Hotel II Castillas Ávila

Good services, comfortable room, excellent breakfast

The hotel is clean, efficient and functional (as advertised). Check-in/out process quick and easy. Breakfast in the morning pretty good (buffet) - definitely enough to full up on before moving on. Has a Carrefour next door (easy walk - maybe 100m away) with a small selection of restaurants, also cinema shops etc. Secure underground parking, although no idea if security an issue in the area, although would guess not. Underground parking an extra 5 euro charge if you use it.

The shower was quite a complicated affair, albeit with instructions on how to use it. I'm fairly average size and it felt very cramped - if one is overly large (weight or height) else has any mobility issues, the shower might be a challenge.

The room was very large and had a patio

No complaints

Location of the hotel is close to the motorway, without noise. The size of the rooms is excellent. Reception staff speak very good English and were very helpful.

The décor is not to my taste and is starting to date now. I have been coming to this hotel for over 10 years and it hasn't changed. Breakfast food quality has deteriorated, for example watering down orange juice. It appeared to have been blitzed possibly by a bus party and was being replenished. Shame because breakfast has always been a good selling point and the main waiter does an incredible job. The price has increased a lot from previous years.

Great hotel right off the motorway for our trip to Mardid
