Great value and great location in Salamanca. Traditional style hotel, very clean, very friendly staff, no problems whatsoever. The location is at the edge of the old town center so it’s quiet but an easy walk everywhere, and easily accessible from the train station by bus.

We truly enjoyed our 4-day stay. The front desk staff was extremely helpful. One person actually took my postcards for grandchildren with her and personally mailed them for me. They were always friendly and glad to hear our questions and provide excellent recommendations. The hotel was perfectly located for our activities at the University of Salamanca and a short walk to the Plaza Mayor. The view from our room was beautiful. The room was quiet. The cleaning staff did a terrific job. The city is well-light at night, so you can feel comfortable being out after the sun sets. Runners/walkers: ask the front desk how to get to the running/walking path that parallels a river. It's a short distance away and it's a safe place to run or walk.
