Room007 Ventura Hostel, มาดริด

I can't believe this hostel was so affordable - it was very clean, the location was great and the front desk staff are very friendly. I liked that the toilet and shower are in different "rooms." They also offered breakfast pastries & coffee/juice for 2 euros. Two complaints: you have to press a button in the shower every 30 seconds to keep it on & the wifi wasn't stable. Other than that, it was a great stay!

Hostel is located in a great location that is walking distance from the city centre. The hostel is clean and smells great. Each bed has its own light and outlet which is nice. Because of the reviews and rate of this hostel I had high expectations. Unfortunately the staff at the front desk are not the friendliest and really need to work on hospitality skills. They are not very welcoming or kind so it creates a rigid and cold ambiance. The wifi is not that strong and you can’t sit up in the bunk beds. There is a €2 charge to use the luggage room after check out.

Great hostel, full of character! Friendly and helpful staff, great deal on dinner at the attached restaurant. Super convenient to visiting the Sol district and the palace and cathedral on foot or by train. Room spacious and bright, great facilities, our only objection that the "double" bed was actually two singles pushed together - not very conducive to snuggling up in bed! One tip - skip the 2€ breakfast deal unless you just want an easy meal; the breakfast was plentiful but pretty average compared with the amazing food to be found all over Madrid.

I booked a double room with private bathroom and shower. It's located on the first floor facing the terrace so it's very noisy at night. Location is excellent. One girl at front desk can speak pretty good English but the rest is a bit difficult to communicate with as most Spanish people don't speak English. If you don't mind the noise and crowds at reception, it's a cheaper central place to consider compared to hotels. If you need good sleep, go somewhere else. Shower and water is a pain in the butt - you have to keep pressing the buttons every 5-10 seconds. I will not return to this place.

Short stay with friends. Excellent value for price
