When I entered through the gate of Avila I immediately loved the medieval beauty of this place. And I was pleasantly surprised when I saw in which hotel I would be staying. It's beautiful with it's medieval stone walls and it's arches. The staff was formal, but friendly and professional. I had an elegant and very attactive junior-suite with views... More

This is about the best hotel to which I gave only 4 points. The location is perfect, the rooms are outstanding, the breakfast was above average, the decor is almost outstanding, the parking was convenient an there were almost enough spaces. The staff were efficient, courteous and met our every request, but what was lacking was warmth and friendliness. They... More

This is a beautiful hotel with a stunning patio, spacious rooms and comfortable seating areas. It is in an ideal location next to the Cathedral and the stunning medieval walls. There is parking, though from what I gathered, it is limited and is given on a 'first come first served' basis. It is down a very steep ramp at the... More

Located just few meters from the Cathedral; in the center of the old city with the short walking distance to all the interesting points and restaurants of Avila. The room was clean and big. The hotel has a very relaxing atmosphere and nice internal patio where you can have a glass of wine or tea. Good service and convenient underground... More

I chose this hotel because everyone said the view was fantastic. But not for our 60 euro a night room. Instead we got a pleasant enough room but with a tiny window that was high up and looked onto another window about a foot away. When we asked about a view we were told the only rooms with good view... More

Dear Customer, Thank you very much for writing your comments about our hotel. Unfortunately, not all rooms have views of the cathedral, and the selling price of the rooms does not depend on the views; depends on the room types and additional services that you take. We try to improve our prices without losing the quality of our services. We... More

We love this beautiful historic hotel in Avila. The courtyard was lovely and the pictures online did not do justice to its beauty. The room was also very nice and it was huge. I think this hotel has a lot of character as it was renovated from an old palace building. There was actually a picture on the wall in... More

A lovely hotel, but the But in the title says it all. With just the tiniest bit more effort it could be a superb one ,and that's what is so annoying. The location is perfect. They have performed the seemingly impossible trick of having a hotel bang in the centre of the old city without it being too noisy to... More

Very nice hotel in the heart of Avila. We stayed in August 2011. We would definitely stay here again. Loved the ambiance. It is clean and comfortable. My only complaint is the front desk staff are a little "cold". that was a turn off. More

Delighted with our stay in this historic property....only minor observation was the fact that wifi was not accessible in our upper floor room (walls of the hotel probably too thick!).....also, buffet breakfast at 12 euro is ridiculous....we opted for the continental breakfast at 5 euro which was fine .....outstanding location right next to the Cathedral....would not hesitate to recommend.....furnishings appear...

We stayed 6 nights to attend a meeting, and from what we saw and heard from other attendees, this is a superior place to stay. Our room was spacious, especially the bathroom, and the breakfast was excellent. The interior courtyard was pleasantly cool and quiet, a perfect escape from the busy warm streets. The one (fairly serious) drawback was the... More
