Comme c’est une auberge de jeunesse pas évident de faire respecter le silence dans le dortoir. Il y a des rideaux pour l’intimité et de bons casiers sécuritaires sous les lits. Très dommage que certains parlent au téléphone la nuit. J’avais demandé de réserver le lit du bas et ce à trois reprises mais message pas reçu ou considéré. On m’a déplacé le lendemain. Excellent petit déjeuner matelas confortable et bien organisé.

Too "petit" for comfort

I wouldn't recommend this place. The sleeping space was uncomfortable to begin with. I had to sleep sideways on my bed because I couldn't fit properly, and I'm not even that tall! Also, a lot of the light bled through the curtains which, when you add all the noise and bad smells, made it kind of unbearable. The room floor, the shower and toilet spaces were also pretty confined; there is barely any space to move in there or to put your belongings. I kid you not, this place made me wish I was sleeping on the streets of Madrid, or on the bench of a nearby park. Please, do yourself a favor and don't sacrifice your comfort for location or convenience, it's just not worth it, especially with so many options nearby.
