Hostal El Cruce

Pretty close to airport! They have a shuttle. Convenient.

Hard to find public transportation in this suburb of Madrid! We took a bus and ended up getting lost. When we arrived we did call shuttle and they told us it would be another 1.5 hrs before they would pick up. So we took an Uber instead. Part of the reason for staying was the shuttle, so that part was disappointing. Seems perfect for single travelers or someone who just wants to rest before next flight. Not ideal for heading into city center as Ubers get expensive and bus and metro were not super clear; bus drivers in that area were not the friendliest. I speak Spanish I can only imagine someone who does not having a hard time.

Everything was as expected. Room size is great for two people, beds were comfortable, bathroom and shower as well, Wi-Fi was good. It's an amazing option if you just need a place to sleep close to the airport. Their shuttle service worked perfectly and was amazing for us. Nothing to complain.

The experience itself was exactly what we expected. Just keep in mind the properly is located in a business area outside the city, so there's not much nearby really. For food/drinks you can easily get a lot of stuff delivered there and the staff will help you in the front desk if you need it, so it's not actually a problem, just a note to keep in mind :)

The transfer and location

We had to ask for bath towels. Also needs better noise isolations as we could hear everything and everyone could hear our baby

It was clean and very convenient to get the ride from and to the airport

We couldn’t have a shower because the hot water didn’t work but nobody told us anything about this. We only spent the night and it was very frustrating not being able to at least have a shower in the morning specially when it wasn’t cheap.
