Fodor's Expert Review Bastardo Hostel
Calle de San Mateo 3, Madrid, Spain Fodor's Choice
Whether you're a solo traveler looking to make friends or a cash-strapped couple (or group of friends) trying to do Madrid on a budget, consider holing up at Bastardo, a designer hostel with communal and private rooms that doubles as a cool-kid hangout. Steps from all the action in Chueca and Malasaña, it has industrial-chic rooms with funky backlighting and exposed brick; upgraded digs add wrap-around balconies.
PROS
- Tours, activities, concerts, and more
- Pulsing rooftop bar
- Buzzy young vibe
CONS
- Rooms near the rooftop are noisy at night
- Not always squeaky clean
- Windows don't open (and the AC is weak in some rooms)
