bathroom. Really modern and nice everything.staff kind

Pretty clean, big lockers that fit the luggage and the location was amazing. Also recommend the walking tour.

I arrived at 10 am after a transoceanic flight and they let me have my bed ahead of check-in time which was so nice. One morning I woke up at 4 am got dressed headed to the lobby and the 24 reception was glad to make me a hot Americano and I had an extra-creative morning of writing. They distributed the guests throughout the rooms, so I had the room to myself 2 out of 5 nights.

I had to use my key card to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. The rooftop is a bar and restaurant without a view. The seating for breakfast with everyone on bar stools and ledges with their backs to one another was not conducive to socializing

Great

Lovation and gorka was great

Great location, staff were excellent and was great value for money. Staff even upgraded my room free of charge and kindly let me store my luggage for an extra period of time

The vibe is so nice! :)

Central location, accommodating staff, comfy bed with privacy curtain, large lockers for luggage, large bath, large common area with restaurant and bar at the rooftop. Recommended!!

Beds was really comfortable, the situation was unbeatable

Space in the room very little

very friendly stuff, amazing location

tbh- nothing! everything was perfect. ill be staying there at next visit :)

Beds were very comfortable. Had curtains And gave 2 pillows which is such a rarity for a hostel Bathrooms are very well maintained and clean

Stayed for one night and was given a top bunk when there were bottom bunks available

The people at the front desk are so nice and speak good English. The room is ok. It was small but everyone who was staying there were respectful. I did have a good sleep.

No dislike about the stay

Fantastic location a stone's throw from the plaza! Hostel beds were sturdy and there were large private luggage lockers for each person. Bathrooms were cleaned daily!

The Hat Tea is a very joyful and helpful team. It was my first experience with "Hostellerie", I will definitely do it again in "The Hat"

Can we have the breakfast until 11 am please?? No easy to wake up earlier after a night party in Madrid😉😅

Great value for city center. Comfortable beds

There was a small fee to store luggage after we checked out. Still much better rate than other luggage drops and Bounce app

Very clean and best location

Location is great close to everything

N/A

Very central, friendly staff, coffee and drinks available at the bar

Small room for four people

I think breakfast is so nice and location is awesome.

The common areas were very nice, there was a fridge, microwave and cutlery available to use. The atmosphere was very nice and the rooms were quiet . Location was great, one block from Plaza Mayor. Carrefour and Día meters away. They have hair dryers to lend, which is good in winter. The lower beds have curtains for privacy. I liked it very much. Breakfast is available for pay. There is a terrace that is very nice.

There was a mix up with the beds and I ended up sleeping in the upper bed. Mattress was not comfortable like the other reviews said. Bathroom is inside and there are no other bathrooms on the floor to use if it’s busy.

Wonderful position, really nice and clean building and appropriate services. They organize something (pub crawl and sangria making) every night.

I think they can work on the breakfast to make them vary more.

The staff and the people around was very kind and friendly! Nice environment for solo traveler !

The lift is not working and I wish they have more available bathrooms in different floors in the building!

Perfect location, room, price.

I absolutely loved everything about this hostel. From the breakfast, to the rooms, to the staff! Everything was amazing! The location is great as well it’s close to several metro stations and is close to all major attractions. There is a grocery store right across the street if you’re on a budget and don’t want to eat out - plus the kitchen has everything you need except an oven (it only has one of those counter top ovens).

Because of the way the bunk beds in the room is built (I stayed in room 8), the front part of the bed is covered by a curtain but the back is only half covered by the wooden frame of the bed. So, if you’re on the bottom bunk and someone is behind your bed (going to their locker or something) they will be able to see you and you, them.

Great location close to everything in the center of Madrid by foot or metro, chill relaxed vibe from the personnel and quite clean and spacious regarding the hostel type of accommodation

It could have been a bit warmer at night, degrees were low now in December winter, even though there was a A/C in the room I felt that it would be more efficient if there were also some radiators to heat up

Great contemporary hostel centrally located. Everything is nearby.

Ground too cold, very cold to walk on in the room. Room is also very narrow.

The shower was really an experience. I loved the water pressure. The hairdryer in the restroom was also something that not all hostels have, so extra point for The Hat Madrid.

As I had to leave everyday too early in the morning, I was not so comfortable of brushing my teeth in the room. It would be fantastic to have a sink outside the bedroom, in the same area you have showers and toilet seats.

Location

location, cleanliness, staff

Loved the location! In the middle of everything, next to Plaza Mayor.

Location, very neat and clean, the tours available.

Clean, central, great friendly welcoming staff. Several free events to help people meet and mingle. Great rooftop restaurant and bar.

Nothing. It was all good.

Not a bad hostel at all. The location is the best

NA

The location was great - near all the main attractions (right off of Calle de Atocha, near Plaza Mayor and Puerta de Sol) without being super noisy or crowded. The bar downstairs and on the rooftop were great hangout spots. I appreciated the little kitchen as well in case you wanted to store things in the fridge or make tea during the day. Staff were really helpful and accommodating, lots of good events on - I didn't get to go on any of the pub crawls they did, but they definitely had a good amount of activities on. Beds were pretty comfortable, bathrooms were pretty clean and the shower in particular was great. Would happily come back!

Nothing to be majorly disappointed in. The rooms are a little lacking in decor (though that's not super important when staying in a hostel,) and I do wish there was some additional storage space for bathroom items/toiletries - but nothing that was a deal breaker.

Staff are very friendly and helpful, exceptionally clean room and bathroom. Beds are comfortable. Location is great.

Suggest asking for the bottom bunk if you're staying in a multi bed room, they have a privacy/blackout curtain which the top bunks don't have.

It was my first time of being in a hostal. I really liked its cleaness. There were people from everywhere and the hostal had provided suitable public spaces (entrance hall, basement, fifth floor bar) where people can meet, socialize and get to know each other. The hostal ran day and night tours of Madrid.
