Good check in. Ok room

Great staff but small room with a fairly dated bathroom. It was a nice location but the room wasn’t up to our standards nor the front of house hospitality

Unique Stay

This is a wonderfully unique property right in the heart of Salamanca. You can walk to everything and the staff was very helpful.
Martin, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This is not a five star property, but the historical buildings are nice. Many things are missing, in the room the room door is terribly bad with a big gap towards the floor, the corridor outside is by tiles and one will hear every guest/staff passing. Worst is the hotels baggage carrier and the housekeeping dito. No shoe-horn, no toilet brush, no napkins, no free water except fist day, too few hangers in wardrobe and bathroom. The bed is really narrow, but the worst part it’s only maximum 190 cm - so feet’s are outside of the bed (five star?). Best thing was the breakfast and the staff there. Front desk partly uninterested. Much improvement to par with a four star property and significant refurbishment to get the rooms fairly comfortable.

ANDREW, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wow probably the best hotel we have ever stayed in. So helpful and even made sure to charge our electric car overnight so we had plenty of charge for the onward journey. Super comfortable beds, lovely rooms. And the whole place smelt amazing! Wish we had booked more nights here, and will definitely come back to Salamanca

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel is really unique: it’s in an old, old monastery. The location is perfect for walks to the sights and to the plaza mayor. We opted for the buffet breakfast, which is a great value. The restaurant is in the basement, but has a gorgeous patio. The service and food were very high quality. Look no further - great property.

10/10 Exceptional

We enjoyed our stay at Palacio Hospes de San Esteban tremendously! Great service the minute you walk in. Staff anticipate your needs. The location and hotel’s facilities are ideal for a luxury visit to the charming city of Salamanca.
Regina, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great hotel well situated for exploring Salamanca. The staff were excellent and attentative. Rooms very comfortable although marred by ineffectual air-conditioning which made it difficult to sleep during the hot August nights.
Nic, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A beautiful building in a great spot in the old town where we had a lovely room overlooking the cathedral. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful friendly and professional. We had a wonderful experience all round thoroughly enjoying the tasting menu for dinner which we felt was good value and of excellent quality. Room spacious and comfortable breakfast excellent tasty choices. Catered for gluten free. Would highly recommend this hotel
trevor, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Definitely not a 5-star hotel

The exterior and the entrance are spectacular. The gentlemen at the reception were also nice and friendly. Unfortunately, the room itself was a disappointment, especially the beds: both very squeaky, the mattresses old and laid through. You literally cannot turn to not wake up the other person, and you are most likely guaranteed to have a back pain in the morning. The bathroom is also outdated, with water damage everywhere, and completely rusted heater… Something I would never expect from a 5-star hotel.
Iryna, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice hotel and very conveniently located

Stayed at the hotel for two nights on the way to the UK from southern Spain. Lovely old building and very well maintained. The reception staff were very nice and helpful and gave us a map on arrival pointing out all the attractions. The hotel is very central and 7 minutes walk to Plaza Mayor. The hotel does have outside (no cover) car parking. Spaces are limited but this is managed well by the hotel staff to ensure space is maximised. The only negative is the pool area. There was a serious lack of sun loungers and a lot of them were damaged and in need of replacing. For a five star hotel this was very disappointing. The pool also needed some maintenance work.
Elen, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely worth the stay… Hospes for the win!!!

I throughly enjoyed staying at this hotel. Even though it is a little on the expensive side I can say it is worth it. From the moment you walk in, until the moment you leave the staff is taking care of you. From helping you with your bags, to parking your car, and making sure you have everything you need. They were very patient with me as I tried to practice my Spanish and took pity on me when I struggled and switched to English. But the hotel keeps its Spanish charm with modern amenities. I didn’t eat in the restaurant because I wanted to experience the city of Salamanca, which I absolutely adore. It was easy for me to do that as I was in the city center close to all the action and once I parked my car I was able to walk to everything. I would recommend that anyone stay here and take in its charm. The room I stayed in was very nice and well kept and a beautiful view of the garden and monastery. The bed was not your typical small European bed but a queen, I had nice furniture, table, nightstands, desk and a spacious bathroom with toilet, bidet, and a shower with kicking hot water. The bathroom also has a heater to keep you warm if needed. If I had a complaint it would be that the room gets a little warm if I didn’t open the windows which was fine for the winter since there were no bugs, but the birds were very loud at night. Lastly, the city of Salamanca is worth the 2hr drive from Madrid. It is one of the cleanest cities I’ve ever visited, safe & teaming with life.
