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.

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.

Central, basic, very clean

While it was small and basic, the room was very cozy and quiet, and we slept amazingly well. All was new, all was clean. Service in the reception was efficient and nice. Location is as central as it gets. You basically get down and you're just in the center of Madrid. Great experience.

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.

Muy buena relación calidad/precio. La habitación es pequeña, pero la cama, limpieza y el personal son excelentes. Como perece ser en en Madrid, el hostal está en un segundo piso. Además están arreglando la calle, pero los autos llegan hasta una esquina muy cerca de la entrada.
