bake your potatoes in the fire place at night, it is so fun.

It may not be the best place to sleep, but i found it the best place to know people from ALL AROUND THE WORLD. 20 people a room, sleepless nights with lots of noises, but once you get accustomed to it, you will be ok(you'll either be too tired to be annoyed by the noises or give up sleeping). There's a tiny dining place where virtually no cookery functions alright. Despite it all, you can share your food that was bought from those supermercados nearby with your mates or absolute strangers.

Its location is faily good, just couple blocks from the riverside, 5 min walk from the city center - Plaza Mayor, very very close to Gran Via where there are loads of clubs and bars.
