Can't beat the location just off Sol. Smaller street, so not as noisy. Very clean room. Staff was super helpful. Would definitely stay again.

The location was great, the room was spotless, the staff was amazing! Lots of thanks to the staff of Hostal Royal Cruz for making our stay in Madrid great. I'll definitely come again in Madrid and I'll definitely stay again at Hostal Royal Cruz!
The location was perfect. The room was clean. The bathroom was nice. The bed was comfortable. The coffee in the morning and snacks were a great addition. I would definitely recommend this place and stay here again.
This hostel was very nice and exceptionally clean. The staff were kind and welcoming, and the location was absolutely superb—everything was within walking distance, making it perfect for exploring the city and enjoying the nightlife.
The only downsides for us were that the walls seemed quite thin, so we could hear conversations from other rooms, and the mattress was a bit too firm for our comfort.
That said, because of the amazing location and cleanliness, I would still highly recommend this place, especially for travelers looking to experience the city and be close to all the historical local.

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.
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!
Perfect location for getting around downtown Madrid. Easy access to Sol subway station. Lots of food and drink options. Staff are very kind. Hostel is absolutely spotless! Would highly recommend.
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.
