The Castle of Lions
More than just the headquarters of Voltron and the royal residence, I imagine the Castle of Lions' functions further as the seat of government - it's buzzing with activity, not an empty shell of a castle with only a handful of staff and the Voltron force.
Granted it was like this at the start. I'd think after a year or two of the Voltron pilots' arrival, Arus has gotten its act together and has a semblance of normalcy. Young men would want to defend their planet by becoming a royal guard or join the army, the women want to be of use and serve in the castle to help feed and tend to their brave young men.
I would suppose that the Castle would be divided into levels or wings. Allura's apartment is in the east wing, the royal residence. The boy's quarters, guards, and army barracks are in the North nearest to the Castle Control, turrets and hangar bays. So yes, in cases of emergency, it would take a while for the guys to reach Allura's room. West is dedicated for offices and South for more general purpose & recreation.
Going through the levels, underground is where most of the background staff work are, the catacombs, electrical, machinery, etc. First couple of levels are the most public of places and gets more private as you go higher.
Guards are stationed in strategic places, there's always staff attending to something. So as our Voltron force walks the corridors they would have people saluting to them or curtsying to the Princess.
The Castle of Lions is alive, the heart of Arus, symbolic of the strength, courage and tenacity of a people longing for peace.
