I'm not sure that there are albergues in Madrid, but there are hostels. And note that it is albergue, with an L, not aubergue

Take your pick of hostels...

We stayed at U Hostel. Cheapest. High standard. Communal areas. Clean showers/toilets. Bar and food available if you want. Supermarket nearby. Central.

I stayed at Hostal Las Musas. It was well situated and good facilities, but I felt 50 years too old! So....

I met someone last year who had stayed there and said it was very nice. I just checked out its address and see that it's near a metro stop, Barrio del Pilar. Not in a central location, but the Madrid metro is a great system.

For anyone walking the Camino de Madrid, this place would be an easy walk to the Plaza de Castilla, which is where some people start. But if you wanted to start at the church, getting to Sol on the metro would not be that difficult, but would require a few changes.

If you want an albergue in Madrid, I'd take this place hands down over any of the youth hostels located in more central and more charming parts of the city. The typical youth hostel resident has very different nocturnal habits than your average pilgrim.
