8Verified guest“I loved the convenient location of Far Home Plaza Mayor. It was just a short walk from Tirso de Molina square, with its charming bars and a metro stop. The Plaza Mayor and shops were also within easy reach. The hostel itself was beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean, creating a vibrant atmosphere. The kitchen area was a great place to socialize with other guests, and the facilities for food and drinks were excellent. The receptionist was kind enough to hold our bags, and the shared bathrooms were immaculate with lovely showers. I highly recommend this hostel for its excellent location, cleanliness, and value for money.”
