Arcos de la Frontera hotellia

Plussat: Great hosts. Jim and Isa were wonderful. Also, great location and beautiful patio with a great view. I also really enjoyed the walking tour Jim (host) put together. Def would recommend this place.

Plussat: Isabel was charming and helpful. She gave us great tips for visiting the village and for dinner. The property was comfortable with beautiful views of the valley below. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Miinukset: The property was perfect.

Plussat: Everything. The place is perfect: the room and the bathroom were very clean; the place is very welcoming and the owners are very nice and lovely. The view and the terrace are wonderful. The hosters gave us all the information we needed for knowing better Arcos. Last but not least: the breakfast was very good. An excellent place.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Wonderful place to stay. Cozy, clean, perfect location. Host Isabel gave us some interesting information about town you couldn't find in guidebooks. Higly recommended!

Plussat: Our host Jim was wonderfully friendly and helpful. Our room was very comfortable and fully equipped, yet in an understated and efficient way.

Miinukset: There could have been a little more counter space in the bathroom, but no complaints otherwise, and that one is pretty minor.

Plussat: Pieni ihana, pittoreski hotelli. Näköalat aivan mahtavat! Samoin aamupala kattoterassilla! Liikenteen melu ei kuulu, nukuimme hyvin ja pitkään. Omistajapariskunta, Jim ja Isabel olivat ihania, ystävällisiä ja avuliaita ihmisiä❤

Plussat: This was a true gem of a find! We booked the terrace room the night before our stay when we made an impromptu decision to spend a few days touring the white villages. This hotel was absolutely gorgeous, built in the 1600s and so very very charming. I kept saying it looked like it was from an Anthropologie home catalogue shoot - but more authentic. So romantic and charming, my boyfriend ended up proposing on the balcony here. We booked a room with a terrace, and the view was spectacular. The terrace was also two levels, with a large downstairs patio and lounge chairs. The room was somewhat small (although pretty average or even roomy by European standards) but the view, balcony, and absolutely stunning details of the room made up for it. The bed was queen size and comfortable, the bathroom was small but all updated and the water pressure and shower heads were amazing.Very quiet except for the sounds of birds (including a rooster, which was quite noisy but not bothersome to us) and sheep/goats. Follow the hotel's directions to park in the designated parking garage and catch a taxi - you just drive to the upper level of the garage and there is an attendant who will call a taxi. Taxi arrived within a minute or two and it cost maybe 6 euro to get to the hotel. Don't bother trying to use GPS to get up to the main square through all the tiny roads. Do be prepared to carry a bag over cobblestone walking streets for about 100 meters or so, and for the off-chance that the road down was closed on your way out (as it was for us).

Plussat: The view, the view! Discounted overnight parking.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Terrific views (from both our room and the terrace), nice decor within the hotel, friendly hosts.

Miinukset: The only challenge was finding the place, which is not well labeled on the outside.I also wish the bathroom had felt a little more private (the door to the toilet was pretty flimsy).

Plussat: The peaceful atmosphere, the gorgeous views, the delicious fragance, the elegance of simplicity, the artistic touches, the kind staff, the delicious breakfast, the discreet location. I really enjoyed it!

Miinukset: Leaving!

Plussat: Everything, the best place we have stayed in Spain this trip. Estefania is very welcoming, the staff are wonderful and it is a beautiful traditional old house. A lovely feel to the place with the best views in Arcos de la Frontera from the rooftop balcony. From breakfast served in the fabulous courtyard to the cosy library where you can relax with a book and admire the fantastic art work. Will definitely stay there again.

Plussat: It is very pretty: Romantic and it has the most fantastic views. Great rooftop terrace. Lovely interior and art. Beautiful and cosy room. Good advice from hostess on car parking and restaurants. Overall friendly staff. Great location.

Miinukset: The bed, blankets and pillows could use an update. Breakfast was not too great. Room was infused with a much too strong vanilla scent from air refreshner.

Plussat: Great location. Wonderful owners /workers. Very clean and a view that is beautiful.

Plussat: Location excellent, right in the old town, near restaurants and Tapas bars. Delicious breakfast Charming decor, very relaxing Friendly helpful staff

Plussat: Perfect location in Arcos, with the best view in the old town. Staff was very friendly and helpful with all our requests. Rooms were very clean and overall great value.

Miinukset: Internet service only available at the lobby, but wireless signal not available in some rooms.

Plussat: This is my favorite hotel in Spain. The views are spectacular!!!

Plussat: The location is perfect. The room was very comfortable. The place is really nice to stay.

Plussat: We loved this place. We stayed one night of a road trip, & booked a room with terrace - absolutely spectacular views and access to the towns lovely narrow streets for eating - beautiful!

Miinukset: Very little not to like - maybe the breakfast is a little on the expensive side, but loads of alternatives at the doorstep.

Plussat: The terraces have spectacular views

Plussat: If you go to Arcos, stay here.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: The service was always welcoming however I am use to full English breakfast and continental breakfast was a little too light.

Plussat: Having breakfast with the most wonderful view. Big festival with processions from 5pm to midnight all added to the atmosphere . Found great tapas bar down the street where we spent an hour before dinner !

Miinukset: Not much, really.

Plussat: Very accomodating to personal dietary needs, both fresh, healthy and wide variety of choices.

Miinukset: That we had to leave

Plussat: Superb location, wonderful hosts. The place to stay in Arcos de la Frontera.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Sijanti mainio vanhankaupungin ytimessä. Huone ja hotelli sopii romanttiselle parille. Terassi hyvä.

Miinukset: Ohiajavien autojen melu häiritsee yöllä, ja samoin illan äänet kuuluvat huoneeseen.

Plussat: The owner was very helpful especially with suggested driving routes in the district & dining suggestions. If you like rustic & character filled this is a perfect fit.

Miinukset: The bed was very uncomfortable. The room had a musty smell. There was no wi-fi in the room. Bathroom curtain was very dirty & even though the place was probably clean, it made it feel less than pristine. It was also one of the more expensive places we stayed in but certainly didn’t feel like it. Arcos was generally disappointing compared to the other local white towns & especially Ronda.

Plussat: The House had a character of its own and was interesting unlike a chain hotel. The view from the terrace outside our room was excellent and there was lots of plants within the house

Miinukset: The breakfast, on the second morning we asked for scrambled eggs as it was cold and were charged another 8 euros over the 12 we were already paying without being told. We found out when we got the bill. The house was cold as was the weather but despite both the host and us commenting on the cold no heating was put on in our room apart from a small fan heater.

Plussat: In addition to the charm obvious in the photos of the rooms, there is the ambiance of the whole house, with dried plants hanging from the beams, the incredible view over the valley, and the dedicated kind hostess.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: host was lovely room had a great feel

Miinukset: room had neither sunset or sunrise view hot water took forever to get causing us to waste a lot of water

Plussat: Spacious, wonderful location with special rooms and lots of eye for detail. Loved it. Excellent views on the lake and valley from the terrace and some of the rooms. Make sure to check which room you book if you want a view, there are also indoor rooms.

Plussat: Perfect for a night in Arcos.

Plussat: Good hotel. Good location. Good parking. GREAT wifi. Very nice reception. Good breakfast. Good a/c.

Plussat: Convenient location, super helpful staff, good breakfast, nice terrace but we couldn't use because it was cold

Miinukset: Crappy beds

Plussat: Great choice at breakfast. Nice central location for a short walk into the old town. Welcoming and friendly staff.

Miinukset: Couldn´t get ac / heating to work but didn´t need it.

Plussat: Very good breakfast. Warm, large room

Miinukset: Room a little bland

Miinukset: A. C. In winter mode and temp is 24 C

Plussat: Location was perfect for walking the old town, parking was at the hotel and inexpensive. Room was very clean and comfortable. Very easy to get to the hotel by car. Varied and numerous public seating areas. Lovely breakfast.

Plussat: Breakfast very good. Location good. The parking was very good. The ambiance of the site was nice. The "view" very limited.

Miinukset: Description of view. The GPS made the arrival difficult, took me down a challenging dead-end. I don't know it there is a solution for this.

Plussat: service, acommotation

Miinukset: Rooms next to the breakfast loungue so at 6am very noisy and woke you

Plussat: Parking is always a problem in the centre of small spanish towns. Los Olivos have a brilliant car park. Easy to reach and easy to drive into. Walking distance to sights. Great find.

Plussat: The view is excellent.

Miinukset: The interior is too old. Breakfast is poor.

Plussat: Todella kapeat kadut ei isoille autoille

Miinukset: Todella kapeat kadut ei isoille autoille

Plussat: We had room #18 (corner balcony) and the view was absolutely fantastic ! The Parador was beautiful, although getting there by car was a bit difficult (narrow streets). But we loved it !

Miinukset: Getting there by car is an adventure. And leaving is almost just as bad. Very narrow streets with restaurants and people walking in the streets. You need a small car and a very good driver.

Plussat: Huge spread for the buffet. You also have just a coffee at the bar.

Miinukset: Beds in the room were two singles instead of one queen sized bed. Joining them was not helpful since the beds separated during the night. Was expecting a single larger bed.

Plussat: Restaurant was surprisingly good. Much Better than expected with home cooked meals prepared professionally. Manual our server was very helpful and attentive. I would recommend it highly. Views from our room and the terrace was truly specracular

Miinukset: Access is a challenge and even though we were warned it was difficult.

Plussat: This hotel has the most amazing picture window, a great place for a drink and to watch the sunset.

Miinukset: The beds were a little hard for my liking but this is personal preference.

Plussat: Beautifully decorated room. Great bed, bathroom. Fantastic staff, all very pleasant and helpful. Located centrally. Historic setting. And all at a reasonable price. We loved staying there. Hope to go back again.

Miinukset: Nothing. All great

Miinukset: Parking was problematic. The lot used by the hotel is a public lot. On one of the two evenings we were staying at the hotel the lot was full. The nearest alternate parking location is about 3/4 miles away down the hill.

Plussat: AMAZING location in the beautiful hilltop town of Arcos de la frontera. If you want to visit Arcos then this is the place you should stay. Incredible views over the 150m cliff drop. Beautiful rooms and the food is also excellent for breakfast lunch or dinner. An afternoon aperitif on the terrace with sunset views is the best!

Plussat: location. room

Plussat: Rural location

Miinukset: Thin walls

Plussat: My parents loved the location, the views, the style. They had a wonderful time there.

Plussat: The landscape is amazing, the view of the countryside is a dream, good for relaxation, living the city stress behind.

Miinukset: Of anything, the furniture is old and a bit tatty, but the house we rested was practically equipped, with air con and everything we needed. May be the 200 metres walk for the house to the main building might bother some, not us, if was part of the experience , a nice walk.

Plussat: Show a picture of the dining room - it's beautiful! Quiet, rural and very peaceful. Food for dinner was excellent

Miinukset: Breakfast was a bit dull

Plussat: Everything.

Miinukset: There's nothing not to like.

Plussat: The host was so friendly and showed us around the lovely hotel and grounds. Being a Hotel Rural it is set out away from the hustle of cities in the midst of olive groves, which is why we chose it. Charming and easy going. We were lucky to arrive just in time to have a good dinner on the premises. No menu just what is the serving of the day. A white fish which was delicious.

Plussat: We chose the hotel for the convenience of their underground garage. It was a moderately easy walk uphill to the cathedral. Paco, the bartender, was friendly and attentive. The breakfast was quite adequate.

Miinukset: Sound of (ventilation?) machinery constantly going on and off.

Plussat: A good 3-star-hotel a short walk outside arcos-center. Breakfast is nice, parking garage also, although it should be included in the prize. there were not many other guests staying when we were there, so it was nice and quiet.

Miinukset: parking should be free. breakfast was nice but nothing special.

Plussat: Sijainti keskustassa, pikkupaikkakunnan "elämänsykkeessä" oli ihan hauska. Ovesta saattoi putkahtaa ulos suoraan keskelle paikallista iltaelämää. Seurasimme hotellin ravintolassa espanjalaista jalkapallo-ottelua ja söimme puoliksi maistuvan Menu del dia -annoksen (hakuammunnalla kieltä osaamattomana) ja maistelimme lasilliset paikallista sherryä ja viiniä. Lasku oli yhteensä maltilliset 15 euroa. Aamiainen oli ihan ok. Kaupunki oli muutenkin näkemisen arvoinen.

Miinukset: Hotelli oli sikäli hieman ankea, että kun naapuri laski hanasta vettä, tuntui siltä, että ääni tulee omasta vessasta. Kaikki kuului seinän läpi. Tv-kapulasta pyydettiin 10 euron pantti, asiakkaat lienevät vohkineet niitä paljon? No, me emme tulleet Espanjaan tv:tä katsomaan. Saimme huoneen sisäpihalta, jossa näköala oli tasan zero, mutta sinne ei kuulunut kadun äänetkään.

Plussat: Very centric and close to everything! Walking distance to whatever you want. Can’t be beat for the price/value!! Highly recommend

Miinukset: There was no separate shower facility. I am disabled and cannot climb into a bath.

Plussat: Erinomainen aamiainen! Ystävällinen henkilökunta. Autotalli.

Miinukset: Kova sänky ja tyyny kuin tiiliskivi.

Plussat: Convenient location, clean, with underground parking

Plussat: Location, parking

Miinukset: Smell of cleaning products in room

Plussat: Great value, Fantastic staff in the B&B and the restaurant very accommodating, friendly and helpful. Loved that we could bring our dog to stay too.

Plussat: Nice room, quiet. Staff helpful. Free, safe, secure parking.

Miinukset: Restaurant tried to overcharge me. Shame, as food was excellent.

Plussat: Very good value for the price. Friendly people, clean rooms, nice restaurant.

Miinukset: Maybe a bit far for walking into Arcos town.

Plussat: The breakfast was excellent. Varied choice of items. Room very clean and comfy and we had a good view of Arcos from window.

Miinukset: We were disappointed that the restaurant and bar was closed for the two nights we were there due to local fiesta and we had not been notified in advance. On a previous visit we found the restaurant very good but we were obliged to go out to dine on this occasion.

Plussat: Friendly staff

Miinukset: Veeeeery weak WIFI signal in the room :/

Plussat: Very good quite location near to Arcos de la Frontera town, with free parking, friendly staff and very clean and comfortable rooms.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Delicious breakfast, very comfortable nice sized room.

Plussat: Room and shower were ok. Free parking.

Miinukset: Breakfast was poor. The price we paid was not good we have got in comparison with other Andalusian hotels.

Miinukset: Koirat haukkui

Miinukset: Great location beside the lake and very friendly staff, highly recommended

Plussat: A nice country hotel situated by a beautiful lake. The rooms have small patios in the garden where oranges and bananas grow.

Miinukset: You could hear your next door neighbor a bit to well. Don’t forget to ask the reception for extra pillows as there is just one long to share in the bed.

Plussat: Friendly staff, reasonably priced food and drink and lovely location next to Arcos lake.

Plussat: A very comfortable, quiet hotel with excellent facilities

Miinukset: Sewage smell in the corridors. Seems to be something that is prevalent throughout Spain

Plussat: The location was fantastic, on the side of the lake, the room was great and the hotel itself was very nice. Just need to sort out the restaurant staff.

Miinukset: Watch the English translation on the menu, my wife ordered goulash and elvers turned up. The restaurant staff were very haphazard and slow, we waited ages for someone to ask us if we wanted a coffee, we gave up and went into the bar to find someone to pay and they were watching the football.

Plussat: Lovely location, great pool

Miinukset: Breakfast buffet was weak compared to the rest of our trip

Plussat: Very comfortable beds and spacious rooms. WiFi works well and the location is pretty convenient if you are traveling by car. Breakfast was very delicious.

Miinukset: Some of the staff doesn't speak any English at all. At breakfast, the toaster didn't work and when we asked the waiter to fix it, he said that he can't and we have to deal with it, hm. Just before we were supposed to leave and wanted to take a shower, the hot water disappeared in both rooms. The reception though quickly offered the solution - key to a spare room where there was a hot water in the shower.

Plussat: The location was beautiful - right on a lake with a great view of Arco de la Frontera -beautiful swimming pool, private small terrace outside our room - very nice breakfast -good restaurant - very friendly staff, etc.

Miinukset: nothng

Plussat: The location was close to the public parking garage and the historic part of town was short walk away. Restaurants were not too far away. The rooms was large with high ceilings and a little window balcony overlooking the main street.

Miinukset: Located on busy street, so noisy throughout the night. Maybe busier than normal since it was a Friday night?

Plussat: Large room. Nice interior. Friendly Staff. Good Price. No Problems.

Miinukset: No reception before 10am.

Plussat: Excellent location, nice room, very clean. walking distance from everything!

Miinukset: Nobody spoke english, so we were relieved we took Spanish in high school!

Plussat: Location was fabulous. The sun terrace was so lovely. Very helpful, and friendly staff.

Miinukset: No.

Plussat: Nuria, who was at reception whenever we were coming or going, was very helpful in getting us settled and in making suggestions of where to eat and what to see in not only Arcos de la Frontera but also Grazalima our next destination. The hotel had a very nice vibe to it with Andalucian art pieces throughout. We enjoyed our time out on the terrace which came with the room.

Plussat: Friendly staff, very clean rooms, plenty of parking.

Plussat: Location was great for walking also plenty of eating places around it. Very clean great ac.

Miinukset: Fan in bathroom not working

Plussat: Great value, good service, friendly

Miinukset: Food all with chips and no veg

Plussat: It was like a 2 bedroom apartment without a kitchen. A large living room (no TV), 2 large bedrooms (each had TV) and a large bathroom. The bedrooms were even separated by the bath. And there was an elevator.

Miinukset: The only problem we had was they spoke no English and we spoke no Spanish. There was a person who helped out

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: everything It exceeded our expectations.

Miinukset: Street parking

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Noisy sheets had holes hard to find .

Plussat: the price per night, location, nice helpful staff (they saw me sitting on the stairs using wifi and found another connection that would work in my room), large room

Miinukset: low water pressure (pumped hot then cold while showering), sadly no TLC, no coffee in the morning,

Plussat: Location but nothing else

Miinukset: Large mouldy damp patch in the bathroom. Plaster falling off the wall above one bed. Only one small window that opened onto a balcony above an open dinning area. room was therefore hot and noisy
