Hostel in central Madrid next to Puerta del Sol, with shared and private rooms, a rooftop terrace and communal spaces to relax.

Room types

Barbieri Sol Hostel offers beds in mixed shared dormitories with four or six beds, as well as private rooms for two, three, four or six people. Some categories have a private bathroom and others a shared bathroom, so you can choose between more privacy and a stay in shared spaces. Room sizes range from 16 to 25 m²; the family and quadruple options have more capacity than the double rooms.

Air conditioning and heating are available in the different room types. Beds in the shared dormitories are arranged as bunk beds; rooms for two people have either a double bed or single beds, depending on the category. Some rooms include a fan and bed linen, and all upper floors are reached by stairs. The range of options lets you choose between an individual bed, a simple room for two or larger spaces for travelling as a group.
