Penalara Natural Park hotels from HK$471

"Beautifully decorated hotel in convenient location, nice staff, parking and great value."

"Excellent location in the Old Town. Comfortable room/bed. Roof terrace nice for watching sunset "

"Well situated and really lovely stay. Far enough away from the Plaza/ shops to not be in the noisy areas on late nights, etc. But everything is close inside the old city! Beautifully restored old building with great updates and amenities!"

"Tough parking but managed. Needed help and information from staff on s few occasions and they were very helpful and friendly. "

"Quaint and authentic The Bar should be open more hours and not closed on Sunday"

"In city center, views of acqueduct in some rooms, great breakfast with wide variety of options. Quiet and clean."

"As a former monastery, this is a really cool place to stay. It is very close to the beginning of the aqueduct as well which takes you down to the central core. Easily walkable to all the interesting sites. The history and ambiance is something to experience. The menu in the restaurant was awesome with good service. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. Happily stay again."

"This is a unique building in unique surroundings and cannot be compared with other hotels. From the massive gateway up the winding concrete road, through forest and over viaducts to a Benedictine monastery (with just eight monks left on the site)-not to mention the Basilica and funicular. It appears that the property is state owned and as landlord they appear unwilling to make the investments needed to maintain and update the property. THAT SAID - the experience was exceptional. Reception, restaurant and housekeeping personnel are all professional, friendly and speak English from excellent to limited. Our room overlooked the cross on the rock mound and across the pond. There were two comfortable single beds with spotless white bedclothes. The heating in the room failed. It dates from the 1960's. An electric heater was promptly provided and did the job. There is no TV or telephone - but so what! The bathroom has a shower, basin and lavatory. A Shower and hand, clean white quality towels are beautifully presented. The walls and window shutters need a little maintenance but this did not cause any problem. Stunning passages, and chapel. Restaurant is good both for dinner and breakfast. The opening hours do cause a tsunami of hungry folk but you don't have to join the scrum. There is a lift. I recommend this establishment to most travellers (Madrid Airport just an hour away). If you are looking for a modern hotel will all mod. cons. stay away."

"The hotel is so elegant and feels removed from the hustle and bustle yet it is only a five minute walk to Plaza Mayor and the Cathedral. Dinner at Restaurant Jose Maria was also delicious. We enjoyed a simple spa visit with dry and wet, sauna and Jacuzzi. A wonderful hour of propose for Travel weary guests."
