In Bastardo Hostel there's two things we know with absolute certainty: we don't want to be just a hostel, and pizzas with pineapple shouldn't exist. As we prepare a long essay on the second, we are going to focus on the first in this post.
Not only do we offer you a room between Chueca and Malasaña and cultural events. We also make it easy for you to discover and explore Madrid with our walking tours (free tours) and pub crawls.
Free Tour Madrid
The best way to get to know a city is to walk around every corner of it and enjoy it as a local would. The best way to do this is to have it shown to you. With our city Tours in partnership with TOUR & FRIENDS (Spanish and English), you have the opportunity to join us for same fun tours where we explore Madrid by walking it with different perspectives.
The idea is not only to explore Madrid, the capital of Spain, but to understand it in a more historical way and a more contemporary way. With our different tours in Spanish and in English we will show you Madrid, from the most famous sites to its hidden corners as well as its prominent figures, and the most important facts about the capital.
MeetUp & Games
Coming to Madrid and still haven't met anyone? Don't worry, you cheeky bastard, we've got just the thing! At Bastardo Hostel, we believe travelling is about much more than discovering a new city. It's also about meeting people, sharing experiences and making friends in the most unexpected places. That's why we've created MeetUp & Games, our daily get-together where guests from all over the world can mingle, break the ice and have a bloody good time together.
Every day, we invite you to join us for a bit of fun, games, laughter, spontaneous conversations and new friendships. Whether you're travelling solo, as a couple or with your mates, there's always room for one more. We organise different games and activities so everyone can get involved, get to know each other and start making the kind of memories you'll be talking about long after your trip.
Every day at 9:00 pm
And the best part? IT'S FREE! Yes, you read that right, you little rascal. No exclusive club memberships, no hidden fees and not a single penny needed to have a great time.
We've also got everything you need to keep the fun going whenever you fancy. You'll find board games both at reception and in our kitchenette, where you can challenge fellow guests, discover new games or unleash your competitive side. Fancy something a little more laid-back? There's also a TV in the kitchenette, perfect for kicking back, enjoying some entertainment and sharing a good time with great company.
So leave your shyness in your room, head down to the communal areas and get chatting to your fellow adventurers. Because at Bastardo Hostel, strangers don't stay strangers for long, games can go on for hours and any night could turn into a bloody good story.
Pub Crawl in Malasaña
If you've already walked the whole city and the tourist areas don't hide any secrets from you, maybe it's time to take a step further in your Madrid experience...
It's time to party! Madrid is famous for its nightlife, and it's something you really shouldn't miss on your visit.That's why at Bastardo we organize pub crawls in Malasaña and Chueca with very international groups.
We have planned several routes through the most iconic and modern bars in the area. What is not planned is what the night will bring.
In Malasaña alone there are 600 bars, but in the pub crawl we don't go to everyone, we're sorry.
You can join our pub crawl by showing up in your fanciest clothes (actually, you can come casual) at our reception at 21:30. When? EVERY day! Mondays are the new Fridays, haven't you heard?
