"If you need a break from the buzz of Madrid or just a chill stop on your way east, Hotel Ballestar is a great pick. Only an hour’s drive from the city, it’s peaceful and scenic — perfect for unwinding.
The rooms are spacious and comfy, with balconies and amazing sunset views. The whole place feels warm and welcoming, like a home away from home.
Close by, there’s the charming town of Tarancón and the Segóbriga Archaeological Park with its impressive Roman theater — definitely worth a visit.
The hotel’s restaurant serves tasty local food at good prices.
In short, Ballestar isn’t just a place to sleep — it’s a cozy spot you’ll want to come back to."
"Pros - Friendly and efficient staff, bed very comfortable, breakfast quite good, complementary wine at checkout. Cons - sensor over bed has annoying red leds which flash all night. Curtains difficult to open."
"Quaint, rural hotel with local Spanish ambience. Basic room with all we needed for one night. Great meal and service. Staff very attentive and friendly. Overall, a very good experience."
"Worth the stop. Staff makes all the difference. They were great and helpful - from the front desk to the bar and cafeteria. Treatment was professional!"
