Villafranca de los Barros Holidays from £271

It’s fine for its class. In the road out of Merida. I chose it principally because it accepts dogs (travelling to ferry at Bilbao). Rooms are tired and poorly specc’d. Even a 2m cable could not allow me to charge something by the bed, a 3m cable would be required. Furnishings are mid 80s. Beds are likely subject to failure if a heavy person lay on them. Beer was cold and entrecôte was “un poco hecho” as required. Ample parking was available.

Beautiful hotel next to the square of a quaint city with deep Roman roots.

A modern, well maintained hotel in extensive grounds. Reception and restaurant/bar staff were unfriendly but breakfast female staff was great. Restaurant food was not great - less than expected with limited choice. Room was spacious and comfortable.

Not the first time to stay there but the standard always excellent. The staff always helpful , great location and a top hotel.
