This rather well worn converted Palacio is much more enjoyable and satisfying than sleeker more modern options. We didn’t have a room with views over the town, but rather an internal courtyard but we opened the French doors wide and enjoyed the quiet and the fresh air. The bed was huge and slightly firm, just as we like. The bathroom was generous in size and the shower strength was strong with plenty of hot water. There is a large wardrobe to hang your clothes and an OK TV. But best of all were the two adjoining roofed courtyards on the ground floor. The first courtyard has the best reviewed restaurant in Avila. The second courtyard is the breakfast buffet area. We were delighted with both. We were at the hotel for four nights and we loved it, both for is unpretentious charm and for its perfect location inside the old town walls right next to the cathedral.

We had a very poor experience in Madrid and decided to travel to Avila by train for a few days. The experience was fabulous in every way. Carmen Alonso took our reservation, modified it and checked us in, she was enthusiastic and informative. The building was an actual palace within the walls of the city and the accommodation was wonderful. Large fully equipped bath, quiet and comfortable room (great linens). The housing staff rival anything in the world. The breakfast was without reproach, with attentive staff, and wonderful fresh ingredients kept presented as if new for every guest. The cafe and restaurant in the centre of the lobby are an experience in itself. The Maitre D, and his staff treat every table as a valued client. Travel to Avila and leave the big cities. This 3 day side trip made our visit to Spain. Pay to walk the parapets of the Castle, it is worth it.

“Very good, but....”

The hotel fully deserves the plaudits it receives here. However, on 19th September last, there was a water supply problem in central Ávila which turned all the water a light brown colour.

The hotel fully deserves the plaudits it receives here. However, on 19th September last, there was a water supply problem in central Ávila which turned all the water a light brown colour. I appreciate that the hotel management had no control over this; however, since drinking water was affected, the least they could have done was a) to post an advisory notice in public areas and via the in-room television service and b) to provide bottles of mineral water. They did neither.
