Hotel Palacio de Valderrábanos
Great hotel great location !!! Parking to be found just outside the walls, only a short walk away. Could have done with free water bottles in the room as it’s got a small fridge, like most hotel offer. Instead you had to take the empty bottle from your room, go downstairs and fill it up from a machine. ...

Hostal Le vintage
Limpio, solo sería de mucha ayuda que hubiera mejor comunicación con el anfitrión para hacer el check in después de las 21:00, ya que si por alguna razón llegas después de esa hora, no habrá nadie que te abra ni te responda, por suerte un vecina me ayudó a contactarlo.
