“The Worst !!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2007
2
people found this review helpful

Hey -

I would like to warn you all against this hotel. We booked the room by contacting them directly both with emails and telephone. They agreed we come with a dog and they confirmed our reservation saying we cannot leave our dog alone in the room. When we arrived, they told us they thought that a dog is smaller - we have british bulldog, so it's not a huge one - and refused to accommodate us.
We were with a child and we just had to drive back home... very unfriendly staff and managers .......

“centrally located, good size rooms, very friendly staff”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 June 2007

people found this review helpful

Centrally located.
Big room with balcony (room 204). Not noisy at all.
Parking space for 10€ a day.
Very friendly staff, specially Yolanda at the reception.
Do not have breakfast it cost 6€pp, you can have it for 2€ per person in any coffee bar in Calle Larga.
To eat out go to Restaurant San Juan (italian food) in Plaza de Melgarejo, very chic restaurant- good value for money.
DO NOT MISS:
1) Horse show Yeguada Hierro del Bocao ( book front rows in lateral seats €13). This is 15-20 minutes outside Jerez right next to a cement factory in the motorway.
There is also the "Real escuela Andaluza de arte ecuestre" this is in Jerez, but the show sare only on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
2) Gonzalez Byass cellars (where vino TIO PEPE comes from and many other wines)
THESE TWO PLACES ARE A MUST TO VISIT !!!!

“Great location, depressing room”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 May 2007
1
person found this review helpful

The hotel is right in the heart of Jerez, just around the corner you find shops, terraces, restaurants, bars and plaza's. In some reviews it's mentioned as noisy. I can imagine because the hotel is IN the city, but didn't notice it myself (too much sherry...?)
The room was a bit depressing. Quite big, but old-fashioned and dark. There was also a smell from the bathroom and the water in the toilet kept running...
The breakfast was very simple in a very simple dining room, but well there was coffee, bread and a toaster.
All together I enjoyed to stay here (just 1 night) because of the location and the parking possibility.

“Incarcerated in Room”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 August 2006
4
people found this review helpful

On arrival, the hotel seemed pleasant, with a nice reception and friendly staff.

Then we were taken to Room 101!

There was only one little window (with bars on it!) opening into what I'd call a funnel, an internal chasm only 9 feet wide, into which the rainwater drained with subsequent bad smells.

I immediately complained about the room but they said that there was no other room but they would change it the following day. The next day it was a different person on reception who said that she knew nothing about it and, no, there wasn't another room.

On returning, I complained to the booking agent. They said they had spoken to the hotel and there was nothing wrong with the room.

I noticed that many of the rooms had this same problem.

What an awful design!!!

“What a charming hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 July 2006

person found this review helpful

My husband and I honeymooned in Spain and this is one of the best hotels we stayed at. The location is right in the heart of Jerez, the room was beautifully decorated, there were 2 balconies and a double bed (most of the beds we were able to get in Spain were twins) The hotel staff were very helpful and spoke English very well. There was underground parking at the hotel as well.
