The hotel itself is absolute bonkers, feels and looks like Addams family holiday home, so if you like quirky (and we do), you can’t go wrong. It’s full of wonderful nooks and crannies, and hidden gardens, a joy to explore!
In terms of hospitality and comfort, don’t expect too much. We were greeted (an overstatement of the year) by a grumpy man who led us up the steep flight of stairs pointedly ignoring the fact that we were struggling with our luggage.
Peeling paint in the room, tired fixtures... still, we were hooked on the quirky vibe and (as I caught a bit of cold and could do with extra day of rest) wanted to spend another night. But the person at reception said indifferently that they were fully booked, although the booking sites showed availability. That did it for us, and we moved 90 yards to another hotel, Alcázar de la Reina and were better off for it!
