"They ripped us off with the price and service. 🚽"

"Hyvä aamiainen, todella mukava henkilökunta"

"The Hotel is a rather odd, and not entirely successful mixture, of the historic and modern. Location is good, an old building in a quiet street (which you could easily park on) although covered secure parking is also available at rear of Hotel –for a fee. The original building around the reception area is old and retains the original Spanish architectural style and feel. However, the part of the building housing the accommodation has been given a very modern make over. The room we had was reasonably spacious and well equipped with designer lights and furnishing and power showers, the beds comfortable. But it was also very gloomy. The main drawback is that the windows only look out onto an inner atrium and therefore the only views are the windows of the rooms opposite. There is virtually no natural light. We felt as if we were in a rather luxurious cave or an inner cabin of a cruise ship. There was nothing to indicate we were in an old building in a traditional Spanish town. In short there was no sense of place. The Rector is also closely linked with a restaurant with a high reputation but we can't say if this is deserved as it is closed on Mondays, the night we happened to stay (not that the reception staff seemed entirely clear on this point as they booked us a table there). However there are a number of good restaurants around the main square, itself a great place to take an evening stroll and open air pre-dinner drinks. It is only about a gentle 10 minute walk from the Hotel. In many ways this is a perfectly pleasant Hotel which many people may like but given the gloomy rooms and lack of atmosphere our conclusion was it lacked that "special" quality to justify the room rates. We checked out the Parador which is only 5 minutes away, one of the beauties of old Almagro is that nothing is more than 10 minutes walk, and from what we saw bearing in mind we did not stay there, it would appear to be the better option."

"What you see is what you get, nothing is overstated on the web: nice, calm, beautifully decorated. Breakfast is real good; location very central and, above all, staff is very attentive. The patio is a faithful recreation of a typical Manchego Patio, inviting and welcoming, we enjoyed a cold beer!"

"- Tämä on todella vaikuttava hotelli. Varokaa, hyvä aamiainen. Tulemme takaisin."
