The Central House is a great hostel, highly recommend. Front desk staff is inviting and helpful. Good location, very clean, modern, and comfortable (minus the pillow, too firm and large for me so I ended up using my fluffy blanket as the pillow). Great location, less than 10 min walk to Plaza Mayor and other touristy spots. They offer free walking tours at the front desk and discounted events like a flamenco show and pub crawl. There is a breakfast buffet and in house laundry for a fee. Don't forget to bring your lock and towel. My only gripe was I traveled from Barcelona to Madrid and was waiting on a confirmation for a room for one night, it took 24 hours for them to finally get back and declined my night stay because of availability, by then I had just arrived via train and had to frantically look for another place. It would have been nice if they got back within a few hours that way I could have planned another stay before I took my trip. Everything is good once your reservation is confirmed, but if you are waiting on the confirmation take caution.
