"The only reason we did not give this a five star was because our AC was not working as normal. Overall, the hotel was excellent. The food was good. The staff in the buffet breakfast was very helpful and always maintained food items, hot and stocked.
I would definitely come back to this place and hopefully soon."
"This a fabulous luxury hotel made from President Suarez personal residence. It is built into the walls of Avila and has the only pool inside the city walls. The pool and area is stunningly beautiful. Staff was extremely helpful. Breakfast included. Calena restaurant is working towards a star. Room was comfortable and clean, suite included a walk in shower and separate claw foot bath tub. Only regret was 2nd floor rooms ceiling sloped in from the roof line, took some getting used to. You can walk anywhere from here. Highly recommended."
"We stayed here 1 night when driving to Salamanca. Breakfast was good. Property is a little older but very well maintained/clean. Staff spoke English and was very helpful! Would stay here again."
"The hotel location next to the Cathedral is really convenient and the historic architecture inside is stunning. The housekeeping staff are lovely. The breakfast buffet is generous. For travelers arriving at odd hours, it would be good for them to stock the mini bar with some snacks in addition to the bottles of water. Great value for money."
"We honestly cannot fault our stay here. The staff, although they said they spoke little English, they were incredibly helpful! The room is what you pay for. It was spacious and had its own private bathroom and it was clean. The room also provided you with towels and some toiletries/toothbrushes which was very handy. The hostel is situated right next to the train line but having said this, we had no disturbance from the trains passing through. In fact I think we even forgot we were next to a train line at one point.
The accommodation is a short 10-15 minute walk into main Avila. There you can see/visit the Walls of Avila, the Cathedral and many other beautiful historic spots. Every morning we went to a little cafe, just across from the hostel, I think it was called Costellos? But it was so lovely and very reasonably priced.
The locals are very friendly and helpful and Avila as a whole just felt so safe. We would definitely stay here again if we were to visit."
