Unfortunately we only had time for one night in Salamanca but would have liked to stay longer as Microtel Placentinos was really comfortable, the staff were extremely helpful and the location was perfect. Right on the edge of the atmospheric university area in the old part of town, and only five minutes walk from the cathedrals and plaza mayor. Our room was small but the bed was comfortable and we found the decor to be slightly eccentric but not in a bad way! The bathroom had a hydromassage shower but we found it too complicated to operate and it worked well as a normal shower anyway. Our room overlooked the narrow street but it was mostly quiet, apart from one group of rowdy students passing in the middle of the night, but that was all part of the Salamanca experience. Breakfast was simple Spanish style with very good orange juice and coffee etc., our only minor complaint being that the croissants were cold. Salamanca is a lovely city and Microtel Placentinos is a great place to explore it from, but parking near the hotel is difficult to find. One last point - it was the cheapest hotel we stayed in during a tour of northern Spain but definitely the best value.
