Ainsa Castle

Old Hotel, zero staff support; no Restaurant no Bar. Rooms are very old..

It was a lovely hotel in a good location. It was also a large room with a large bathroom

Though I prefer the nh cuidad in Zaragoza, my brother preferred to stay here because he thinks the breakfast buffet here is better . I think it’s the same and the nh cuidad is better situated ( being in front of the Ebro river and just beside the majestic basilica of Our Lady of the Pilar ) . This nh collection hotel in Zaragoza is your classic “grand hotel “ … it has a valet for your car. A clean nice gym though the treadmill wasn’t working and the sauna wasn’t hot enough so I didn’t bother going into the sauna after my elliptical session . The breakfast buffet is what you would expect from the nh chain of hotels . Lots of Spanish ham , eggs made to order , Spanish breads and pastries but after 2 weeks around the north of Spain the food can get a bit redundant but if this is your first stop then it can be a real treat . We were upgraded to a better room so thanks to that lovely receptionist who spoke French and English . This particular nh is a bit farther from the Basilica del Pilar but it is close to the shopping areas ( El Corte ingles ) . This hotel is also close to the “El Tubo” sector which is famous for its night life and tapas bars . If you get tired of tapas there is a KFC 5 minutes from the hotel .
