Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was excellent for exploring the Camino del Rey and right by the train station, offering stunning views. However, the rooms were not suitable for use, being noisy and cold. The service was very helpful but could be hit or miss at times.
I stayed at this hotel and found it to be a charming spot with a unique room layout. The separate levels for bedroom and bathroom added a quirky touch to the stay.
The hotel has a unique room layout with two floors accessed by a tight spiral staircase, which may not be suitable for everyone. However, the location is perfect for visiting Caminito del Rey and offers beautiful views. The service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff. The dining options, though traditional, had limited availability at certain times.
