Youth Hostels in Madrid

Come experience the Spanish lifestyle in the beautiful city of Madrid! Madrid is sure to captivate you with its architecture, art and way of life. Plus, once you arrive in your cheap hotel or youth hostel, traveling around town won’t be a problem as the Madrid metro, your feet, or a bicycle can easily get you anywhere. Madrid is a city made up of multiple plazas so explore the city and enjoy some of the cafes for coffee, tapas, paella, or “Menu del dia” for a good priced, great tasting lunch. You will be located near your cheap hotel or youth hostel so during siesta time you can rest up too and be ready to party like the Spanish as 3:30 am is considered still early. On your way back to your budget accommodation, if you require a taxi just motion to one on the street rather than calling ahead--sure to save you some money on the meter. Head to the tourist office to find out what type of specials Madrid has for tourists--anything from discount cards, recommendations, and local events--they are sure to be happy to help. Or maybe you are interested in checking out Craigslist online as many Madrid locals love their city and want to share their knowledge at the low cost of you helping them with their English. And be courteous, learn how to say “do you speak English?” in Spanish as English is not very prevalent; so have your Spanish-English dictionary handy. Madrid is also central to some great, least traversed cities such as Avila, Toledo, and more. They are the perfect distance for day trips to capture the full beauty of inner and outer Madrid and Spain in general. Madrid hostels provide you with a good selection of simple and cheap accommodation. Be it just a bed in a dormitory, a double room or a single room sharing the bathroom and many hostels even have a few rooms with en-suite shower.
