Hotel Posada Don Jaime

20 Jul 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

We had a wonderful four days with our family in this small, well-appointed hotel. Esther the owner and her children are absolutely charming and extremely informative and helpful about the area. We particularly enjoyed the big breakfasts with homemade jams and good coffee - there was no feeling of being rushed whatsoever. The rooms in this beautiful old house are... more

Three point restaurant at most. I had a menu and the food was rather good, not spectacular, though. Service could be definitely improved. more

Hotel Victoria Palace

Paris, France
27 May 2008

I always find it frustrating when hotels favour design over comfort, appearance over substance. The NH Victoria Palace is the typical example of all this. Rooms offer minimalistic design that looks OK if not cheap, but lack comfort with poor beddings, uncomfortable seatings and poor soundproof. The common areas are the best part of this hotel, with a wise combination... more

We stayed at Hotel Paella Principe in May 2008. We had been driving all day and expected to sleep in Madrid, but all hotel were fully booked. As our intention was to drive to El Escorial the next day, we decided to call an hotel there and see if there were any rooms available. They had, and there we went.... more

Hotel Miranda & Suizo

17 May 2008

There's a hint of a glorious 60s past in the decor and layout. Rooms were tired but comfortable. The big problem with the place is the smoke that emanated from the cigarettes in the ground floor bars and restaurants and crept into corridors and rooms, turning you into a smoked kipper. You just wish Spain had the cojones to implement... more

Hotel Posada Don Jaime

3 Feb 2008

After four days in Madrid we took a bus to Posada Don Jaime. We were travelling with two children (age 6 and 10). This two day excursion to the countryside was a perfect escape from Madrid. Our positive experience is definitely because of our stay at Posada Don Jaime. We stayed on the top floor which was newly renovated. The... more

Hotel Miranda & Suizo

30 Dec 2007

I just returned from a week at the Miranda & Suizo hotel. Our double room was in a corner, with floor to ceiling windows providing a lovely view of the city. The room was clean and comfortable. The reception staff were helfpul and spoke some English. The cafeteria adjacent to the hotel was a great place for a morning cafe... more

San Francisco, CA
19 Dec 2007

This small hotel (only 8 rooms) exceeded almost all expectations and I recommend it without reservation. Great location just two blocks above all the expensive hotels on the street Floridablanca. The prices were so low I worried that the photos of well maintained rooms were misleading. But the detail and cleanliness and thoughtfulness put into my room was impressive and... more

Recently stayed overnight at this hotel in order to fully explore El Escorial Palace and surrounding attractions (Valley of the Fallen in breathtaking). A small but relatively new hotel in a central location, under five minutes walk to the palace complex. Parking garage available which is more or less essential if you have a car as parking is difficult, especially... more

A stay at the Best Western Florida gives you a nice stay with ok sized rooms in a quiet town. Rooms size is ok, beds and tv are small, but ok. the rooms are clean and the staff is friendly and gives themselves time to help you, which is appreciated as a tourist. more

We stayed at the Hotel Botanico from 9-6-07 through 9-13-07 and loved the quiet ambience. The rooms were charming and very clean, and the views of the monastery just lovely as the sun rose every morning. The $112 price per night includes a breakfast buffet. The hotel is the former home of a family of pharmacists and must have been... more

6/8 found this review helpful

I stayed in this place in Winter 2003. It came as recommendation by a colleague and had good reviews in travel guides. When I arrived, I found it was the most imposing building in town, but as I walked in and roamed the corridors it came through as dark and gloomy because the corridors were badly lit and all the... more

You couldn't get a better location than this small friendly hotel only minutes from the Monastery of San Lorenzo. The twin room we stayed in was spotless and had a well-equipped mini-bar that didn't break the bank. The heating system was excellent. (A great relief as our visit was in February during the coldest weather and heaviest snowfall seen for... more
