Located in Madrid and with Atocha Train Station reachable within 200 metres, LATROUPE Prado Hostel provides a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a bar. This property is set a short distance from attractions such as Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, Puerta de Toledo, and Puerta del Sol. Guests can have a drink at the snack bar.

I stayed in 4 bedroom female dorm. Beds are super comfy, curtains were not there as in pictures but still that was not a problem at all. Staff is very helpful, always ready to help. Full building is newly renovated and it is one of best hostels I have ever stayed. There are plenty of space even if you want to work from there and it is so well located that you can get buses or metro any direction of the city. Bathrooms and showes are in the room. So you only have to share it with your roommates and not with the rest of the hostel. Which is obviously good side of it. But sometimes when you are up early or going to bed late when you use toilet or bathroom you might make more noise that expected in shared rooms but well I guess overall it was so good that does not even makes a big trouble.

I liked that I used to stay at youth hostels in the past and though this is shared by many more people, the curtains give privacy and independence. The mattress was of good quality and sheets/pillow/cushion - clean and tidy. The shared toilets & kitchen area was TOPS.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.
