Great place to stay at a great location. At the very center of Madrid and very quiet (I had an internal room). Close to everything.| The room was great, looks new, clean and well maintained. Staff is great and friendly. There is a central dining area with courtesy water and snacks. The small thing that I would improve is that they give tiny bags of soap and shampoo, which is a bit of a hassle to deal with (on my last night they forgot to put new ones), instead of having a refillable bottle as in most places today.

Very conveniently located in central Madrid - all local sites walkable. Area around hotel is a little seedy, but not bad - there are a lot worse areas in Madrid. There is a great variety of restaurants and bars in the area.

Squeaky clean,ship shape hostel room with private bathroom proved perfect for our quick stay in Madrid. Has everything you need in small space. Very helpful and friendly staff went to great lengths to make us comfortable. Neighborhood has sights and sounds and tons of cafes but simple quiet and clean haven upstairs.

I stayed at Hostal Royal Cruz for 3 nights during my recent trip to Madrid, and I was very impressed. The location is unbeatable — you’re just a short walk from Puerta del Sol, Plaza Mayor, tons of shops, restaurants, and public transport. Despite being in the center, the room was quiet enough if you don’t get a street-facing window. The room was spotless every day; the bathroom was modern, shower had good pressure, bed was comfortable. The small extras really stood out: free Wi-Fi, complimentary water, tea, coffee & snacks available all day, and they even had a little kitchen area for heating something up. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful — from recommending places to visit to answering questions. For what you pay, this hostal offers outstanding value. If anything, the only minor issue was noise from street traffic when windows were open, but that’s common in central Madrid and didn’t spoil the stay. Overall, highly recommended. I’d definitely stay here again next time I’m in Madrid.

The room was very small. The bed very comfortable. You are on a main street with bars across the street & cars driving by all night. This building is four Hostel's on all the floors. They do have an elevator however when we arrived to check in it was out of order & had to haul the luggage up to the third floor. It was working by the time we returned from our evening out. This was perfect for our last night in Madrid.
