When we arrived the room was extremely hot and it took forever for the arico bring it to a bearable temperature. Our bedroom was big everything was very clean. The beds were good, hotel is very well located. It’s just ok for a short stay, nothing special.

As a seasoned traveller,I booked this hotel after researching reviews.The room allocated stank of smoke along with a strong smell of drains and the carpet was filthy.We asked to change rooms and the second was slightly better but checked out after one night.

booked this hotel for the 2010 horse fair,but due to volcanic ash cloud we couldnt travel.paid 1240 euro for triple room with breakfast for 4 nights.when hotel was contacted about travel problems and we asked about possibility of a refund,partial refund,or voucher to re book next year the answer was no. we are now at the loss of 1240 euro as the reservation was charged 14 days before arrival.think twice before booking hotels with this type of pre payment policy.anna from ireland. 6/5/2010

This hotel is small but very well located, around 300 metres from the main tourist square in the town and about 1Km from the Cathedral and Alcazar. There are lots of cafes and restaurants in the surrounding area, including a supermarket where you can stock up with food and booze if you are on a budget. Needless to say, Spanish wine is cheap and excellent.

If you are coming in a car, the hotel doesn't have a car park (although you can stop outside - taxis permitting - to unload). The receptionist recommended I use a local car park but I chose to park in the street, which is closer and cheaper. The downside is that you have to return to your car to top-up your ticket but I was only staying one day and this wasn't a problem (in Spain you only pay to park at certain times of the day, the other time being free).

My room was very small but spotlessly clean with a good bathroom. This isn't a hotel that you will want to spend much time in (it's small and there are few facilities) so that was not a problem since I only used my room to sleep and clean.

The hotel has free access to the Internet using a desktop PC in the lobby, which is fine for checking e-mail. If you bring your own laptop, it has wi-fi but this is neither free (10E per day or 6E per hour) nor very reliable (I couldn't access it from my room).

The room also has a small TV, not that you will want to watch Spanish television, which consists of young, attractive Spanish people arguing about their love lives (I presume, since I don't speak Spanish but I know [--] when I hear it) .

Jerez is a lovely town and the location of this hotel helps you make the most of it. Recommended.
