Great location and very helpful staff. Superb!

Pros: Hotel El Castillo is literally opposite the castle and just a 2-minute walk from the old town center. It’s an ideal location to explore both the Templar Castle and the charming cobbled streets. The management was very accommodating and responsive, we emailed in advance requesting a family room, and it was ready for us upon arrival.

Nice hotel in a perfect location.

Pros: This hotel is an old style place that offers lovely big modern rooms just across the road from the lovely castle and entrance to the old town. Free parking was easy to find ( simply across the street) Our room had a tiny balcony that overlooked the street and had a view of the castle. I recommend it.

Cons: Breakfast was very very basic - coffee and a croissant. Both were nice enough but it could have been better.
