The Hat Madrid

Super fedt sted. Et af de billige men også et af de mest cool steder. Det ligger centralt og der er ikke langt til metroen. Tæt på shopping, Marcado de san miguel, Sol samt forskellige spisesteder og barer. Der er også mulighed for at købe egen mad og opbevare i køleskabet i "the Cave" kælderen. Fedt sted. Også en lækker tagterrasse med bar. De har pub-crawls næsten hver aften samt travelers meeting så man kan møde andre fra hostellet. Kan kun anbefale. Der var både unge, lidt ældre, børnefamilier og lidt ældre.

I was really looking forward to my stay at The Hat but was disappointed. First off, I booked a 4 person female dorm. It was not female when I arrived which was quickly corrected. It was a 6 person dorm though. The beds only have a very thin, rough sheet (bring your own blanket). I thought the rooftop bar would be nice but being the floor below it was not nice. Every night it was extremely loud and could hear tables/ chairs moving. This felt less like a hostel and more like a hotel. The only real common space is the kitchen area which is less than impressive in itself. There is no stovetop and only a small refrigerator. You can basically use this area to reheat food but not cooking. There’s not much opportunity for socializing with other guests. Due to the rooftop bar there’s a lot of people in and out for that. All that being said, the staff was nice. It’s clean and well kept. The sangria event for socializing was good but that’s really the only opportunity to socialize with other guests.

First time in Madrid and hostel was excellent. Very clean and tidy and has load of activities
