"This is a unique building in unique surroundings and cannot be compared with other hotels. From the massive gateway up the winding concrete road, through forest and over viaducts to a Benedictine monastery (with just eight monks left on the site)-not to mention the Basilica and funicular. It appears that the property is state owned and as landlord they appear unwilling to make the investments needed to maintain and update the property. THAT SAID - the experience was exceptional. Reception, restaurant and housekeeping personnel are all professional, friendly and speak English from excellent to limited. Our room overlooked the cross on the rock mound and across the pond. There were two comfortable single beds with spotless white bedclothes. The heating in the room failed. It dates from the 1960's. An electric heater was promptly provided and did the job. There is no TV or telephone - but so what! The bathroom has a shower, basin and lavatory. A Shower and hand, clean white quality towels are beautifully presented. The walls and window shutters need a little maintenance but this did not cause any problem. Stunning passages, and chapel. Restaurant is good both for dinner and breakfast. The opening hours do cause a tsunami of hungry folk but you don't have to join the scrum. There is a lift. I recommend this establishment to most travellers (Madrid Airport just an hour away). If you are looking for a modern hotel will all mod. cons. stay away."

"Rating: ★★☆☆☆ (2/5) I recently stayed two nights at Hotel Los Lanceros in El Escorial, and while there are a few positives, this establishment falls far short of the 4-star standard it claims. The Positives: • The location is truly excellent. Just a short walk to the Monastery of San Lorenzo, restaurants, shops, and cafes. It is well-situated for anyone exploring the town. • The hotel staff were respectful, helpful, and accommodating throughout my stay. The Negatives: • This is not a 4-star hotel by international standards. At best, it would qualify as a 2-star property. • The building appears to have been last renovated in the early 1990s and has not been properly updated since. Everything from the elevators to the hallway carpeting, furniture, and doors shows clear signs of wear and aging. • I encountered serious issues with the air conditioning. My first room left me waking up drenched in sweat at 3:00 a.m. due to AC failure. I was told it would be fixed, but by the second night, it still had not been resolved. At midnight, I had to be moved to a second room. While the AC in the new room worked better, it was still centrally managed with a fixed minimum of 27°C, which is far too warm, especially in summer. • Even in public areas like the restaurant, air conditioning was insufficient, making breakfast and indoor stays uncomfortable in the summer heat. • The carpets throughout the hallways are worn, faded, and stained, with visible patches where repairs or replacem"
