Great place to stay for couple of nights
The first thing to say is 2 watch out for the signs up 2 the property there a little hit and miss we parked up in the first car park had 2 drag a heavy suitcase in the heat on cobbles very difficult there is a much higher car park with limited space but you can unload here then park the castle is really nice views outstanding golden eagles flying around i would say that a 2 night stay would be enough as not much to do apart from bird watching and walking the rooms are nice but bathroom we had needed updating if a little more was spent on this hotel it would be five star it only has 9 rooms and about 6 houses to rent we had breakfast and evening meal the breakfast is served in the hotel evening meal is in a local restaurant just yards from hotel meal service was slow only one member of staff trying to service 9 tables at once i did contact the hotel to inform them that my wife was a vegetarian they email back and said no problem they could cater but turned out they couldnt to be honest they didnt have a clue offered salad with ham on it ? REALLY they said sorry that they would get mushrooms for the next evening they didn't turn up and offered soup with egg bits floating around thats after been served chicken soup the meal was a disaster to be completely honest don't let that put you off staying here as the property really amazing front-of-house staff upon checking out I think it would be the norm to ask if everything ok did we enjoy our stay didn't even bother

Memorable Castle stay
We were very impressed! The castle is unique. Lots of places to explore. And the views!!! Not great for anyone with any kind of mobility issues. Dinner was very good. Staff were friendly.

Beautiful castle
It was really nice. Beautiful location and very kind people. Just keep in mind that you’re going to carry your luggage up the hill to the reception, which is not that easy. Also , the rooms are quite old, but overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful castle in a very tranquil tiny and romantic village at the top of a hill. Perfect for a romantic getaway. Great friendly service not just at the castle, but the restaurant located just outside the castle run by the hotel. Super friendly staff.

Fun castle to stay in!
It was so cool to stay in the castle. We strolled all over the town. We parked in the lower parking lot which is really just a flat gravel open area and then we walked all the way up. It was a fun adventure. The beds are big, it was clean and just what we needed. We only spent 1 night and it may be all that is needed unless you want to make it a hub. I had backpack but my friend had a wheely bag which was challenging on the cobblestones. It’s at the top of the hill but you can drive up almost to it to drop off luggage.

Great Hotel Experience
The castle hotel and small town inside the castle walls was perfect. I stayed here while visiting Gibraltar and wish I had more time at hotel to enjoy it and its surroundings. What a great place to stay.

early perfect romatic place
Romantic rooms inside a very old Moorish castle, nicely decorated, and beautiful views of the lake and the mountains. Staff is helpful, but not super-friendly. Very quiet, romantic location in an old white village on the top of a hill. Narrow winding road to access, and walking to the hotel is up a steep hill with uneven surface. Lovely little restaurant with specialities from the region (boar is excellent), but presented poorly (for example the avocado salad consisted of roughly cut pieces of lettuce and oranges and half an avocado).Given that in Corona times we were very few guests, there was no reason for not showing a little bit of effort overall– otherwise this place would easily gain 5 stars as a romantic getaway. Breakfast was good, though!

Potential but not good at the moment
Set in a gorgeous castle on top of a hill this hotel has incredible potential. It's simply stunning to walk into an ancient monument knowing you are going to stay there. The road approaching it is small and a little scary. About 15 minutes from the base of the hill and many hair pin bends. We arrived as a wedding was in full swing. Staff were very busy and distracted. Sadly even when they weren't busy we didn't find them friendly. There was a language barrier however a smile can be given in any language and they all seem to have lost theirs. Our room 104 was amazing with gorgeous views. Sadly it was next to the lift and another room where those guests came in very late from the wedding and were very noisy. We slept very badly. Thankfully the bed was very comfortable. The hot water wasn't working when we tried to shower in the morning so we left without washing which was not pleasant. Breakfast is self service, there was quite a bit of food for us however it was not that fresh and nothing hot. The decor had not been done sympathetically to the building. It's rather like a 1970's conference centre with horrid laminated wood. It's just sad to see this gorgeous building treated so badly.

un endroit extraordinaire!
l'hotel est dans un chateau mauresque du XIVeme siècle. La vue est absolument magnifique. C'est retiré du monde (mais avec une AB route d'accès). Il y a des vautours qui tournent autour du piton. On voit Gibraltar. On mange bien. service très sympa. un des hébergements les plus oufs de ma vie!

Nada es perfecto😔
Un establecimiento con mucho encanto, pocas cosas que hacer que no sea descansar… Tendrían que dar una solución a los clientes con el equipaje, no todo el mundo puede hacer ese recorrido sin ayuda (vi a una señora con muletas sufriendo para llegar a la recepción).

Overnatting
Hotellet låg helt fantastisk til med mulighet for gåturer. Fint gammelt hotell med god atmosfære. Middagen var helt topp, men det kunne vært grønnsaker til. Frokosten var også helt topp. Drar gjerne dit en annen gang.

Estancia inolvidable, habitaciones espaciosas y confortables. El desayuno variado y el personal muy amable y atento. Cenamos en el restaurante, la calidad espectacular y los precios normales. El pueblo musulmán que rodea el castillo es muy bonito y muy agradable de pasear.

Unieke ervaring met grandioos uitzicht.
Uniek hotel in een kasteel. Zou nog leuker zijn als de inrichting wat meer in overeenstemming was met het exterieur. Grandioos uitzicht en goed restaurant in het gehuchtje binnen de muren. De entourage is geweldig waardoor je wat kleine inrichtingsmissers - na kort douchen staat de badkamervloer blank - graag voor lief neemt.
