We had such a great stay at the Royal Cruz! I do warn, it is on a busy street, so expect noise. But it is incredibly walkable and the staff were amazing!
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.
Very good location. Near Sol station and plaza. Lots of restaurants, shopping and sightseeing all within 15 ‘mins walk. lovely private room with a balcony.
Kitchen area with coffee machine and microwave to make own food. Very clean. Terrific friendly staff.
Really glad I chose this hotel.
Will definitely stay again.
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.
Rooms are totally renovated, clean. Staff courteous and willing to help with questions or directions. Help call for taxi. Hostel was in center of madrid. Easy walk to main places and museums. Would recommend 👌
Brilliant location. Excellent value. Extremely helpful and accommodating staff. Very pleased with our stay. A big thank you to Rosa and Luca for making us feel so welcome.
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.
Centrally located, clean, efficient rooms in the center of Madrid. Close to transit, or walk to most major sites. The staff are really helpful and kind!
Even when the rooms are a little small, the property in general was very clean and the staff super friendly. In general was a good experience and the property is located near to the majority of the principal attractions.
