Cheap hotels in Santa Olalla

The swimming pool and TV were good. We enjoyed using the foosball table. The house was big and spacious. The location was quite and there was good local food delivery to the property.

As part of my two week meander around mid-west Spain I had decided to take in a cluster of villages east of the Rio Tajo. La Mata was, I think, the only one with an hotel. I thought it was rather expensive for the location but it fitted my two main criteria - parking and a restaurant. My room was pretty basic and not great quality to be honest – tiny rickety wardrobe with one bent metal hanger, very tiny shelf unit, no bedside lighting and no wall sockets. It did however have air conditioning and a small but modern shower room – and a wall socket!! The only thing wrong was that the toilet was constantly running so I had to turn off its water supply otherwise it would have driven me mad during the night. I got the feeling that the hotel accommodation is an adjunct to the bar & restaurant which, being located where it is, is probably right as I would guess that it doesn’t attract many residents. I was the only one booked in that night. The bar/restaurant was something altogether different. It wasn’t up-market or pretentious. It was just what I would expect from a small town place – locals at the bar and the whole place a hive of activity on a Friday night. The restaurant was fully booked so I ate (as did others) at a table in the bar which allowed me to enjoy the hustle and bustle of the place. The food was unbelievably good and the service excellent. I was ready to leave before the bar opened in the morning but was offered coffee and tostada to see me on my way. I left just after they’d opened the shutters and in my car which was parked outside at 9.45am. Depending on your requirement for the quality of a hotel room, I guess the hostal wouldn’t suit some people. From my perspective, I parked outside, met some lovely people, enjoyed the evening atmosphere and the friendly service, had a really excellent meal and breakfast before I left the next morning so I was a happy bunny.

This is a charming apartment so beautifully fitted out and clean. The hosts were very welcoming and accommodating. I would certainly recommend it. There is plenty of private parking.

Location and friendly and helpfull staff

The location was good for walking into town. The town had restaurants, shops etc and amazing old city walls. Loved the facilities especially the swimming pool. Trees lit up at night time.
