I always read trip advisor reviews before picking a hotel but unfortunately in Toledo I didn't have time and boy did I live to regret it. Our luggage was delayed from the Madrid airport and we needed to call to find out the status. Issue 1: We asked at the front desk how much it cost to call Madrid. The man checking us in said no cost. We asked him three times in English and with our guidebook Spanish, he clearly stated "Madrid calls free no problem use your room phone and call its free" When we checked out we were charged over 20 euros for our calls and the manager refused to waive it. Issue 2: The air conditioner in our room was on the fritz. We asked them to look at it. They insisted it was fine if you stood right by the vent. I told her that the rest of the room is burning but for that one spot, she told me that this is how air conitioning is in Spain. I can tell you I've stayed at other hotels in spain and Spain has air conditioners that work. Issue 3: The noise. We checked in at 1 and someone was hammering away very very loudly in the hotel room.
We were jet lagged and looking for a good nap. The noise did not end until 4pm, and the next morning resumed at 11am. Also, the street is a main road and we heard chatter and the sound of every car that drove by. Also the walls must be made of paper because we could hear Everthing.
I gain a lot of value from trip advisor reviewers and wanted to share my two cents so you do not have to waste your money and peace of mind at a place like this.
