I had read the reviews and I booked, for 2 nights, well in advance and direct with the hotel/hostal. I'd imagined we'd get one of the double rooms shown on the main website photo but instead we got a rather dark twin room at the back with a view of a wall! I should probably have taken more note of... More

Simple and very clean, cheap and cheerful. This little hostel is located on the 1st floor above a tapas bar just walking distance from all the major sights. A really great location with the added bonus of parking facilities. Oscar at the front desk will bend over backwards to help and ensure that you are comfortable. He is also a... More

Spent two nights (Fri 2 march to Sunday 4 March 2012) staying at this really great little boutique style hotel right by the main square, with everything close by. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, the rooms really nice and comfortable. It doesn't have a lift or restaurant which is probably why it is termed a hostel but don't... More

I have spent two nights, January 24-26, 2012, in Hostel Plaza Mayor, room no. 34. The hostel has lots of favorable points: firstly, it has a splendid location, just off Plaza Mayor, on the way connecting to Plaza del Corillo. All sites are 5 to 10 minutes walking distance. The hostel building is also lovely, supported by columns that form... More

Hotel Plaza Mayor and the service of Óscar Borrego at the front desk made our Salamanca stay the highlight of our 3 weeks in Spain. The location, at the entrance of Plaza Mayor, was perfect for exploring the entire town and finding places to eat nearby. Because of double windows, our room was quiet even though we were in the...

Hotel Plaza Mayor in Salamanca (not to be confused with the somewhat similar budget hotel of the same name in Madrid) is an ideal place to stay for those who wish to economize without having to put up with less than desirable accommodations. It offers clean, comfortable rooms in the very heart of Salamanca's Centro Historico, just a few feet... More

This hotel has to be one of the nicest little finds in the city centre. Perfect for exploring the local area. More

We arrived in Salamanca during their annual fiesta and were right in the thick of things at this hostal. Plaza Mayor was a hive of activity with concerts each night and thousands of people in attendance and yet once back in our room, we couldn't hear any outside noise at all. Clean and well appointed rooms, friendly and helpful staff,... More

I have stayed here about 7 different times over the last 4 years, usually for about a week each time. I don't think I have found a better value for the price anywhere else in Spain, and I've travelled a LOT in Spain. The rooms are small, but nicely decorated and well-maintained with gleaming hard-wood floors. It seems every time... More
