I spent two nights at the Silken Reino in July 2007. I had already stayed at the Silken Diagonal in Barcelona last year and came to conclusion that they are a good chain of hotels. We booked a double room via the hotel website at a convenient rate (70 euros per night). My partner and I decided to spend the weekend in Zaragoza for a very very short escape (we booked with Ryanair a return flight from Milan at 25 Euros per person!).
The Silken is centrally located, has a very pleasant lobby and modern facilities. Didn't spend much time inside the hotel because preferred walking around, but I have to say that rooms are large, clean, modern with air conditioning, safety deposit box and lots of complimentary toliletries. Didn't book breakfast at hotel because when we travel we normally prefer eating in tipical bars around. We found a cozy and lovely bar close to the hotel named Candolias, in Plaza de los Sitios.
Overall great stay, good value.

Great room, good location, quite comfortable. My only quibble is that the only internet connection available is WiFi in the lobby, and they charge 9 euros per day for the connection. For that price, I should be able to at least plug in via ethernet in my room.

My son and I were on an extended driving tour of Spain. We'd visited Barcelona for several days, spent a couple of days in the Pyrenees, and intended to drive from around the Andorra area to Madrid in one day. But ... we took our time, looking at some unanticipated beautiful sites along the way. We found ourselves too tired to continue driving about the time we hit Zaragoza.

So we just drove into town and started looking for a hotel. It is a very charming city, and we found ourselves driving in relatively narrow alleys, having NO idea where we were or where we were going. We stumbled upon the Silken Reino at about the moment that our patience was set to completely run out. And what a great find it turned out to be.

We were VERY travel weary, and did were not in the mood for an "authentic local experience" (often double-speak for tiny rooms, weird furniture and floor coverings, and odd/miniscule bathrooms - although not always ...). What we found in the Silken Reino was a lovely, very well appointed lobby - a clean, modern looking decor set in what seemed to be a relatively old building. The front desk staff were absolutely charming and exceptionally welcoming to these two bone tired Americans. I was a bit skeptical when I heard the price for the room (105 euros), I thought it would be the Spanish equivalent of a Red Roof Inn room. But when we were taken to our room, we were stunned to find a VERY large room - even by U.S. standards - beautifully appointed with very modern light-cherry and chrome furnishings, luxurious bed linens, sparkling clean hardwood floors, a HUGE bathroom with a very large shower (with tremendous water pressure - a luxury ANYWHERE). We had found "weary travel" heaven.

Staff seemed to all speak english, so I was able to give my so-so spanish a rest after a week of abuse. And they were very helpful in giving us directions to the many interesting sites, restaurants, bars, etc. in the area. And most of the interesting sites are within easy walking distance of the hotel.

We were so impressed with both the Silken Reino and Zaragoza that we stayed an extra night. I can't recommend this hotel enough. It's not a Ritz Carleton or Four Seasons facility, but it IS a beautifully executed high-class, high-service hotel that will make you feel very much at home.

We have since stayed in many Hoteles Silken, and are typically highly pleased.

I booked for business purposes in this hotel because the one where I used to go all the time (Melia) was full and so where most of the other upscale hotels in town. I booked a room on the business floor, because you have some extra's (perhaps they are imitating the Royal Service by Melia, but it could not compare even by far). The hotel is comfortable, but lacking character. Service was good, as in most Silken hotels, but i cannot say I had an overwhelming experience here (must be the reason why I forgot to write my review on this one!).

Recommened for business purposes and short leisure stays.
