3 Madrid Hostels with a Rooftop Bar or Terrace

Madrid has three hostels where the roof is part of the stay, all within walking distance of the centre. The Hat Madrid, 150 metres from Plaza Mayor, runs a real rooftop bar with sunset views over the Palacio Real. Generator Madrid on Calle San Bernardo, one minute from Gran Vía metro, has a rooftop terrace with two hot tubs, while its bar with a daily DJ and happy hour sits in the lounge. Bastardo Hostel on Calle de San Mateo, between Malasaña and Chueca, adds a rooftop terrace with a view over the Malasaña skyline. Only one of them is a true rooftop bar, and I explain the difference below.

§ 01 — Traveler's take
“I would book The Hat Madrid for a rooftop stay in the city. Its bar on the roof catches the sunset over the Palacio Real, the design-led rooms include private twins with a balcony, and Plaza Mayor is 150 metres away. Our advice for a livelier stay is Generator Madrid, whose rooftop hot tubs and daily DJ suit a social trip.”
