Guest reviews
Exceptional
I have stayed there before because I like the comfort, location, and views
Liked: The view was spectacular and the location was ideal.
Disliked: Everything was great.
Ok
Liked: Location and historical significance were the positive aspects.
Disliked: There was no complimentary coffee like other places in Spain, The bathtub had no shower curtain and the resteraunt was over priced. I would not stay here again.
Holiday review
Liked: Excellent location and beautiful building.
Disliked: Was described as having a terrace area, we were able to access this, but the bar on the terrace was not open. We would have liked to sit on the terrace with a drink. No facilities to have hot or cold drinks in bedroom or on site (except breakfast). WiFi not working, the receptionist reset it (took 15 mins), but in the morning, the WiFi wasn't working again.
An irreplaceable experience in a lovely old town
Liked: I love this place, having stayed there before. It's a lovely old inn (XVIII century I think) with wonderful views over the gorge. Each room is different of course. Ours had a huge terrace with a fantastic view. The staff are super!
Disliked: The plumbing perhaps dates from the 18th century....In a way, that's part of the experience, but it can be a bit annoying when you need a shower..
A really nice hotel well placed for seeing the town. The staff were friendly and breakfast was good
Liked: We had a lovely large balcony overlooking the terrace and the gorge. The bed was comfortable and the room quiet. We had dinner in the hotel that evening, sitting outside which was lovely. It is an old property with lots of stairs and corridors, and it took us a little time to find our way around, but we loved it.
Perfect location, but be aware of limitations
Liked: The property is charming, and the room spacious. We had both a shower and a tub which was nice and the view was spectacular.
Disliked: With no air conditioning, the room wasn’t comfortable without opening the windows. But there was a wedding there and also a concert in the plaza mayor. The bed was extremely hard. We also were not given the WiFi password nor did they explain aspects of the property. The breakfast was ok (coffee was not good). Juice was from concentrate, pastries were not fresh. For the price I expected more.
Good to know
