Tiene una ubicación excelente en el corazón de la ciudad desde donde se puede ir a restaurantes, tiendas y bares. Estuvimos seis días, Agradecemos que nos cambiaran de habitación sin problema porque la primera estaba lejos del ascensor y mi marido ya es mayor y no puede caminar fácilmente Los baños están reformados pero solo con bañera alta no adaptada para mayores. Habitaciones con Plato de ducha serian necesarias para que minusválidos y personas de edad tengan más seguridad y no se caigan.

Beautiful hotel, friendly staff and delicious food

This is an absolutely lovely hotel with excellent, well furnished, luxurious rooms and it is beautifully presented. Lunch or dinner in the covered courtyard is a must and very well set out and served by attentive, friendly staff. The Tavern was closed on the days we stayed which was disappointing but drinks and snacks were still available in the courtyard. La Lola (gastro café?) was sadly disappointing and rather soulless (not sure what crowd or market they are trying to attract) but the rest of the hotel is really charming and an excellent base from which to explore Ávila.

Great two-night stay in Avila

Had an enjoyable 2-night stay at the Hotel Palacio de los Velada. Was able to park the car for a short time in front of the hotel to unload bags and check in before moving the car to the hotel's car park.

Room was nicely appointed, very comfortable, quiet, and had a view above the interior courtyard of the cathedral. Quality linens.

Breakfast was included in our rate and was a large buffet.

Have no complaints about this property and recommend it!

Perfect location but service only adequate

Hotel is in the ideal location of Avila. Easy walking distance to dining, shopping, and all the attractions we came to visit. Our first room had a bad smell of sewer but the staff gave us another room without question. The front desk service was acceptable but not really friendly to any inquires we had. The new room was nice and very quiet in the evenings with a courtyard view over the banquet area but the bed was not very comfortable. The main courtyard bar area downstairs offers a nice selection of food in a casual bar lobby type setting but after we ordered coffee one afternoon about 4:00pm we tried to order food and they said they stopped serving until 8. There were at least 6 servers still on duty for a handful of guests but nowhere on their menu did they show their food service hours so a bit frustrating. We also had a drink at the La Taberna bar in the basement which had a very cool underground vibe. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend the hotel purely for location but the customer service side really could take it up a notch to make international guests feel more welcome.

Great location, pity about the service.

Welcome from reception was non existent, purley functional. We called hotel to get info on parking - you have to go through a series of menus to get to reception including an English speaking option. Despite this we could not be understood so we're cut off.... twice. Hotel is very nice and in a great location but the unwelcoming reception and lack of any real personal service lets it down. If driving you can't book parking in the hotels garage, so it's first come first serve and the garage has very limited space for the size of hotel, so get there early otherwise you'll be forced to park some way away.

This is unquestionably the best hotel in Avila! Historic, beautiful building, excellent location. My only quibble was that the first room I was given was not very pleasant: relatively small, hot, no window just a skylight. I asked for another and got a very nice, airy room with French doors and a small balcony. Bathroom was quite large with an excellent tub. All in all, very good value.

Overpriced.

The photo of the central courtyard is inticing - and it is lovely in reality - but the rest of the hotel doesn’t live up to it. I think the renovation was around 15 years ago - and it shows. It’s all a bit passé now. Didn’t eat there but there are lots of bars and restaurants a 5 min stroll away, and parking on the outskirts of the walls was only €1.05 for 24 hours. Just need to park in the right direction though (Hotel didn’t mention that but luckily a local did when we were parking).

Great hotel, beautiful village, good value

This is a wonderful hotel from every perspective. Service was consistenly excellent. Our room was spacious and bright. Bed and all linens were premium. The bathroom is spacious and made of marble and very attractive matching tile. New bathroom fixtures. Everything is kept scrupously clean. The hotel has a beautiful central atrium with glass ceiling with an overall cover that is drawn to provide shade during hottest time of day. Resturant and bar are in atrium. Parking is under the hotel. Best of all, the hotel is right on the cathedral plaza, right in the center of town. Two minute walk to cathedral, less than five minute walk to entrance to stairs leading up to walk along the wall the surrounds the town. Avila is very charming. The hotel's plain facade belies a very lovely interior. This hotel added much to our enjoyment of touring and visiting there. Only downside is that the hotel elevator does not descend to garage level. Rather than carrying luggage up a long flight of stairs from garage to lobby elevator, we unloaded at lobby level before parking in the garage. Simple solution to a minor problem. Also, gates through the medieval walls entering the townstreets are very narrow as are the streets throughout town.....but that's to be expected in such an old town. Overall: Great hotel, beautiful town, good value for money.
