Madhostel

Frommer's Review

The "mad" here really does mean "like crazy" and is not just an abbreviation of Madrid. This jet-age version of the old youth-hostel format is an ideal choice for younger travelers looking for a fun stay in the city, with a permanent party atmosphere. Located in a spacious 19th-century corrala building in the heart of Lavapiés, with a high terrace offering unexpected Mary Poppins-style rooftop views of old Madrid, it provides basic but sociable rooms accommodating up to six persons with or without private bath and of mixed or single genders. The chummy insomniac staff make sure you feel at home whatever the hour.

Facilities:
