    Great location, very clean and well run hostel. The beds are very comfy (with two pillows!!) and offer great privacy. Staff are very accommodating and friendly. The bar on the roof terrace is a great place to relax and meet fellow travellers.

    Excellent location in Madrid to the city center, royal palace and La Latina! The staff were very kind and friendly.

    Location

    If they lock the shower there’s no toilet in the room so you will have to run down to the basement to use a toilet every time. Also they promote balcony in the room for 8 though there was not such thing.Also as tourists are not liked lately in Spain, I heard reception talking about good and bad bed locations and how they arrange them into those ones.Very sad.

    10WaynePosted on: 1-15-2026

    Very nice location, short walk to Metro and sites. Breakfast was very good at a great price. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean.

    The private bathroom in the room was a combined shower/toilet. Once occupied for a shower, it took a while and then everything was wet.

    10Fatma S.Posted on: 12-28-2025

    I loved everything in this hostel that’s the first time staying at a hostel and I can’t imagine the better option than this one :) the staff was amazing especially Manuela was the best person for me during my stay however all of the receptionists are very amicable people. I loved sangria workshop too and Abdullah is the master of sangria ☺️is very very friendly person, thank you so much guys if I am back to Madrid again no doubts that I will be there ☺️???

    I have stayed at The Hat many times in the past 3 years. Love the Sangria making. Staff is great, location is great. Bed are comfy, rooms are clean. But wow, the price has really gone up for a dorm room! I know everything has gotten more expensive but a dorm bed for $75 is a lot! I wish they offered discounts for repeat visitors.

    Amazing location and great staff.

    Bathroom needs ventilation, as there is mold smell and you can see it on the walls as well.

    10IlianaPosted on: 12-10-2025

    Great location, you can walk everywhere in the center. Clean and comfortable.

    Location and the staff

    Breakfast could have more varieties. Everyday is the same food.

    10ArturoPosted on: 12-4-2025

    From the moment we arrived to the Hat we felt welcomed. Gorka and the staff make you feel right at home. We had some personal inconveniences and he helped us fix them and get with our trip. The facilities and activities were great. The city tour and guide were great and very informative. I would recommend this place to all my friends. Thank you.

    For a hostel, the place is very comfortable and clean. The price was high for a shared dorm room but the central location is probably the reason for that.

    9FernandoPosted on: 11-24-2025

    Very friendly staff, good breakfast and great location. The bar on the roof was also very nice though a bit expensive. Everyday walking tours start from the hostel at 2 different hours. The commodities near the hostel are great, restaurants, supermarkets and tourist attractions.

    The room I was on was very small so if other guest were also up it was a bit awkard and cramped moving around and because of that any noise at night is really loud. The beds also were not the most comfortable.

    10raymondPosted on: 11-20-2025

    What's not to like. I have stayed there 6 or 7 times. It is my go to hostel in Madrid hands down.

    10EmilyPosted on: 11-13-2025

    The stay was great! The room was spacious, and had plenty of storage for your luggage and personal belongings. There were lockers and hooks in the room and a shelf, a couple of hooks, and a plug with some usb plug-ins as well. The bathroom was nice, with a good shower, and stocked well with toilet paper and soap for washing hands. The location was great, close to Plaza Mayor and within walking distance to the metro.

    10McGeePosted on: 11-9-2025

    It was close to the train system and the historical district. The staff made us feel welcome immediately. The common area was very accessible and well kept. They had a restaurant upstairs on the rooftop that was very convenient and reasonable with good food. They offered a workshop in making Sangria, which I thought was a great community building offer, even though I was too tired to take part. There were locks offered for the personal storage areas. It was friendly, safe and comfortable stay that I would highly recommend.

    Great location and the girls I shared the room with were really nice. The bed was comfortable, but unfortunately, something bit me during the night.

    I got bitten by something during the night, which left me with red and itchy welts.
