This hostel is gorgeous first of all, the decor and architecture is amazing. The beds are comfy and clean. There was a great bar with good drink specials and as a solo traveller I found the vibe was awesome to quickly make friends. Walking distance to all the good stuff to see - highly recommend :) More

Amazing architecture really adds to this cute hostel, great prices, and drink deals, the service was always great. A kitchen would be a good addition and cheaper vending machines. Above all the noise, all rooms are off the central patio or beside bathrooms. The doors are very slim and do not soundproof at all!! After 4 nights i think i... More

It's one of the best Hostels in the world. I might be exagerating, but I had for sure the best time ever there. It is a beautifull old building with amazing architecture details inside. There's a bar downstairs, beers are cheap, internet is available. I did not like my trip to spain at all, exept when I stopped there... Once... More

A gorgeous place! You get what you pay for, and at Cat's you'll have some indifferent service at times, but it's beautiful, well located, and adequate. It needs wifi, however, and if you plan to go out on a planned night event (such as a pub/restaurant tour), don't be surprised if it's delayed or cancelled due to low numbers. What... More

Top 10 reasons not to stay at this hostel: 1. Unless you want a very painful case of bedbugs, do not stay here 2. Unless you like cold showers, do not stay here 3. Unless you like wearing a jacket, hat, mitts, and snow pants, do not stay here 4. Unless you like rude, unaccomodating staff, do not stay here... More

But in the middle of winter, freezing your feet off to go to the bathroom can make you second-guess your decision. The rooms were quite secure (so secure we sometimes had trouble getting into them ourselves), and there were lockers, which was a plus. But if you're planning to access the internet, be sure to take a jacket, because thanks... More

We were a party of 11, and if you are going to stay here you have to be open minded... very good value for money, the rooms are more than enough for rest a few hours, the only problem was that at the time we stayed there ( 18th to 21st January ) they were renovating the hostel, so during... More

You could do a lot worse than this cheap hostel that's in the middle of everything. It's a good 15 minute walk to Atocha Station, 10 minutes to the Plaza Mayor, and around the corner from a small supermarket (Dia). This place is built in airy Southern Spain style with screens on the door and a roofed courtyard in the... More

I stayed in this hostel with 9 friends. We had a good experience, yes the dorms were cramped, the sheets were not the cleanest, and the toilets were basic- but to be honest its not bad for £14 /night! They put on a free disco one night with free paella for residents- which again was ok. The central seating area... More
