We had a nice stay at Castillo de Santa Cecilia, the place views are nice, our room was comfortable, don’t expect luxury it’s an old building, but good to get some rest! The halls needed attention for the cleaning aspect. We enjoyed our stay!

Great, simple place to stay. Just be mindful that it's an old castle, so the amenities are older as well. Overall, it was a great and unique experience and I really enjoyed my stay.

This place is badly in need of repairs. Our room walls were peeling paint and it reeked of dampness. The bed, bedding, and all furniture was super old including the box TV (90s?).The humidity smell was bad and our room had no window to open. Bathroom entirely was in bad shape and barely had water come out of shower along with counter with sink was broken and dirty. The room we got should have never been rented out. Also the place is haunted. Had a horrible night. Got there late and stayed a few hours only but almost left 10 min in. Decided to stay only because of how late it was. They should just turn it into a museum. Place looks magical from the outside don’t fall for it. Just visit during the day.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I booked 2 nights, I left a night early. The castle was something I was looking forward to but it was a complete disappointment. The room layout was great, the outside property for photos was nice. The room itself was not clean, dusty and only one toilet worked. Saw some dead cockroaches. I traveled far so I was tired to leave at the moment. When it was bedtime both bed covers were covered in blood stains. At the point I couldn’t stay there. I left without even bothering with the front desk. I was so upset. Bathroom drain cover, tiles are all falling apart. The couches and chairs are all extremely dirty. If you want the photos of the castle visit during the day no need to stay. I learned my lesson you get what you paid for.

La habitación NO FUE LA QUE SE VE EN LAS IMÁGENES QUE RESERVE! El inmueble en general super descuidado y extremadamente viejo. Nos dieron una habitación hasta la esquina donde se ve afuera casi un basurero. Y lo peor de todo HAY CUCARACHAS !!! ASQUEROSO!

Definitivamente el alojamiento es por el estilo del edificio. Ya denota desgaste y se notan los parches por todos lados. La propiedad es enorme y obviamente no se logra un.mantenimiento óptimo. Es aceptable como experiencia pero deja mucho que desear el estado general
