The place is great, confortable and very clean. Because of its location, it is a little outdated but we were satisfied with the facility and service.

Quaint Hotel with Rustic Charm
Quaint little hotel with very nice staff. Clean rooms and comfortable beds. Toilet kept running in our room overnight and the view from the window was just an adjacent rooftop. Breakfast was disappointing with only simple toast, muffin, and juice/tea/coffee. Excellent surrounding restaurants.

Lovely hotel fantastic decor.
Room was very large, super comfortable bed and a balcony with two chairs.
The bathroom was enormous with a balcony.
Staff was very friendly helpful and polite.
Dinner was good and interesting choice of meals.
The drinks were slightly expensive but considering the good price of the room with breakfast included and dinner
That’s was fine.
We will definitely stay here again and would recommend this lovely hotel.
We would rate it a 10/10 😀

Hotel con salida rapida desde la A4. Muy cerca del museo de la batalla de las Navas de Tolosa. Tiene un restaurante con una carta no muy extensa pero de gran calidad aparte la zona de restaurante está renovada y es muy agradable. El desayuno está incluido pero es lo más pobre, sin zumo de naranja natural y las tostadas solo pate, aceite y azucar. Si quieres Jamon (No lo recomiendo) es con un plus. Personal muy atento y simpatico. Las habitaciones espaciosas y calefactadas. Para una noche en el camino muy contentos.

Séjour agréable dans un hôtel familial
Séjour très agréable dans cet hôtel familial situant à la sortie de l'autoroute.
Chambre bien insonorisée malgré l'autoroute qui est à côté. Les parkings gratuits nombreux situant sur les côtés de la route de l'hôtel
