This hostal is very, very basic. Pros: Clean and a decent location. Cons: Tiny, very hot room. The hostal is not air conditioned, the window did not open, and there was not a fan. As a result, the room was very hot. I can't imagine staying here in the summer. The staff was generally missing. There is not a common... more

The location is great and the price is cheap, however I will never stay here again. First off, it is very noisy at night. My boyfriend and I wanted to drain out the street noise with our air-conditioner, but we couldn't. Although the hotel does have air-conditioners, they were not functioning. But the main reason we will not return is... more

The Hostal Cruz Sol is located on the Plaza Santa Cruz just one block from Plaza Mayor. The location is perfect! In selecting a neighborhood in Madrid keep in mind that the hotels around the Prado Museum are very elegant and expensive similiar to 5th Ave. in New Yrork, and the Puerto del Sol and Gran Via locations are very... more

This was a super hotel for the nights we spent in Madrid - it was close to everything we wanted to see and had a great selection of nighttime entertainment nearby as well. It was clean, convenient and the staff were very nice too. We were able to get a room for three with one bathroom in the room as... more

Stayed here due to reviews on TA. Was a little apprehensive since so inexpensive & 'hostal' catagory but very pleasantly surprised. It really is fantastic value, new pine furniture, smart bathroom, quiet - but very convenient location to all major sights. Easy access to plenty of breakfast options nearby[as hostal means no breakfast 'in house'] & coffee/tea machine in foyer.... more

All r 5 star reviews about the Hostal here are true! We had an overnight in Madrid and wanted to be in the Old City. This was the perfect location to explore and have a nice clean room for sleep and shower. BUT, the taxi from the airport is now 36 euros!!! not 20 as advertised. more

My mom and I traveled stayed at Hostal Cruz Sol for 3 nights in March 2009. The hostal is conveniently located near Plaza Mayor and literally down the street from Puerta Del Sol. The location just can't be beat! The hotel/room is clean, staff is friendly (showed us to a super market), and price is just right. There is also... more

Great value room-only pension in a wonderful central location just yards from Plaza Mayor on a small side-square, just 2 mins walk from Sol metro. Located on 3rd floor in a nice building. Very clean. Good en-suite shower room. Friendly staff. Easy 24-hr access via secure swipe-card system. Quieter than expected due to location! Only minor downside was couldn't make... more

This hostal has a great location. It is just a few minutes walk from Plaza de la Puerta del Sol includng the Sol metro station which means that it has good transport links to all of the city. It is also just a minutes walk from Plaza Mayor and all the bars and restaurants that are located there. Indeed many... more
