The Hat exceeded my expectations on what I thought a hostel would be like in Madrid. I hadn’t stayed at a hostel in many years and this was a very pleasant experience. Very clean facilities (they are cleaned consistently), comfortable beds, fast Wi-Fi and tons of commons areas for working or relaxing. Cheap but good breakfast buffet and coffee offered daily. Free water in the lobby. Rooftop bar area is beautiful. This was a pleasant and easy experience for me!
