What guests think
Hospedería Santa Cruz offers a simple monastery stay in a stunning, very peaceful mountain setting, with many guests praising the unique atmosphere and views while noting the remote location and occasional difficulty finding the correct entrance.
Rooms are austere and basic, with small bathrooms and limited comforts, and several reviews mention no air conditioning and some dated features. Service is often described as friendly, but reception is limited or absent overnight, leading to access issues if you arrive late. Dining feedback is mixed: breakfast gets praise, while dinner can be a fixed, limited menu with variable quality and very set hours. Expect a no frills stay best for travelers who value the setting and can plan meals and arrival times.

Todo perfecto. Las instalaciones son suficientes, sobre todo en lo que respecta a las habitaciones, la ubicación es ideal en plena montaña y naturaleza, el restaurante variado y con platos de calidad, y todo el personal de la hospedería es amable, atento, simpático y profesional. Pienso repetir sin duda.

Se trataba de una habitación monacal, por lo tanto es un hospedaje sin lujos (no había gel ni champú) pero en un lugar espectacular y en un entorno natural precioso. Al margen de lo político o religioso, se trata de un lugar impresionante que merece la pena ser visitado. Quedarse a dormir en el monasterio ha sido una experiencia que, sin duda, repetiremos.

A good stay but it would have been better if the bar was open, not just at weekends and there was an option for the evening meal (which was OK but only just). The evening meal was "almost cold" seafood soup followed by "warm" salmon. No choice. We weren't even told about it. Staff were great and what made the visit extra special was the beautiful mass the following morning at 11:00. It says it's a 13 min walk but it's not, you need a car. Very weak wifi in the room and no aircon which would be a problem in the heat of the summer. Beautiful location and a nice stop but it needs a fair bit of work being done to it to make it a stunning stopover.

It was a nice surprise. The hotel was good enough for one night.clean and peaceful. It would be nice to have more info on the nearby area and on the history of the place. Having to go through the restaurant with the suitcase is not a good idea and there is enough space to separate the two.

A charming monastery hotel within the valley of the fallen. Simple rooms offer a taste of monastic life in the quiet beauty of the valley. Guests should be prepared for simple dining fare at fixed, very Spanish hours: 9 am breakfast and 8:30 dinner.

What an amazing location, finding it via sat -nav not good, instructions should read, enter via entrance to the Valley of the Fallen. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is an old monastery with wonderful character. Breakfast was good with a good choice, being remote, eating out in the evening not easy, so ate at the hotel, a limited fixed menu, quality was OK, but not excellent. I would definitely stay there again if in the area. I pre booked tickets for the Basilica, staying at the hotel gave free access, only 4 Euros so not a bank breaker. Very peaceful.

The architecture is amazing, between a castle and an abbey. Sadly, there is poor management. There are no qualified services like restaurants, restrooms, or customer service, but in the end, that keeps it less crowded.

a former monastery of great scale in a large campus in the mountain with black pine forest. the huge cross on the hill top is in the view from the room. although the decay on the exterior of the building is visible, the interior is well maintained. overall it gives you a unique experience.

Les conditions d'hébergement étaient moyennes, un peu spartiates mais les locaux étaient bien tenus. Cependant notre expérience au restaurant a été très mauvaise à cause de l'attitude inadmissible d'une serveuse qui nous a plantés là. Elle trouvait que notre choix n'était pas assez rapide alors que les plats commandés n'étaient plus disponibles. Je précise que nous sommes restés courtois. Nous avons dû attendre un bon moment avant qu'une autre se présente. Personnel débordé !

La hospedería ha vivido tiempos mejores. Las habitaciones son vetustas en todos los aspectos. El cuarto de baño pequeñísimo, imposible estar dos personas en el interior al mismo tiempo. Las camas una en una esquina y la otra en la otra esquina. Ruidosas. El pasillo una pesadilla: cada vez que alguien se movía por el pasillo entraba la luz en la habitación por una ventana situada encima de la puerta de entrada a la habitación. El genio que tuvo esa idea se merece un monumento. Para no repetir.

Como experiencia, excelente. Es una antigua abadía que solo con eso ya merece toda la pena! Las vistas geniales. La comodidad de las habitaciones y las camas es la justa, pero el resto compensa todo. Solo hay que estar MUY pendiente que el check-in es HASTA las 10 pm... no puedes llegar después... y no queda claro cuando reservas... Pero de resto, es que todo es tan bonito, que vale la pena hospedarse aquí!

Resultado: cuando regresé de madrugada, no pude entrar en la habitación. A pesar de ello, el sitio es monumental y merece la pena conocerlo. Habitaciones austeras pero cómodas y diferentes a lo que puedes encontrar en un hotel convencional. Disponen de un menú diario de 18€ muy bueno

Nadie del servicio se queda a dormir, si surge cualquier contratiempo, estáis solos. Nosotros estuvimos durante la última nevada y por la mañana no había nadie, no supimos a quien acudir aunque llamamos a la casa de enfrente a la hospedería. Tampoco nos llamaron por teléfon. Yo me dedico a hospedar a personas y sé que las cosas se deben hacer de otra manera. Se trata de una crítica constructiva para que se mejoren los servicios. El sitio espectacular

The architecture is amazing, between a castle and an abbey. Sadly, there is poor management. There are no qualified services like restaurants, restrooms, or customer service, but in the end, that keeps it less crowded.

I would definitely stay there again if in the area. I pre booked tickets for the Basilica, staying at the hotel gave free access, only 4 Euros so not a bank breaker. Very peaceful.
What an amazing location, finding it via sat -nav not good, instructions should read, enter via entrance to the Valley of the Fallen. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Aunque realmente no fue el motivo de mi viaje, es un sitio fantástico para evadirte del mundo. Eso sí, si lo que buscas es seguir en modo ON con el mundo, no te gustará por la falta de colectividad.

Hostel bien para precio y lo que se esperaba Solo saber que sin coche está muy aislado, y se necesita para salir a comer o tomar algo

a former monastery of great scale in a large campus in the mountain with black pine forest. the huge cross on the hill top is in the view from the room. although the decay on the exterior of the building is visible, the interior is well maintained. overall it gives you a unique experience.

Dining
Breakfast earns praise, while dinner tends to be a fixed, limited menu at strict hours with variable quality; there are few alternative dining options nearby.

Todo perfecto. Las instalaciones son suficientes, sobre todo en lo que respecta a las habitaciones, la ubicación es ideal en plena montaña y naturaleza, el restaurante variado y con platos de calidad, y todo el personal de la hospedería es amable, atento, simpático y profesional. Pienso repetir sin duda.

A good stay but it would have been better if the bar was open, not just at weekends and there was an option for the evening meal (which was OK but only just). The evening meal was "almost cold" seafood soup followed by "warm" salmon. No choice. We weren't even told about it. Staff were great and what made the visit extra special was the beautiful mass the following morning at 11:00. It says it's a 13 min walk but it's not, you need a car. Very weak wifi in the room and no aircon which would be a problem in the heat of the summer. Beautiful location and a nice stop but it needs a fair bit of work being done to it to make it a stunning stopover.

It was a nice surprise. The hotel was good enough for one night.clean and peaceful. It would be nice to have more info on the nearby area and on the history of the place. Having to go through the restaurant with the suitcase is not a good idea and there is enough space to separate the two.

A charming monastery hotel within the valley of the fallen. Simple rooms offer a taste of monastic life in the quiet beauty of the valley. Guests should be prepared for simple dining fare at fixed, very Spanish hours: 9 am breakfast and 8:30 dinner.

Les conditions d'hébergement étaient moyennes, un peu spartiates mais les locaux étaient bien tenus. Cependant notre expérience au restaurant a été très mauvaise à cause de l'attitude inadmissible d'une serveuse qui nous a plantés là. Elle trouvait que notre choix n'était pas assez rapide alors que les plats commandés n'étaient plus disponibles. Je précise que nous sommes restés courtois. Nous avons dû attendre un bon moment avant qu'une autre se présente. Personnel débordé !

The architecture is amazing, between a castle and an abbey. Sadly, there is poor management. There are no qualified services like restaurants, restrooms, or customer service, but in the end, that keeps it less crowded.

No me informaron que no había personal de recepción por la noche ni pude consultar con nadie cuando dejé la llave de la habitación al salir. Resultado: cuando regresé de madrugada, no pude entrar en la habitación. A pesar de ello, el sitio es monumental y merece la pena conocerlo. Habitaciones austeras pero cómodas y diferentes a lo que puedes encontrar en un hotel convencional. Disponen de un menú diario de 18€ muy bueno

Fantastic place, lots of energy around, long walk distance from the room to lobby and restaurant and parking, it is a huge place, so if you don’t love to walk be prepared because taking your luggage to the room is far away. The Basilica, the hotel and everything around is “magical”. The room is according to a monastery, no fancy beds or bathroom, but everything you need to enjoy this amazing place.

Amazing location with truly unique atmosphere. The history of the place is deeply complicated but it’s setting in combination with the structures make it extremely impressionable.
