7/10

The place is stunning, lots of history. Had a wicked nice chat with Roberto at the front desk about the building's past. But, man, it was freezing in the bathroom—no heat in there at all. Kinda took the shine off everything else.

The hotel is conveniently located to explore historic Ávila.

The staff was indifferent and unhelpful, lacking support when I needed assistance. Additionally, the overall cleanliness left much to be desired, with dirty towels left in public areas and a distinct lack of attention to detail.

Absolutely loved this place! ! So charming and historic, such a captivating architectural gem.

The location of Palacio Valderrabanos is unbeatable, right next to the cathedral, making it super convenient for sightseeing. The charming atmosphere of this former palace adds character to your stay, and the spacious room I stayed in offered a delightful view of the plaza and cathedral's architectural grandeur. Breakfast was yummy, offering a buffet that would please most palates.

Bathroom noise.

the room was spacious with a great view of the cathedral mountain. parking can be tricky.

Staying at Palacio Valderrabanos was quite memorable. The location right next to the cathedral made it super easy to explore the historic sites. I loved the unique ambiance of the building itself, a converted palace, boasting fascinating decor and charm. My room, a Superior Double, was spacious and clean with a lovely view of the cathedral. Those large windows flooded the room with natural light, enhancing the overall experience. The beds were incredibly comfortable, making it easy to rest after a long day of sightseeing. However, the noise from the plumbing was really annoying. It felt like I had a loudspeaker in my room whenever someone in another room turned on a faucet. That noise definitely impacted my ability to relax. Also, I was a bit disappointed with the bathroom amenities. The hotel only provided a single all-in-one shower gel, whereas I expected more variety like shampoo and conditioner. Housekeeping left only one toothbrush for two people, which seemed off for a hotel in this range. The breakfast had a decent selection, but the scrambled eggs didn’t impress. The second morning, I asked for fried eggs, and they were much better. Talk about hitting the mark the second time around. The on-site restaurant didn’t have much atmosphere, but it was quiet and just right for a quick meal. Overall, it was a great stay with a few bumps along the way, but I would consider coming back if improvements were made.

The location was remarkable, right by the cathedral, making exploring Avila a delight. The room was clean and spacious. however, the appliances need some upgrades. The breakfast had a nice variety, but it's worth checking local options for a better deal.

The stay was lovely,, with an incredibly friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast was high quality with lots of variety, and we loved the stunning view of the cathedral right from our room!

I had a wonderful stay at Palacio Valderrabanos. The location beside the cathedral is perfect for exploring Avila, and the buffet breakfast at just 11 Euros was a delightful treat with plenty of options to choose from.

Parking can be tricky.

Suitable for history lovers

The hotel is quite a gem with its historical charm right next to the cathedral. I really appreciated the spaciousness of my room and the unique atmosphere it provided as I explored the medieval town.

It wasn’t cheap but still acceptable for the experience it offered.
