We stayed one night at Palacio de los Velada during Semana Santa. We actually had a difficult time finding the hotel in walled city (it was my first experience driving inside a walled city, honestly), but once I called the hotel, it was very clear. The hotel is just inside the walls near the San Vicente entrance. There is no... more

We drove into Avila on a cold December day. Palacio de los Velada was exactly the treat we needed. With good directions the hotel is pretty easy to find, only a short way inside the Avila city walls, much easier than most walled city hotels. Parking costs 16 Euros but is worth it with a very secure underground garage. We... more

There are plenty of other hotels in the area. And a lot of them are probably also cheaper. But this hotel was so impressive and so perfectly located, that I just think they give great value for money. What else can you ask for? Close to the Cathedral (literally a stone throw away), close to a zillion restaurants, close if... more

I stayed here for one night, April 12, 2008 on a drive back to Madrid. I really liked this hotel. Although it is hard to drive to, once you find the hotel and its garage, it is a great place to stay. It is right next to the Cathedral and you can walk to all places quite easily in this... more

We arrived late afternoon in Avila for one night stay at the Palacio. I was assigned a room in the attic which was very hot and a bit cramped. I asked to be moved as the room was so hot and the air-conditioning did not work. The helpful man on the front desk advised me that the airconditioning was only... more

Well, this is probably the best price for value we had in Castille. Location is perfect, in front of the Cathedral, could not be better. The hotel is a big think of 150 rooms, but you really don't feel it, seems a boutique hotel. The old building has been carefully upgraded and renovated (pics are on display about the work,... more

We stayed here for one night in late September. The hotel is beautiful, and our room was very nice but was quite small. The staff was very accommodating. The hotel has an attached parking garage, which is very convenient -- but be warned that the hotel does not guarantee spaces in garage for all of its guests. Access to the... more

Stayed here 2 nights and enjoyed it very much. The hotel is fairly easy to get to by car and has the benefit of a parking garage. Being so well located in the Cathedral plaza, parking is none existant so this garage is essential if you are touring by car. The hotel is an old palace, beautifully converted and quite... more

Great hotel, nicely restored in a fascinating walled city. The rooms were comfortable, with non-chain hotel furniture, and very comfortable beds. Front desk staff very helpful. Far better than the average chain. Excellent value for the price. more
