OUR COMMON AREAS
PATIO
Now it’s not ALL partying. We also have art. The heart of our hostel is actually a breathtakingly spectacular 17th century Arab-Andalusian style patio, with a stunning fountain right in the middle. Our courtyard patio is, in fact, a protected historical heritage site in this city. It’s our chill haven within the madness of Madrid… except when we throw our legendary sangria parties, that is!
BAR
The Cats Hostel Madrid Sol Bar is the hostel meeting point – where the magic happens! Fun people from all over the globe, gathered at one bar. Our staff is there to give you only the best food and drinks. Spanish sangria, Madrid beer and our special shots do the trick in creating an awesome atmosphere. Essential for the best youth hostels in Madrid.
THE CAVE
Welcome to the dark side! The Cats Hostel Madrid Sol Cave is another surprise up our sleeve. No other hostel has anything that comes close. It’s a chill out zone by day, and a club at night! To get you started for an amazing night out in Madrid, we organize concerts, flamenco shows, speed dating, jamming sessions and themed parties. And to top it all off… Pub crawl time! Remember, what happens in the cave…

“Unbeatable hostel. The experience was a 10 out of 10. Super clean rooms with plenty of storage space for your belongings, bathrooms also spotlessly clean, it was a pleasure to shower there. Very good location, I walked everywhere.”
