"I stayed here in 2025 and I must say that I saw a huge improvement across the board at Hostel 165. It seems like some renovations may have been done. The staff were quite attentive and regularly cleaned the bathrooms, restocking toilet paper etc. There’s no longer a stove in the kitchen so there’s a lot less activity in a small area. The fridges are still overflowing and need to be cleaned down. Overall, I do recommend that Hostel 165 is a good option when staying in this area of Madrid."

Excellent location. On the main street with shops and restaurants. Near the cathedral. Fairly quiet. Nice, small wine bar downstairs. Breakfast place across from front door. Code access worked great. We had the triple room. 3rd bed was a futo with mattress on top. Would stay again!

Manager Paula is very friendly and helpful.
Love the breakfast. Spacious building with sunny, airy hallways. Fun, personalized rooms with distinctive decoration of books. You don't want to leave the place. So much to read!

Stayed as a family of four with a 9 and 12 year old. For the price, you cannot beat this place. I would recommend staying here to anyone. They even responded to our concern prior to our arrival and they were so thoughtful in their response.

Great hostel located in the heart of Madrid. Friendly staff and a somewhat small number of beds meant that everyone got to know fellow travelers and had a great time.
