Onefam Sungate, hotel in Madrid

Sungate Hostel is located in the very center of Madrid, 689 feet from Puerta del Sol and 5 minutes' walk away from Callao metro station and Gran Vía Avenue. Free WiFi access is available.

This hostel was one of my favorite places I’ve ever stayed at anywhere. Hands down best hostel ever. It’s in a great location central to everything. It is accessed with a pin code so you don’t have to worry about forgetting a key. The room was nice with a cute balcony and view. The kitchen was adequate and there were free group dinners hosted daily which were delicious and such a great way to get to know the staff and other travelers. Afterwards there were activities like pub crawls scheduled which were fun too! All of the workers were so so so kind and helpful and we befriended so many of them and hope to meet again! As soon as we checked in Angel gave us a detailed overview of Madrid and all of his recommendations. One thing about Angel is that he remembered everyone’s name which is not only impressive given the amount of people he must meet, but also just so kind and caring! If I’m ever back in Madrid I will 100% be staying there and you should too!

    The location is very central, the hostel seems very secure, very quiet and I felt very safe. It was clean, much nicer than I expected, the entrance hallway when you walk into the main hostel area is a treat. This was my first time staying in a hostel with other people and bunk beds in 20 odd years, and it was great to meet and speak to other people.

I had my own bathroom, fridge, safe, air conditioning, TV, Wi-Fi. Staff is nice and helpful. Also grocery shop Dia is just near by. Definitely recommend for budget oriented traveler who just needs to spend a few nights in the very center. They have rooms for different budgets also.

The rooms were spacious and clean and the beds were comfy, all facilities working perfectly. The hostel is in a great location all round and there’s a really welcoming atmosphere as they arrange lots of group activities and dinners so you feel settled in straight away. Would recommend to anyone, especially if you’re a female solo traveller as it feels very safe!
