Ávila hotellia

Plussat: It was very nice, everything worked as was supposed to, breakfast was great value for money.

Miinukset: Everything was fine, just quite noisy on the street, but nothing that the property could influence.

Plussat: Confortable

Plussat: A cheap and cheerful place to stay right in the middle well worth the money

Plussat: Grat location and good attention. It was also very clean.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: View from bedroom

Plussat: Location & Secure parking. Catering staff MOST helpful.

Miinukset: Restaurant menu was 'brief'.

Plussat: Good secure underground parking for motorcycle. Good room for 1 person

Plussat: The room was very large. With a lovely big patio area. The hotel is a little dated. But great for a nights stop over.Very nice staff

Miinukset: The pillows was lumpy and very rough sheets.

Plussat: Hotelli sijaitsi Avilan vanhan keskustan ja turistialueen ulkopuolella , muutaman kilometrin päässä. Vastapäätä ostoskeskus. Helppo löytää ja hotellilla oma iso, hyvä ja edullinen (5€) sisäparkki. Huone olikin huoneisto ja iso terassi. Oma ravintola ja kafeteria joissa edulliseen hintaan paikallisia ruokia. Hyvä aamiainen . Mukava ja tehokas henkilökunta. Neljän tähden hotelli jonka hinta-laatusuhde ainakin tähän vuodenaikaan loistava. Ja wi-fi toimi loistavasti.

Plussat: It was a lovely place alive with guests of every age— I don’t know about palace— it looked to me like a monastery, maybe a bishop’s house, that sort of thing. But our room and the whole general ambience was great.

Miinukset: I liked it all

Plussat: Excellent location inside the city walls. Beautiful historic building. Helpful staff. Comfortable room.

Miinukset: The service in the bar was slow. Menu showed food items but kitchen was closed. A minor complaint.

Plussat: We loved the location of the hotel- within the city walls and within walking distance of all the city sights.

Miinukset: The bar menu could have been a little more extensive. Also some of the plates were rather pricey for the amount on offer, for example, €15 for a very small plate of cheese was in my opinion OTT. I thought they had made a mistake but apparently not. However on the plus side the warm bread was to die for.

Plussat: Eat my meals there and visited the bar. The staff was very courteous and helpful. The room was clean and well maintained.

Miinukset: Parking is at a premium- I visited on the weekend and was able to get street parking.

Plussat: Rauhallinen, miellyttävä paikka, lähellä kaikkea nähtävää.

Miinukset: Sää oli ainoa ikäväpuoli.

Plussat: Location and cleanliness of room.

Miinukset: There was a light bulb out in the bathroom, the fan did not work well and made a noise, and because of that the room tended to be hot.

Plussat: The decor was calming and respectful of its heritage. Excellent location for sights and restaurants.

Miinukset: Parking was a potential problem.

Plussat: Kärkipäähän sijoittuva Parador viihtyvyydeltään Vehreä pihapiiri

Miinukset: Ahdas sisäänajo autolla

Plussat: THE ACTUALLY HOTEL - BAR - AND BREAKFAST WERE GREAT AS SO THE ROOM ... WE DID HAVE TO OPEN THE WINDOWS SINCE THE ROOM SMELLED A BIT MUSTY.

Miinukset: THE PERSONNEL AT THE RECEPTION WERE NOT VERY FRIENDLY OR HELPFUL - OF COURSE WE DID FIND A POSSIBLE EXCEPTION - THE FACT THAT THE RESTAURANT ONLY OPENS AT 8 P.M. IS NOT REALLY HELPFUL FOR MOST TOURISTS WHICH IS INCOMPREHENSIBLE.

Plussat: This Hotel is excellent, we really enjoyed our overnight stay.

Plussat: The minute we walked through the door, Alejandra welcomed us with a warm smile, and was so helpful with planning our day and evening in this beautiful city of Ávila!

Plussat: Very helpful reception staff, excellent breakfast

Plussat: Staff very welcoming and helpful. Room a bit dated, but very well equipped and spacious. Clean. Breakfast buffet was an excellent selection. Good location being walkable into the centre, but far enough out to have car parking and to be easy to find by car. Also close to station. Great value for money. We had a lovely stay and would book again.

Miinukset: A few minor things - water was a very strange colour, window wouldn't stay open and room was very warm. The undergound car park is tiny and very difficult to manoeuvre into spaces. This wasn't too much of a problem as there were not many guests with cars when we stayed, but might be an issue in high season.

Plussat: We all had a very pleasent stay

Miinukset: I thought that all the staff on the reception desk should have been able to speak English. Parking should have been free thought that was expensive.

Plussat: Well sign posted so easy to find. A lovely hotel delightfully decorated and within walking distance of Avila's attractions.

Plussat: Helpful staff, convenient for old town, excellent breakfast but a bit over priced.Parking a five minute walk to an underground park, expensive but very secure.

Plussat: The location is fine, it takes about 20 minutes walk to the historical center. There is traffic in the street, but it was rather quiet in the night. The room was nice and spacious. The hotel has its own garage.

Miinukset: Some of the staff did not speak English. There is no own restaurant, only a bar. This bar offered small meals but unfortunately was full of smoke.

Plussat: We liked this hotel for its proximity to the train station. We also like the way the hotel is decorated - antique furniture creating an ambiance of royalty, representative of the Kingdom. Very well done. Staff are very helpful. Hotel room is very clean. Unfortunately, we didn't have the time to try their breakfast which I'm sure will be great as well.

Miinukset: Nothing at all.

Plussat: Easy to find, good central location and comfortable room

Miinukset:

Plussat: A nice old building tucked away on a narrow street next to the cathedral. It also has a delightful outdoor restaurant next to the walls - pricey though. Our room was on the first floor with the small balcony overlooking the walls. You get a lot of conversation from the street with the windows open, but it’s not an issue when they are closed at night - good air conditioning if it gets too hot. The hotel has a traditional feel and is very clean. No lift, but a member of staff carried our cases upstairs. Decent breakfast, but it is extra - 6€. A bonus is the parking - easy to get to, but I recommend watching the YouTube video on their website first. Downside is the cost at 12€ a day.

Plussat: It is a truly amazing location, lots to see and do. Will certainly make a return visit next year

Miinukset: To be honest everything was fantastic

Plussat: Loved the ambience of the whole place, also very clean, and rooms were spacious. Close to all in the walled city, yet quiet location with lovely dining room and outdoor terrace with bar and food onsite. Highly recommend.

Miinukset: Rooms could have had a night light.

Plussat: Great base for exploring Avila. We had a VW T5 LWB, which we left on the road outside the walls, but in fact, we would have been able to get it into the hotel's secure car park.

Miinukset: Difficult to get a meal at a time to suit us - as Brits we generally eat early,

Plussat: Lovely place, very helpful staff.

Plussat: Hotel is in a lovely old building in the historic old town. It has a good resturant.

Plussat: Charming old hotel inside the walls, close to everything. Great affordable bar! Nice staff, Julia in the front desk was very helpful and pleasant.

Plussat: Position is excellent in a very beautiful town

Miinukset: Restaurant served quantity rather than quality Huge slabs of meat drenched in salt , with a few slices of overcooked potatoes.

Plussat: The hotel is located in a very nice and central road with all amenities in a walking distance. The room was clean and well equipped. Comfortable bed and large shower. The staff is very friendly, helpful and smiling. Wifi works very well. Breakfast has a nice variety of drinks and food. Good and nice restaurant belonging to the same property, right in front of the hotel.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very helpful and friendly staff. Location is great. Ambience is great. Definitely would recommend it.

Miinukset: WiFi was very slow. Room was good but could have had more facilities.

Plussat: The location was great! I liked the stone and wood decor.

Miinukset: We didn't like having to walk through the restaurant to get out of the hotel. We would have liked to pay in cash, but understand it is typical to only accept cards.

Plussat: The location is perfect and my room was very clean. It is just next to the ancient walls which is convenient for enjoying the day and night view of the walls. There is an observatory just one minute away, I recommend to go there in the morning for the panoramic countryside view. The local pastry on Calle Caballeros opposite of the Soul Kitchen Restaurant was a surprise found. The gentleman sells both pastry and coffee. So if you are looking for really local pastry of NO fancy souvenir packaging, that is the one and it is just two minutes from the hotel.

Miinukset: Wifi log-in was not always smooth.

Plussat: It was ideal for visiting the old walled town. Although it didn't have parking, it was easy to find free parking very close by. We were impressed by the excellent signing in machine as we arrived when the receptionist had left. It was very quiet in our room on the ground floor. The experience of being in a hotel in the walls of the historic town was wonderful.

Miinukset: Nothing at all.

Miinukset: For British guests need a kettle in the room

Plussat: Newly renovated room. Tastfully done. Perfect location at the citywall. Friendly staff. Nice breakfast with excellent coffee.

Miinukset: Breakfastbackgroundmusic is not what pleases us partilarly !! The same is applicable for the musical performance in the restaurant that can be heard in the hotelroom dowmstairs since its not sound proof. Just simply skip it ! Silence is a luxuourious good.

Plussat: Good value, nice hotel in excellent location.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Perfect location. Very clean and good staff.

Plussat: Food excellent host friendly helpful spending time telling us where to visit and letting us park our Motorbike in his garage free of change x

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Location is perfect for visiting Avila as the hotel is just outside one of the gates into the walled city. The room was small but clean and comfortable. Friendly staff.

Miinukset: Bathroom shower is a little small and tight. Lacking in extra hand towels and shower mat.

Plussat: Location was good, street parking was available.

Miinukset: Very expensive tapas in the cafe and would not take a credit card, eat somewhere else. On check out again said would not take credit card only cash, after I pointed at the VISA sign on the front door, person became pis*ed but let me use a card. Not a very good experience. Would not stay again.

Plussat: Great location for the city. Clean room with comfy bed. Friendly, helpful staff. Garage parking for motorbikes next door. Guy even helped fix broken indicator on my bike and lent me his tools!

Plussat: Free parking nearby hotel .

Plussat: Very good location

Miinukset: Breakfast was very poor for 3.50 euros. Only a coffee and toast or cake.

Plussat: Good location and cleaness

Plussat: It was new, clean, well designed and efficient; the staff was helpful and friendly; the food very good, the free parking spot nearby, ideal. All in all, we found it very comfortable and most conveniently located.

Plussat: Nice place in the city, very friendly staff, easy reached by car.

Plussat: The owners were very friendly, always at our service. Everything is brand new and very clean. Good location, right in front of one of the old city's gates.

Plussat: location,wifi & parking nearby

Miinukset: our room was near the cafeteria some noise until the closure of the cafeteria

Plussat: Very friendly helpful staff,good location,nice room.I just spent one night there,but I can recommend staying in Hostal Don Diego ☺️

Plussat: Fantastic location

Miinukset: Nothing

Miinukset: The staff do not speak english.

Plussat: Fabulous location, spotlessly clean, staff very happy to help could not fault, exceptional value for money

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Perfect location. Easy access by car. Good parking facility.

Plussat: The hotel has no parking, but is very close to a public parking, just outside the walls. ( a modern parking, where you get no ticket at the entrance; your license plate is scanned. When paying you type in your licence plate number.)

Miinukset: No internet in the room, only in the lobby, and even there it was not always available. At night the light in the room was too poor to read. Breakfast was not offered (But I can highly recommend cafetaria Granier, calle Don Geronimo. A 5 minutes walk.)

Plussat: Great location, easy to walk anywhere in Avila, especially close to Teresa birthplace and cathedral in either direction, and walking by the beautiful walls at night sunset was fabulous. Nice receptionist.

Miinukset: Just that there were people taking in the nearby halls late, like 11:15pm, but Spain customs are later than my own home habits. Otherwise very comfortable.

Plussat: location

Miinukset: rude staff. this is not a hotel. its a small family run business, and poorly run! safety issues, electrical plugs out of place, hot water runs out, corridors without safety, broken walls, slight smell of sewage. Elevator gets you to between level 2 and 3, thus you get stairs. try go up and down with a stroller! one of the rooms had dust and smoke smells. there is no noise cancelling measures, therefore you hear everything that happens outside rooms. Forget getting directions from staff, you get a map and you are sent your way. Staff has no idea how bookings through the internet work. Took 15 mn to figure out if I had a reservation or not, even after showing confirmation.

Plussat: Beautiful building which was in a quiet area so very peaceful.

Miinukset: Although the hotel was a beautiful old building with lots of character the facilities are fairly basic. The WiFi only worked in the reception area which was only attended between 0830 and 2330.

Plussat: I had a fabulously comfortable room and the old building made for a great atmosphere! I was also surprised and pleased to have an ashtray and to be able to smoke!

Miinukset: The internet only works in the reception area.

Miinukset: Unfriendly staff, made a point of ignoring our needs and belittled my Mexican Spanish. Split twin beds and the bathroom smelled of middle age gutters.

Plussat: Beautiful old building, charmingly renovated. Excellent location in a tranquil plaza.

Miinukset: A preoccupied receptionist, brusque and inattentive.Airconditioing wasn't working.

Plussat: The hotel was centrally located within the walls of the town. Very nice and rustic- we felt like we were in Spain!! The beds are comfortable and firm. You can walk to everything: attractions, shopping and restaurants. Nice restaurant for breakfast just around the corner.

Miinukset: Wifi is only available in the lobby area.

Plussat: Amazing ample room on the fourth floor, just opposite Torreón de los Guzmanes. Spotless room with charming views. Great location near the wall and puerta de El Rastro (El Rastro gate). Very kind staff. Really good value for money.

Miinukset: Air conditioning could have been more silent. Actually, I only had to use it one night, but it was quite noisy.

Plussat: Amazing location. The room was better than the photos and very clean. The staff was very polite and helpful. I definitely recommend it.

Miinukset: Internet connection

Plussat: Beautiful traditional decor

Miinukset: Would like wifi in the rooms

Plussat: Location and comfort

Plussat: Hot water on demand

Miinukset: No wifi in room. Had to goto lobby to get a connection. I was counting on having the wifi connection in the evenings in the privacy of my room.

Plussat: Excellently situated in heart of old town, spotless, excellent staff.

Miinukset: No balcony.

Plussat: Great price for standard of accomodation and location.

Miinukset: Lack of wifi in rooms

Plussat: The location is so wonderful.

Miinukset: The lady on reception was abrupt and constantly on the phone.

Plussat: Beautiful and quiet building in an excellent location. The room was very clean and comfortable with a lovely bathroom. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food in the restaurant was exceptionally tasty.

Miinukset: Nothing could have been better.

Plussat: Lovely location. Clean. Staff very helpful. Interesting building. Our room overlooked the square and we had evening sun pouring in from 4pm to 7pm.

Miinukset: There wasn't really anything which could have been improved upon - maybe investing in more routers to enable WiFi in rooms. Had to sit in reception to get reliable WiFi.

Plussat: Location by city wall [near to it]I had booked the Hostal but got room in Hotel around the corner. Bathroom was good.

Miinukset: Reception lady was really dour, unfriendly and unhelpful Bedroom was dark and horrible No hairdryer Sister restaurant Meson de Rastro was nothing special and not worth 25 euro for dinner

Plussat: It is located inside the ancient city near the wall. It is interesting to stay there for one night.

Miinukset: Their dinner was excellent and worth trying it. However, their breakfast was bad and too expensive. I've asked them to reduce the price.

Plussat: The room is clean and good. The hotel staff is good. Location is good. You can see the hostal sign around the main Road. The price the very good.

Miinukset: The shower room is too small.

Plussat: Lovely central location. Ideal for exploring Avila. Clean, recently refurbished. Good bar and restaurant serving traditional food. Staff obviously take pride in their establishment. Their presence was low key but they were very helpful and friendly.

Plussat: An excellent room representing good value for money. Good location in Avila, from which to explore the town. The traditional posada-like aspect of the reception and the spacious lounge.

Plussat: An absolutely terrific place to stay in Avila. Great location inside the town walls in a beautiful old house, everything is within walking distance. The hostal seems to have been recently renovated, bathroom equipment is brand new, everything is very clean. Room design is very beautiful, with old-style furniture, comfortable beds, nice posters on the walls, attention to details etc. The hall looks lovely too - there's a restaurant there but it was closed when we arrived. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Will totally recommend it to anyone going to Avila.

Plussat: fantastic location inside old city walls, very characterful rustic hotel, great restaurant and superb value for money.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Lovely olde worlde building with many original features. Basic rooms but very clean and great value, nice quiet location.

Miinukset: No on site parking so can be difficlut, if you are lucky you will manage to grab a public parking place very close to hotel (free in evenings after 8pm, but small fee until then)

Plussat: Nice room ; Good view Surprisingly quiet for centre of town

Miinukset: Had to put suitcase(s) on floor

Plussat: quiet, kind staff,

Miinukset: no hotel dedicated parking possibility

Plussat: Excellent value and a quality room, full of character and a very convenient location for exploring the town.

Miinukset: Unfortunate that the restaurant wasn't open on the night we arrived (closed Mondays) as it looks really good, but it wasn't difficult to find an alternative. Parking could be difficult with a car but not a problem for us as we were on motorcycles and could park outside the front door!

Plussat: Great location. Large room, comfortable bed, good shower.

Miinukset: Garage parking tight.

Plussat: Highlights of our stay included: the close proximity to one of the main entrances at La Muralla; the fact that there was an adjoining restaurant that served great food at competitive prices; the balcony of our room...

Plussat: Central location just outside the medieval walls. Off street parking at a price in a very tight garage. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Miinukset: Room was very dated and a bit dismal with very little natural light.

Plussat: It was very close to the main attraction the Wall (right across the road) and easy walking from Hotel to main gates and other attractions. Walk some of the alley ways to find less busy restaurants - the main roads around the Wall can get busy and noisy if you are looking for a quieter location for a meal. We pre-booked a car park with the Hotel which was undercover, this was a bonus.

Plussat: Bed was very comfortable and nice room

Plussat: Room was good with excellent bed, showers and towels. Location was very close to the muralles.

Miinukset: Nothing worth mentioning.

Plussat: Location was good

Miinukset: We paid for secured parking for the 2 nights that we stayed at the hotel for 2 motorbikes instead of leaving them on the street, however, on our first night coming back from a night out we were asked to move the motorbikes to another bay which was not a problem, however, both bikes had already been tampered with and had already been tried to be moved. Both bikes had security locks on them and moving them without unlocking them could have seriously damaged the bikes. The bikes are how we have travelled around spain and how we intend to get back to the UK, when we questioned who had moved the motorbikes, we had the response, that they did not speak any english to understand, very disappointed with their attitude. The motorbikes are valuable in both money and as our means of transport and enjoyment, I would hate to have imagined what help we would have received if the bikes had been damaged.

Plussat: Location

Plussat: Location was fantastic. Kind, helpful reception. Excellent value for money. Loved having a balcony to sit on.

Plussat: Amazing location just inside a major medieval gate. Free parking within 200 meters. Cafe across the street and a dozen more just outside the gate. Our room had a very peaceful patio. We would return.

Plussat: The location was fantastic, just past the walled enclosure of Avila, in the heart of the old city. The staff was very friendly and helpful, with a lot of tips on parking and addresses for coffee and diner. Breakfast was plentiful, with homemade cakes, and local specialties. Excellent value for the money

Miinukset: Room a little small

Plussat: Very clean and situated in a good area .

Plussat: Lovely place within the city wall, close to main attractions, very clean and comfortable, kind and helpful staff.

Miinukset: Breakfast basic and poor service

Plussat: Cosy hotel with family atmosphere located directly at the entrance gate to the old town, close to all historical attractions. Room was rather small with roof window but with view on city walls and comfortable.

Miinukset: Hotel doesn't have its own parking place and as all public parking spaces in wide surroundings were occupied (it was Sunday) we were quite lucky that we could finally find parking house for 19 euro per day

Plussat: Everything . Reception lady at evening was extremely helpful

Plussat: This was the fourth time staying at this hotel lovely staff and hotel in a great place

Miinukset: Would have liked a quiter room as we were opposite lifts

Plussat: Huone oli siisti ja uusi. Huoneessa oli puhdasta. Se oli tilava. Oli minijääkaappi. Lidl 500m päässä. Hintaan kuului 1 tervetuloa vesipullo 1.5l. Aamupalalla sai hyvää gluteenitonta leipää ja muffinssia.

Miinukset: Ensin annettiin huone jossa tupakankäry. Ja pohjakerroksesta ilman mitään näkymiä. Pidemmän keskustelun jälkeen löytyi kuin löytyikin 1.krs:sta siisti mukava hyvillä näkymillä oleva huone. Lähellä tehtiin uutta mercadonaa josta kantautuu hotelliin maanhakkausääni kun louhivat kiviä. Hotelli on hiukan kaukana keskustasta ja sinne ei kulje busseja. Taxin tilaus ei toimi ulkomaisella liittymällä eli iltaisin keskustasta kertyi käveltävää jopa 3km.. Aamupala on kylmä ja kärpäset pörräävät varsinkin hedelmissä. Niitä ei ole mitenkään suojattu tai peitetty. Kipeäksihän siitä tuli. Hotelli sijaitsee alueella jossa vain tehdasrakennuksia. Pedissä oli kahiseva muovista ja puuvillasta tehty lakana. Lähellä sijaitsee vain 1 ravintola ja siellä ei ole tarjolla mitä listassa sanotaan ja huono palvelu.

Plussat: autotalli oli käytössä. aamupala hyvä.turistijunakierros mukava.

Miinukset: vähän sivussa keskustasta.

Plussat: Modern and very clean. Reasonable size bedroom and a very nice shower room. Good value for money.

Miinukset: For the price there is nothing not to like.

Plussat: Clean hotel. We foun dit nice and quiet for sleeping. Very easy parking outside hotel. They also have an underground carpark but we didn't need to use it. Staff all nice and friendly and efficient. The room was basic but clean and tidy with a fridge and safe. TV only Spanish channels, no issue for us. Breakfast was fresh and a good selection. No hot bacon and eggs but plenty of other selections. A good value stay at 90 Euro with breakfast for two. The hotel is located on the edge of industrial area slightly unusual you do need a car.

Miinukset: I knew when booking that the hotel is a wee drive from town. No real issue for us as we had a car.

Plussat: Nice and clean rooms. Overall very good value for money, it is in industrial area but taxi to get to the centre is maybe 7 euro, and there was always available drivers. Accommodation staff was very nice and polite.

Miinukset: Reception staff was a bit 'cold', compared to other places we stayed in Spain. Beds are nice to sleep in, but if you'll need double bed there is no zip so it will keep splitting in the middle. More suitable as 2 single beds.

Plussat: Location

Plussat: Central to city walls, cathedral (both literally within a stone's throw), helpful staff, good breakfast.

Miinukset: You have to find your own parking, but it IS a mediaeval walled city after all ...

Plussat: Location was excellent and so was the breakfast!

Miinukset: The room could have been a little more updated...was somewhat shabby!

Plussat: Everything was very good. Beautiful view of the wall and near entrance.

Miinukset: Our room was above the restaurant and it was very very noisy until late with people talking, laughing and then clearing plates etc and cleaning up.

Plussat: Kelpo aamiainen Ja lounas oli todella hyvä omassa ravintolassa .

Plussat: Location! This was right in front of one of the main gates to get into the Avila old city. Lot of cafes too nearby, so eating options were never very far

Miinukset: The room was super small. Also, some basic things like a water heater, coffee, teabags in the room would have been a really great addition. Also, given the location, it could get noisy, if one is a light sleeper. It didn't bother us much though

Plussat: The easy access to the central town and easy reach to transport facilities.

Miinukset: Noise of the flushing toilets from adjacent rooms in the hostal.

Plussat: we loved breakfast room and the breakfast and their own restaurant downstairs was reasonably priced and great and so were the staff,,the wall walk is well worth it..and the tuk tuk ride was also worth it..the tuk tuk is just to the right of the hotel..the walled city is the best we have seen so far..information straight across from hotel...>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

Miinukset: the shower was to scary for words.we used it once in 3 days..it was so small that when you moved in the shower you would knock the tap handle and burn or freeze yourself..and we are not over big people..

Plussat: The bathroom & shower were excellent

Miinukset: The lights in the underground garage don't stay on long enough to allow you remove luggage from your vehicle

Plussat: Clean room

Miinukset: I arrived late and there was no food available. I had to leave early and once again, no food before 7.30am.

Plussat: Thanks

Miinukset: Thanks

Plussat: Value for money, safe and convenient location for the drive south to Nerja.

Miinukset: More snacks / tapas in the brasserie.

Plussat: The location only, the room was not clean properly the A/C did not work well and the place it’s a little run down and it says it’s 4 stars but I would give it two.

Plussat: Good value for money and centrally located overlooking the walled Town.

Miinukset: The cafeteria could have had a more varied menu for snacks.

Plussat: Hotel was located outside the walls of Avila but a few minutes drive to all the convents and churches. Located almost across the street from the 4 post monument. Staff friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: Restaurant was pricey for a mediocre meal.

Plussat: Good location

Miinukset: I hoped for a room with a good view, but we had a room at the back of the hotel with not much of a view.

Plussat: The breakfast was the only redeeming feature of this old, poorly maintained property.

Miinukset: The lack of hot water one day. The inability to control the temperature of the shower the next day. The fact that the dust in the room and blankets make it impossible for my daughter to sleep. The poor condition of the pool and surrounding areas, and lack of lifeguard midday, which made it impossible for us to swim. The property has seen better days, but now is very poorly kept up. It should be an embarrassment for the Fontecruz chain.

Plussat: The place is really quite

Miinukset: The place is a little bit old

Plussat: Large room, peaceful location ( until the wedding party began ). Good selection for breakfast, good evening meals. Short drive to the edge of Avila town then a 1euro bus ride to the town walls and gates.

Miinukset: We'd booked the spa but unfortunately it was closed for our 5 night stay. We were given free meals in the restaurant as compensation. Bit of a nuisance that for 3 nights we had to accompany the waiter to reception to have this confirmed. On the last night of our stay there was a wedding party. The very loud music began around midnight and continued until 05.00hrs! Why we were placed in a room with the marquee just below our window we cannot imagine!! Do NOT stay on a Saturday night!

Plussat: The waiters, staff and reception staff were very helpful and polite. The room clean and tidy and the bed was enormous and really comfortable. The bathroom was fabulous and the TV had the Disney Junior channel to entertain the little ones.

Miinukset: The outdoor swimming pool was closed from 1pm to 4 pm and closed again in the evening, bit too early for a hot summer day. However, the swimming pool lifeguard was very helpful and friendly.

Plussat: Calm, homely, well comunicated, excelent monumental location, unexpensive, surrounded by nature, bonuses for booking.com bookers.

Miinukset: N/A
