The location was superb – near to all the important parts of the old city, but not noisy – as were the staff, who were at pains to help us and recommend places to visit, eat and so on.
The room was great for the two of us as well, with plenty of space and storage

It is supposed to be a 4-Star hotel. You are greeted with a sofa in reception that belongs in a rubbish dump. Our Room (41) was up top and so our windows were small with views of rooftops and the lovely storks nesting. Yes it meant it was quiet but we missed a street view and the passing Semana Santa processions which we came for. Our room was like a studio flat with mis-matched furniture and TV awkwardly positioned - you had to be careful not to cut yourself on the window frame if you opened a window and wanted to move pass a glass top table. Not 4-star design. Also much water was wasted as it took several minutes for the shower hot water to start. Not eco friendly. The staff however were lovely. Shame about the property itself. This should not advertise itself as 4-star.

My hotel room was very disappointing. It was misrepresented. Nothing like the pictures on the website. And an old air conditioning unit located in a small area away from the actual bedroom so relatively ineffective in the bedroom. No TV in the bedroom area, stains that had not been cleaned in the bathroom tub. Bright white hospital lighting throughout only natural light came through some windows that were about 5 feet off the floor that looked on to a roof full of pigeon poop and some trash. The ceiling slanted down to barely 7 feet high at its lowest. So it felt like a cave. The furniture was dated and the whole room was very uninviting. Fortunately, I didn’t spend much time in my room, because for such a beautiful town, the room is fairly depressing. When I asked to be moved, I was told I was given the last room available , and that otherwise they would’ve moved me. No four-star or even three star hotel should rent a room like this.

Awesome place, love the location

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel while attending the AATSP conference in Salamanca. The location is fabulous, right in the middle of things, mere steps from the Plaza Mayor. The management was wonderful to us and extremely sweet and considerate with my friend who had gotten an ankle injury hiking El Camino de Santiago. Breakfast was super awesome as well since it was downstairs in an old Roman ruin and offered anything you would possibly want for breakfast. Just don’t try to go down before 8:00, the lady didn’t like that. Amazingly she remembers how everyone likes their coffee! The room was great, had air conditioning. I would definitely go there again in a heartbeat, oh laundry place is just around the corner.

Excellent hotel, great location

Our favorite hotel in Salamanca, a city where we lived for several years in the past and a city that we love and have visited every year for the last 45 years; There are larger and more luxurious hotels but for the combination of location, comfort, cleanliness,price and friendliness ,the Rua can't be beat; Located right next to the Plaza Mayor, the heart of the city, it is extremely clean, and offers every comfort expected of its class ; An excellent buffet breakfast was included in our package; Only hitch is that it has no parking of its own although there is a large municipal parking a couple of blocks away; All of the city's magnificent sights, of which there are many, are within walking distance, as are many restaurants and stores.

Don't stay here if you have a car.

For an inexpensive hotel, the Rua was fine. The room was small, but to be expected in a European hotel. It was very clean and quiet. The breakfast buffet in the morning was nice.

The only issue we had is that we had a car. Our fault for not checking out the parking situation - which is truly awful in the center of Salamanca. The street the Rua is on is a walking street only, so we couldn't drive up, leave our bags and ask where to park. After driving around for almost an hour, we found a parking garage many blocks away and had to drag our luggage through the city.

My advice - if you have a car, find a hotel with parking.

Great location,excellent hotel.

Superbly well located right next to the Plaza Mayor, the heart of the city of Salamanca, this small but very atractive, modern, and comfortable hotel has been our choice for years when visiting Salamanca, which we do frequently as the city has a special meaning for us; There are more luxurious , larger, and more expensive hotels in Salamanca, but none offer the combination of quality, price, and location, that Hotel Rua does ; AND, an excellent buffet breakfast is included in the already excellent price; Our highest recommendations...Only hitch is the lack of parking at the hotel itself, but there is a large municipal multilevel parking about two blocks away ( for a fee of approximately 13 € per day, about $17 ).

The hotel provides a very nice affordable breakfast in a basement room that resembles a wine cellar. Price wise this hotel is a great deal.

Great Hotel, but parking 4 blocks away

We really liked this hotel. It's even hard to find with a GPS, but the location is excellent - right in the center of the old section. Parking is about 4 blocks away but reasonable price for inside parking in huge spaces with attendants to direct you to you parking space! Uphill walk from there to hotel but not too challenging. We contacted the hotel ahead of time to request a room with a view, and they were most cooperative. Room was clean and relatively large. We liked the breakfast (included). Loved Salamanca and loved this hotel!

Location was the best part

For the price, this was ok. The front desk has a single person whi was sometimes helpful and other times not. The decorating is cute sort of what you'd see in a 20-something's room. Obviously done on a budget, but nice. The bed and pillow were very uncomfortable. And the tub/shower was strange- placed the long way in an alcove so you couldn't reach to turn it on without getting soaked with cold water. Breakfast similar to what you'd get an inexpensive chain hotel in the US. But the location is excellent! If you're on a budget and sleep like a rock regardless of the bed- it's a great pace to stay.

My fiancé and I stayed here for four nights. It was conveniently located to the metro and a short walk to the main shopping areas. The Gaudi house was a twenty min walk, la Sagrada Familia was quick metro ride away. A few restaurants close by, a bit pricey, but typical for Barcelona. Nice cafe across the street where we got our breakfast!

A Wonder!!

We stayed at Hotel Rua twice on our trip to Europe, first for two days and then a few days later for four. We paid between 62 and 65 Euro's a night and for this price it was the best deal on the whole trip! The Desk and Cleaning staff were very friendly, and even spoke a little English!
The location is perfect, you are within a mile radius of all of the sites, cathedrals, the university,parks and what seems a thousand cafes! You should remember that this was built in the 1860's so you are not going to get a modern hotel layout. The stairs are narrow, there is a small elevator and the rooms are in odd shapes. We has to enter out bathtub from the end instead of the side. That being said our room was very comfortable and Very Clean! Room service was done daily and new towels were provided, not always the case in Europe. Bring your own washcloth if you use one as they were not provided at any of the places we stayed at. We purchased some in Salamanca.
It is located downtown and you can get to it by Taxi however we just walked from the Bus station, it takes about 20 minutes. In Salamanca a steady stream of students are going down the streets with rolling luggage! You will look right in place!
Checkout is at Noon and we did not leave town until four, we just asked the staff to hold the luggage and they put it aside for us.
My wife and I loved the Hotel Rua, after a long day of site seeing it was like coming home! Would certainly stay again!
