Very nice, but way too hot for me
Nice people, nice room, but air conditioning didn’t work and my room was like an oven. I could not sleep. Breakfast was meagre a coffee, a juice and a croissant but it only cost 4.70 euros. Everything was lovely, just a shame that the roasting room spoilt the stay

Disliked: Room comfort
Nice location, but service is an issue
The room I requested, was given to some other person. The person at the front desk was nice, but unable to really solve things. The location was nice, they just have to make sure you get what you paid for! Twin is a twin bed, queen is a queen bed, (2 people). Make sure you call before arriving, you might just have a smoking room if you request a non smoking

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Very central for castle and the old town.
I am happy to say that I do not recognise some of the negative comments that I read about this hotel. We were served by the kindest staff, had a good made to order breakfast with freshly squeezed orange juice, excellent dinners and free parking. The room was adequate, the bathroom very good. My only moan would be that I prefer a duvet over blanket and sheet.

First stop on El Camino
This was our first place we book while walking a section of the El Camino. The place was very clean. Very nice bathrooms. Had a little cafe to have breakfast before heading out in the morning. Would recommend.
