Great place, super clean and comfortable. The hotel and rooms have the same style as the town, new and fresh. The bathroom and towels are super clean and the shower have a nice water pressure. The only down side is the check in time, u have to be there before 6 pm, if not u will be left on the street. 2 couples arrived after 6 and couldn't check in, it was very up setting for them. Also there is nothing open there at night or in the morning, beside the very simple coffee and little muffins include with the room.
The place deserve a 5 start but the management deserve a 1 start, in a place where time has stop can't rush u to arrive in a rush, they need to up grade their system to offer a better service

Terrible service and bland food. Nothing, nothing special. The lady was rude to answer with wild gesticulations when a non-meat-eater try to order different from, by the way, extremely boring "cocido maragato". As a vegetarian (we called in advance to inform them of my choice), i felt humiliated when they gave me a socalled salad, lettuce and some olives. That was it! I will never ever return. What a way of ruining a day for a group of friends. Needless to say what this means for this little village's reputation!!
