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.

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.

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.

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.

If you have seen Fawlty Towers, this is it!

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.....

O atendimento do Sr. Gregório e de primeira. Muito eficaz e gentil. Isso foi no check in. No checkout houve um problema, fizemos o camino del Rey e choveu, estávamos molhados e chegamos antes uns minutos de fechar a diária . Solicitamos o quarto, pois já havíamos entregado as chaves, somente para colocar uma roupa seca. A atendente disse que o quarto estava sendo limpo e nós ofereceu o banheiro, como não tinhamos espaço suficiente no banheiro para abrir as malas a solução foi seguir viagem molhados. Tentamos uma alternativa com a atendente para que ela disponibilizasse o quarto por alguns minutos ou outro quarto somente pelo espaço de abrir as malas, mas nos foi negado.
