I am rating this hotel as "3" because the staff was superb - responsive, helpful, friendly. The gentelman at the front desk not only patiently explained to me the walking directions but also graciously made me some hot tea. The property itself has a great location and nice common areas, but it is very dated, there was a bad smell in the room and no hot water in the morning.

Firstly, the breakfast pastries are some of the best pastries I’ve had in my life. (And trust me when I say I’ve had many pastries before today) crisp on the outside, feather soft on the inside. Dinner in the hotels restaurant was delicious!! The lamb shoulder was recommended and did not disappoint. The staff were soooo helpful, gave excellent advice re the hike. Super kind and friendly. Thank you to you all! The room was clean and bed comfy. Would absolutely stay again should I do the hike again.

Was Ok. Smell of cleaning products hit us as we walked in and took a while to get rid of. Bed not very comfortable. No fridge, or any kitchen type appliances. However it served its purpose as a place to stay that made it easy to walk the trail and get back to our car after.

Very convenient place to stay if you’re doing caminito del Rey. Scenic views and opportunities for hiking, cycling and exploring the countryside

Very nice hotel but breakfast was more expensive to book online than directly at the hotel

Victor - the receptionist that checked us in, was very friendly. He apologized the restaurant was not open and guided us to a different one. We also asked for some ice, which we were delighted he delivered to us as we were planning to return to the desk to retrieve.

Arriving, the hotel is in a good position.Close to the Caminito del Rey. There is street parking, but if you want secure parking you have to pay 3 euro to park on site. Enter Basil Fawlty! The check in was normal and you were advised to bring your bags through the front door before parking your car! Why?, You are about to find out. Once the booking in procedure was completed I went back to car to park and the electric gates were open. Drive in, park the car, walk back to the gate to leave, the gates are shut! There is no buzzer, there is no way you can communicate with anyone to let you out and there is no other means of entering the hotel than through the front. I waited until my wife came out and she had to return to the hotel to ask for the gates to be opened. The rooms are old and tired. Things did not work and the recepionist, Victor, tried his best to get things to work..To no avail. He explained the hotel was full and no alternative rooms were available. I then wanted to return to the car to collect a couple of things. 'How do I enter?' 'Oh, with this gate remote' 'Can I have a remote then please so I can to my car?' 'Ahh, no. The owner does not allow that' ??? So he had to stand at the window and open the gate and watch me return to open the gate. Leaving was the same issue. After check out I went to get the car. On arriving at the gate it was shut. My only option was to blast my car horn, which is loud, to attract attention. Incredible. It goes on, but.....

Wonderful staff

It’s a nice place for visiting Cominito Del Rey

Really nice as a whole. Not fancy but spotless, quiet and comfortable. Food was excellent. The only issue was we had 2 episodes where the electricity cut out for 10-20 mins. Not sure if there’s anything they can do about that (as it may be standard in the remote location) but it’s worth being aware of.

Dinner was excellent

Friendly staff at check-in and check-out. Conveniently located close to the entrance of Caminito del Rey. Restaurant on-site. Parking on the street is free or a small fee to park behind the hotel. Beautiful building exterior and interior.

Interior small room with no window to outside; noisy; no desk in room as advertised; no window in bathroom to vent air outside; no blanket for bed; no signal on most tv channels; only 4 hangers in closet!!

Very helpful staff.

Great food! Pedro and Gregorio were very nice!

This is a nice 3 star hotel in a beautiful location. We found the room to be cold with the tiled floor and the en suite was a bit cramped. We thought that there was private parking, but were told to park in the road. The best feature was the perfect location for walking Caminito del rey and the surrounding national Park.

Great location when you want to do the Caminito del Rey, especially if you don‘t have tickets and need to be at the entrance early. Restaurant not the best but ok, since there is not much else in the region

This hotel exceeded our expectation! We enjoyed the surrounding a lot! The staffs were very charming especially the older women who managed the breakfast. We enjoyed the breakfast tremendously. On the whole, a memorable stay at a historical hotel :)

Hotel doesn’t turn on central heating in winter. Bathroom shower was functioning as a hose. Two space heaters can’t function together as they blow the breaker. It was 5°c outside. Service was very pleasant and helpful. Restaurant for dinner and breakfast was great.

If you're going to Caminito del Rey, this is a great spot. The attached restaurant serves an awesome lamb shoulder. Wow, so good. I had a little trouble with the wifi one day, but no big deal.
