El Almarchal Holidays from £367

A kettle for making tea/ coffee in the room would have made this a wonderful hotel

Nicely refurbished hotel in centre of the ancient centre

We stayed four days. Good location and the staff were nice and willing to help. We loved this hotel.

The property was very nice and clean. Very walkable to restaurants and stores. A/C worked well. The property has an elevator although we did not need to use it as we stayed on the first floor. The hotel has no parking. It does not free water. We had to call them twice past midnight because our code did not work. Very inconvenient when coming back late to your hotel. In the past day, I asked if we could have o e extra hour for check out and I was told “no, we don’t have late check out service.” It was taken aback because instead of adding a guest to the list of happy customers, they chose to not extend a courtesy late check out by one hour.

The hotel was really nice and in the best location. The swimming pool in the roof terrace is expectacular and it was very nice and quiet to relax. There were no umbrellas by the sunbeds so it could get too sunny at times. My only problem with the property and something to be aware of is that we booked a room for 2 adults and 1 child (9 years old) and we got a room with only 2 single beds. We had to upgrade to a family room with 2 double beds but this couldn't be done the first night (so we didn't sleep much). We had to pay 20 euros per night for the upgrade. Apparently this is something in the reservation but there was nothing refering to only 2 beds in the confirmation. Apparently they allow children up to 12 years old so just double check.
