Located near the center of Madrid, about 15 minutes walk from Puerta del Sol,  Pop Hostel is a good choice for any backpacker traveling on the budget.

I’ve been in Madrid for 4 days, this October, with my girlfriend.

We found Pop Hostel  on HostelWorld.com.  We got convinced by the low price and the high rating( 77%) and we’ve booked a double room for three nights. 

We hoped more from this hostel, but we got exactly what our money’s worth.

My rating for Pop Hostel is 7 out of 10.

Pros:

• The staff was nice and helpful;
• The breakfast was decent: toast, butter, milk, cereals and coffee;
• Reasonable priced;
• The location is pretty good, there are a lot of  local restaurants and bars around;
• 15minutes walk to the city center, Puerta del Sol;
• 3 minutes to the nearest Subway station(Tribunal);
• Free WiFi. Even in our room;

Cons:

• It’s located next to a fish store and  the building hallway smells like fish so bad(not in the hostel though);
• The double room is small. The shower cabinet in the room was the smallest I’d ever seen;
• We did not have a feeling of cleanness;
• The hostel needs a general cleaning/uplifting;

Overall, it was good enough considering the money we payed. But, next time I’ll visit Madrid, I will search for a different hostel.
