If you are traveling by train, this is one of the closest hotels to the station; about a 20 minute walk across the river. The center of Toledo where Plaza Zocodover and the other sights are located is a 15-minute walk uphill. If you are a walker and you pick another hotel that is near these sights, you will be dragging your luggage uphill 15 minutes to get to your hotel. So besides this being the cheapest hotel of our trip through Spain (42 Euros including VAT), we picked this hotel to avoid the trudge uphill with our bags. The room reservation was made in English on booking.com, which requires a credit card to hold the reservation but nothing is charged until the day you depart the hotel. The hotel also has its own website at hotelesmartin.com. The room had a tile floor, private bath, and TV. There was no air conditioning. The “balcony” was a small 1-foot-wide extension outside the window. There was a phone in the room, but the dialing buttons only produced rotary-dial clicks so it would not work with our calling card. The front desk was not able to make the call either, so we ended up at a phone booth at the small plaza down the street. There was no Internet computer at the hotel for guest use. There is a small Internet café near the hotel that the hotel staff directed us to, but it was closed when we tried it. There is another one on the road up the hill to the main town plaza. That one worked ok, but it was unbearably hot inside. Breakfast at the hotel was 6 Euros and was adequate. It was served in their good-sized lobby area. Although the posted breakfast hours didn’t start until rather late (8:30AM I think), the food was out early and I was able to eat at 7:30AM. Although we didn’t need it, car parking rate is 10 Euros per day. FYI, the sights in town, such as the cathedral and the synagogues, don’t open until 10AM. This hotel was convenient and quite adequate. We would stay here again.
