Literally everything else, this had the feel of a nice hotel but it’s a hostel. The bathroom in particular was so calming and the shower was great. You have a little balcony. Great common area with a good kitchen, bar, and pool. Unbeatable location and very good value.
One of the lockers was broken, so 1 person didn’t use a locker. The bed frames were wooden so the ventilation wasn’t great, and it felt hot even in March. Just opening the balcony door was a quick solve, but this might be a challenge in the summer, or if any of your roommates don’t want to open the door.

This is one of the best hostels I've stayed in.
I only stayed one night, with no negative points. Furthermore, the property was well located for tourism. The staff were friendly, and the overall appearance were clean and attractive.
I had no complaints. The only improvement I would suggest is providing towels for guests.

I enjoyed every minute of it.
Super clean, great location, the staff very nice and welcoming
The only feedback I have is to have some curtains at the beds. Everything else was purely amazing.

I have enjoyed staying at TOC because of the location and kindness of the staff. The breakfast is a great recommendation
The staff was really nice. The location is the best you can find, a block away from Sol.
The facilities are really nice and the breakfast an excellent option.

Central location, clean rooms, helpful staff, limited shower privacy and basic breakfast.
Excellent place with a professional and friendly team, available 24/7. They offered great tips and helped us navigate the city: what to do, where to go, and how to get around. The room was fairly large, comfortable, and very clean. The location is unbeatable: super central, only a 1-minute walk from Puerta del Sol, close to Gran Vía and the main shopping area, with metro and buses all around within easy walking distance.
One downside is the shower area privacy. The shower is located right near the entrance of the room, so whenever someone comes in or goes out, they pass by that area. Since you wouldn’t usually bring clothes into the shower (they get wet), you end up stepping out with just a towel in that space, which can feel a bit exposed. Personally it didn’t bother me too much, but in a mixed/shared room setup I can see how many women might feel uncomfortable with it, and I wouldn’t choose this room type for my girlfriend. Breakfast was okay, but nothing more than that quite basic

Very pleasant stay
Very pleasant hostel, with nice design. Very good located in the old city center, near to many attractions and metro station (Sol). There is also a big shopping center in the next building. Anyway quiet (I had a room on 2nd flor from the yard side). Stuff was very polite and helpful. There is great common area in the kitchen/dining room where you can eat and relax by good, quiet music. I had a room with bathroom, where WC was separated from shower what is an advantage. Also plus for big locker in the room for each person. Opening door by card very comfortable. Heating was in place (and working). I recommend!
Maybe only a curtain in the bed was missing, like many people mentioned already.

A wonderful experience—my second time staying with this brand and in a hostel in general. I usually choose hotels, but t
The location was ideal, the breakfast was delicious with a wide variety of choices, and I really enjoyed the overall atmosphere. Everything was excellent.
Honestly, there was nothing in particular I didn’t like—everything went very well.

Unbeatable location and a warm cozy room, would definately return!
Right smack in the center of Madrid, location can’t be beat. We stayed in a family room on the fourth floor; our two teenagers enjoyed the room setup. Room was very cozy, warm and clean, with a small french balcony and really well insulated from the outside hustle and bustle. Hostel feels like stepping back in time (in a good way), quirky staircase, very nice communal eating area, pool table and bar. Staff was extra friendly and helpful.
Nothing! but if something can be suggested it would be some shelves/more hangers in the family room.

Fantastic Location, right on Plaza Puerta del Sol, so very close to all the shopping streets and restaurants and cafes and even the museums, el Retiro park, Royal Palace were at 20-25mins distance.. Very clean rooms, good comfortable beds and good lighting.
I had to access the room (1st floor) through stairs, and there were a lot of beds on that floor, so making it difficult to access/making it without access to Elevator is not a good idea.

Very good, you get what is promised on booking.com.
The staff was really friendly and hostel looked cute and had warm feeling.
Room should be vacuumed better. There was like six old towels from previous travelers and a lot of hair on the floor. So just a little bit more extra cleaning on the room edges :)

Stay at TOC
Clean hostel in the city center with all the facilities around. Reachable to all shops, food joints and clubs.
The beds don't have the curtains for privacy while sleeping and when reaching the second bed there is no grill to catch n it is dangerous at night when everyone is sleeping and you try to get out of the bed in dark without handles

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.
