TOC Hostel and Suites Madrid

Location--EXCELLENT! Just meters from the heart of exciting Sol station. Very close walk to amazing Gran Via and Plaza Mayor. Lots of shopping and restaurants. If your looking for unlimited energy in your surroundings, this area has it all. Hostel itself is modernized. Beds are comfortable. Keyless entry to all secured areas. Doors to rooms and lobby are accessible by fingerprint scan only.

Great standard of decor, rooms were clean and inviting. The cardless, thumbprint door entry system seems to have improved since the last time I stayed. The inclusive breakfast was tasty and good value (though there was a slight problem when the receptionist fellow initially didn't realise I had booked a night with breakfast included in the price, but this was quickly sorted out). Location is great too, just around the corner from Sol Metro station. Thoroughly recommended.

Very comfortable, cheap and clean. Very nice breakfast included in room price (though the reception worker at first didn't realise I had booked a room with this already included. Though this was sorted out quickly). Great location too, a short walk from the nearest metro station.

Stayed 4 nights in a 4 bed dorm with an en-suite bathroom. Arriving from Barcelona, I was about an hour early for check-in, but the staff were really cool about it and let me check-in as the room was ready anyway. The room had A/C as expected and totally necessary considering the heat. It kept the room nice and cool and I had no trouble sleep with the thick blankets provided. Each bed comes with one electrical socket and “bag” to keep your stuff. The room and bathroom are cleaned magnificently, everyday. The kitchen facilities are excellent, plenty of cups, utensils, plates, a microwave and a fridge where you can stash your stuff. Plastic bags are provided for keeping food together and a pen to write your name on the bag. The kitchen, lounge and the entire hotel is kept fantastically clean. The cleaning staff are almost OCD about it, but kudos for that. Location wise, the hostel is only 2 minutes walk to the nearest metro station which is Sol. The hostel is practically on several of the major shopping thoroughfares in central Madrid, so eating, drinking and shopping will be no problem at all. There's also a El Cortes Ingles with a supermarket about two minutes walk if you prefer to stock up and eat at the hostel. Finally, I'd say the staff are a fantastic bunch. Friendly and helpful with any queries and requests.

Excellent.
