We loved this hotel. It is minimal as far as service, of course ($55E) but very clean, safe and comfortable. The previous post said most of what I would have to say-- loved the free wifi and internet etc. Rooms were small but not tiny. The little balcony/window looks out over a nice little square that is busy but pretty... more

Hostal Cruz Sol is my favorite place to stay in Madrid! I have been studying in Spain for several summers and I always stay here the night or two before my flight back home. This year, my husband traveled with me and he loved the hotel, too! The rooms are small by North American standards, but they are clean and... more

My husband and I stayed 5 nights at this hotel at the end of April . What I like the most is the location. It is very close to the metro station (2 blocks) and within walking distance to the main attractions. The price is also very good (we paid 55 euros per night). The room was small but very... more

My girlfriend and I spent two nights at this hotel and we thought it was absolutely fab. The location is great, the rooms are super clean and at 55 euros per night, it was a pearler of a deal. The hostal was only 30 seconds away from Plaza Mayor, 1 minute away from Sol metro stop and 3 minutes away... more

If you don't wanna spend too much and visit Madrid easily, this is a great choice. This hostal is splitted between first and third floor of a very central building, right in the streets of the "movida", but not so noisy. Essential and very clean rooms with private and functional bathroom for just 28 euro per person in a double,... more

My husband and I recently stayed here for 5 nights in mid-April for a great rate of 60 euros per night. The hotel is very centrally located near Puerta del Sol and a few minutes’ walk from the Sol Metro station. Another reviewer’s directions were perfect for locating the hotel from that point. The hotel faces Plaza de Santa Cruz... more

On the plus side - good location and very cheap. On the downside - poky rooms and bathrooms, rude staff. Our first impressions of this hotel were not good as the front door was locked and no one would answer the door bell. We finally got in as someone else was coming out but had a similar experience up on... more

The hostal is very centrally located and the rooms are clean but can vary a lot in size. I reserved directly with the hostel by email (in Spanish) two months in advance and confirmed my booking two weeks before going, specifying that I would like a room with a view of the square. However, we were put in a tiny... more
