This is a great hotel, a comfortable 10-minute walk from the historic centre. It is spotless and spacious, and the staff is friendly and accommodating. The delicious breakfast buffet sets you up for the day and is varied enough to avoid getting tired of the options. The hotel is in a quiet area and is very safe. Since it is part of a chain, it attracts families and conference guests. The soundproofing is not good in the rooms, though, so full conversations may be heard. Overall, an excellent choice.

Reception staff efficient but over-professional rather than friendly. Room was nice as we upgraded for a charge on arrival (for tea making facility) & we had a good view. However, the TV was “over smart” and English channels were muted. A digital guide to Salamanca would have been v helpful. Bathroom was missing shampoo, lotion ran out and no shower caps provided. Shower and bidet were great. Breakfast was offered but more expensive if left till the morning. Great to have car parking. Beds were lovely and comfortable.

Pretty Average!

We had tried a number of hotels during many stopover in Salamanca and I must admit this was the most underwhelming.

The hotel location was probably the highlight of our stay. It was mostly an aging hotel that is showing its years in terms of decor and furnishings.

We were assigned an odd room suitable for handicapped. Receptionist did not speak much English and refused to change room. The showerhead holder was broken but the managed to fixed it immediately.

Both parking garage and breakfast were quite adequate.

Great hotel ideal for a Salamaca city break

Marked overall stay down as we were initially in a room overlooking a roof/courtyard with central heating ducts + main duct ran up the wall near our window. Made it noisy at night if you had the window open and audible even with the window closed. We were moved after talking to reception. The staff were very friendly and helpful, rooms are spacious and nice to have a gym/sauna. Location is ideal for city sightseeing and only a short walk to the main square or down to the river. Highly recommended but suggest you request a room overlooking the front of the hotel.

Disappointing.

Location okay. Nice hotel but pretentious. Staff neutral - not friendly, not rude. The worst part was the restaurant. We got there about 10:00 pm and just wanted a simple meal after traveling all day. The restaurant was pretentious fancy but the food was awful. Wilty lettce in the salad, sharp dressing made me cough. Breakfast was okay but nothing special. No air conditioning, which I found really weird for a hotel like this. The window opened, but no screens and Salamanca seems to have lots of bugs. The good thing is there are also lots of swallows and bats. I was a little worried about bats flying in the window, but they didn't. It would have been nice to have larger window with screen. And with no air conditioning, the breakfast room/restaurant was very hot and stuffy.

nice hotel close to University Conference facility

Stayed 5 nights with my partner while attending a conference nearby. Unbeatable location for that purpose. Although the reception was a bit gruff, perhaps due to language issues, overall experience was great. Our room had a little balcony where one could sit and enjoy the view and perhaps a cup of tea or a glass of wine. However, the hotel did not provide a hot water kettle or a tea/coffee maker to actually allow doing this. The bar/restaurant was very good, but room service was poor. First because there were no clear description of what was available - like various breakfast items and second there was a language barrier with lots of \"no entiendos\" (don't understand). Third, the actual food served was less than ideal compared to other 4 star hotels I have stayed. Finally, the instructions for operating the room safe are incorrect, leaving you in a bind if you have to call the reception for someone to come and open the safe for you. So in summary, the location is great, the rooms are clean and comfortable, but the amenities in the room and food service leaves much to be desired.

Overrated hotel!

Satisfactory. They claim to be a 4-star hotel but they deserve one star less than that! Why? Service was slow, the staff was not warm and welcoming at all, and they did not know how to think 2 steps ahead to meet their guests' needs! We had to call the front desk before using the spa (from our room because the phone in the gym/spa area was dead), then we had to call again because they had no towels in the room, they charged extra for every little thing (wifi, early check in, late check out--things that were accommodated for free at the hotel we stayed in the night before that was just one street over!) parking in the area is hard but don't ask the staff for help because they will take your money and give you a blank stare, like, \"we don't guarantee anything at this hotel, we just take the next sucker's money and insist that there is nothing we can do. Sorry!\" So if you don't mind getting hosed, stay here.
