We realised that we would arrive after the 18.00 cut off for our reservation so phoned ahead, the receptionist assured us that the reservation would be held for us despite what time we arrived. Our room on the 2nd floor was large and overlooked the substantial parking area, there was a flat screen tv (spanish programmes} and air conditioning.The bathroom was fitted with new sanitary ware and there was a shower over the bath.One could eat in the Restaurant or the cafeteria we chose the latter as the meals were plentiful and appeared to be freshly cooked and also much cheaper.The location was outside Salamanca proper by approx 4km but there is an hourly shuttle bus (public transport) to the city from the grounds of the hotel avoiding the parking nightmare in the centre. We liked the pricing structure of the hotel 50 Euro for a double inc breakfast in the low season, the free internet access in the public area and congenial staff. I have been using this Hotel over a number of years and fail to find anything adverse that I would consider worth mentioning for the price one pays.

I chose this hotel based on other reviews. The hotel is situated on a totally ordinary commercial stretch of road about 5 km from Salamanca, perhaps a 15 minute ride into town. The hotel also offers a campground and space for recreational vehicles. While this might be off-putting to some, it adds to the amenities available in that parking is plentiful and there is a nice size swimming pool and a tennis court, should you be so inclined. The lobby and public areas are marble and the welcome is warm. Rooms are comfortable, with space to move around, have hardwood floors and marble bathrooms. Rooms have air conditioning, although it was not turned on during our mid-spring visit. Beds were typical of what we found in Spain: hard. Some might say firm, but I call them hard. I prefer more give than a carpeted floor to sleep on, and found virtually every bed I slept on hard. The bed sheets were actually quite nice.

I chose Regio because with a car, we could stay in a quality place (it was), drive to town when we wanted (they also have a complimentary shuttle service every hour, if you choose to leave the driving to them) and put the savings for the room towards our evening meal. That worked out extremely well, as we had an excellent vegetarian meal (great value) in the residential part of Salamanca at El Grillo Azul, thanks to a recommendation in our Rough Guide travel book. This is a very nice hotel at an extremely reasonable price.

Very old hotel, must have been rated 4 stars 30 years ago! Furniture is old and equipment broken, bad sound isolation, pools are shared by people on some camping there, food is bad and little variety, you get internet for free but they disconnect the network on purpose if your using for more than half an hour even at late hours were there is no one else to use it, staff is unfriendlly.

Lots of parking for cars though.

Hotel is distant from Salamanca city.

This Hotel is 4 KM from Salamanca and is 1 km from nearest town (Santa Marta) which closes at 8:30.Not exactly 4 star but clean. We were stuck here on our tour. Better be real cheap to want to stay here though they have free parking.Better to stay IN Salamanca Proper.Steve
