Frommer's Review
The "mad" here really does mean "like crazy" and is not just an abbreviation of Madrid. It's a 21st-century version of the standard youth hostel format, enjoying a permanent party atmosphere and an ideal choice for younger travelers looking for a fun stay in the city. Located in a spacious 19th-century Lavapiés corrala -- a traditional building with communal terraces overlooking a central patio, complete with unexpected Mary Poppins-style rooftop views of old Madrid -- Madhostel provides basic, but sociable, rooms -- accommodating up to six persons -- with or without a private bathroom, and of mixed or single genders. The chummy insomniac staff makes sure you feel at home whatever the hour.
Facilities:
Bar; laundry; 24-hr. reception; free Internet and Wi-Fi; communal lounge and kitchen; flamenco stage for Spanish or pop shows

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
