I was surprised by how well put together The Hat was when I arrived. You can tell Alfonso put a ton of work into making every detail of The Hat a comfortable place for guests. There's a cool basement for breakfast in the morning and a bar on the bottom floor and the terrace at the top of the building which is open til 1am. Beds were clean and comfortable. I got along well with everyone else I visited there and the location is perfectly placed in the very center of Madrid next door to La Plaza Mayor, many restaurants, grocery stores and other shops. Overall I'd highly recommend this place.
