Students Hostel Luis Velez
Luis Velez was a Spanish writer from the 17th century, and now his name is attached to the Students Hostel Luis Velez in Madrid. One imagines he would be happy with that development. The hostel is in the city center, a short walk from most of Madrid’s main sights, including the Prado Museum, Reina Sofia Museum and Royal Palace. The Huertas district is close by, and is overflowing with excellent bars, night clubs and discos. The hostel is also only a 20 minute bus ride away from the university, so is a good option for students – as the name indicates.
The rooms at Students Hostel Luis Velez have only two to four beds in them, so even the biggest shared rooms are not crowded or noisy. The rooms make use of shared bathroom facilities. The hostel is on a quiet side street and can be difficult to find (there is no gigantic neon sign pointing the way), but that only makes it a hidden gem in Madrid. In the future, the hostel will likely be able to host more people, but for the moment you will be one of only a few people enjoying the amenities in this hostel.
Some of the amenities you will find at Students Hostel Luis Velez are:
- Free linens (towels available)
- Free internet access and WiFi
- Guest kitchen and laundry facilities
- Luggage storage and security lockers
- No curfew or lockout
Students Hostel Luis Velez is ideal for people who are staying in Madrid long-term, either as students or just as people passing through. You will need to bring along your student ID to check in, however, even if you are not currently in school, as it is mainly a student facility. The hostel features perks for people who stay longer than two weeks, including free use of the kitchen.
You might wonder how, in an exciting city like Madrid, anyone could get any school work done – but it happens. In between the visits to discos, tapas bars and flamenco shows, you will likely find a little bit of time to study. Students Hostel Luis Velez will provide the perfect quiet little corner that you need to hunker down and really get some work done – as well as a great central location so you can celebrate when you are finished!
