Castle of Arcos de la Frontera

The pool area was quite rundown, all the sunbeds need replacing as some of them were broken and also covered in bird pooh. The location of the property is ideal so it's a pity that the above facility let it down.

This was not the hotel we saw in pictures. We were very disappointed. The furniture was in poor shape, the linens and towels were older. We were unable to adjust the temperature in either of our rooms(up or down), Parking is available, for an undisclosed fee, but the local parking garage was less expensive and easier to access. The beautiful pool in the pictures is actually in the Spa pool for a fee. The biggest issue was the smell of the rooms. It was as if they had been smoked in. We requested to cancel our reservation for a refund so we could rebook elsewhere but the hotel refused to refund the prepayment. So we were forced to stay and endure the less than expected accommodations. Hotels.com was responsive, but left the entire decision up to the hotel and was not helpful. It is an okay place to stay for 1 night but not for an entire week.
