Villarreal de San Carlos Hotels from S$64

"This place is rather grand and cavernous - but feels more like a place for conferences now (there's no bar to relax in), and the wide staircase and long stretches of corridors made it feel like The Overlook Hotel in The Shining. Despite having very few customers, we ended up in a room with a view overlooking what looked like the staff kitchen and cleaning room, and the central core of the hotel (basically all the metal shafts, etc.), where water was constantly dripping, echoing all night. Saying that we enjoyed the weirdness, and the staff were excellent, as was the buffet breakfast, which was included."

"Very nice stay very close to everything don't hesitate book it xxx"

"Really enjoyed our stay. One slight issue was on the sunday night I asked for some hot water in a flask. The kind desk person took me to the bar area. The person behind the bar then filled the flask. I said thank you. The bar lady looked at me and shrugged her shoulders. She did not speak. She was a bad advert for the hotel"

"What an amazing historic property right in the centre of the old walled city! Restaurant in the centuries-okd refectory served wonderful local food and wines at lunch and dinner. Underground night bar is a hidden gem to find. Parking quirky but so very convenient once you find it!"

"Clean room, comfy beds, friendly staff, and good food."

"I gave this property 10 out of 10. If I could give it more, I would, because it deserves it and it was one of the nicest places I have stayed while walking the Camino de la Plata. Ceser could not have been more kind or helpful. He even offered to come and collect me because I was lost and had walked approx 4km past Grimaldo by mistake. The location is great (right on the Camino de la Plata - despite me gettong lost). The room was warm, clean and very comfortable and simple but beautifully decorated. Would highly recommend. Thank you Cesar."

"Clean room well presented, great staff and good food and drinks. Ideal half way stopover."

"Great choice at breakfast both fresh and freshly cooked. Almost everything homemade. The building has been converted to a really elegant hotel. The garden is a real bonus."

"Very disappointed, the pool was closed, was filthy and looked to be in that state for a LONG time. "
