The location of this property is outstanding. The property itself could use a little TLC but is certainly functional as it is. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly, but only one of four that I spoke to was able to speak English fluently. As such, we were unable to understand what amenities were available and how to use them. The rooms are fine but small and a little cramped. The overall value of the stay was very good.

Our room was clean and tidy with a fantastic view of the monastery. It gets very noisy down in the street below esp at night. The common areas and the dining room are dark and quite gloomy.

Well organized hotel only one block from the famed Spanish monastery. No amenities and hotel's restaurant kept strange hours if opening. Lots of nearby food establishments, however.

Staff were brilliant and im sure we had the best room. The view was great. Thank you.

No air conditioning and the fridge didn’t work, food and drink went bad. So be prepared for a very hot stay if you decide to stay here. Also, no shampoo in the bathroom, they just put hand soap in the shower.

We loved the place!

Very nice older hotel across from Monastery; however, be aware if you are traveling by car: very crowded narrow one way streets with parallel parking, no hotel parking garage, street parking a challenge at best times. There is some parking garages but not close to hotel 15-32 euros/day if you can find. You must park and register together so it took over 1 hour to finally catch a car leaving to park 2 blocks away. Our room was very reasonably priced, beautiful, and spacious facing monastery with 4 large windows we opened for beautiful views south.

Great hotel right across from the main sites. Though it’s an older hotel it’s kept in good order, clean and the staff was very nice.

A lovely boutique type hotel with great friendly staff.

The hotel is clean and quiet, and staff is friendly. My only complaint is that due to narrow streets the bus cannot go into own and it is quite a distance from the bus station, particularly with luggage. The town itself is very quaint and people are super friendly.

Our room in this hotel was excellent : comfortable bed, clean bathroom, sufficient plugs. We had an excellent night, but be warned - establishments serving evening meals are rare. It may be the season, but this hotel did not serve after 6pm, nor did other hotels close by. Parking is offered at a hotel, which is quite a walk away, and the road is narrow. Outside parking, if you can get it, is to be paid for from 8.00 a.m. The reception staff were so friendly and helpful.

Great little hotel with modern amenities across the steet from a historic monatery providng a front row photo op from the quaint balcony :-) Plus a freash breakfast and very reasonable menu pricing.

Short one night trip to visit daughter at school. Hotel is older style but adequate and close for what we needed. It was cold the night we arrived so needed to put heating on in room but no problem to do this. We had stayed here before so knew what we were getting. We didn’t use restaurant so can’t comment on any meals. Pleasant receptionist staff

The air-conditioning didn't work well and the room was warm when I entered. But the staff were very helpful.

The hospitality was overwhelming.

The hotel was very well located, very close to El Escorial and a number of eating establishments. The service staff was friendly and efficient. The only thing that bothered me was the parking which was off-site and cost us $30 per day.

Great location. AMAZING View. The staff went far and beyond. She drew me a map and a great route.

Old property with charm but needed updating. Breakfast wasn’t very interesting or varied.

rooms and hotel very dated walls very thin

Wonderful helpful staff, suggested best restaurant down the street Kul4! Clean, easy taxi ride from train station. Beautiful surroundings walk to shops, hike up in mountains, cool fresh clean air.
