    I didn't like the stairs in the room as we have mobility issues and didn't feel safe on them and they were not in the description on line. Also breakfast was not worth having and not easy to understand as there was no menu

    We loved the staff and especially the lady who served us wine and tapas Sunday afternoon as she took care and time to talk to us

    Easy location to find, situated on a small plaza. Plentiful free public parking 30 yards from main door. Very quiet area, so safe. Friendly and helpful staff. Cosy and rustic. Dinner was good.

    In spite of what one would expect from "castle walls" sound insulation was non existant. You could hear a pin drop (or worse) in the adjoining room. The wooden stairs leading to the upper sleeping area definitely need a hand rail.

    Comfortable room with unusual duplex two storey design. Imaginative use of existing castle elements to provide atmospheric environment.

    A little bit soul less and plain, but I understand as it was a castle it would be less than decorated

    It was quite difficult to find the entrance to the Hotel and the staff were not overly helpful. The bedroom was on a mezzanine floor and having to come down the staircase at night to use the bathroom was a little daunting.

    Okay for a one night stay on the way back north and the evening meal was nice

    Difficult to find even with the SatNav as streets are closed at certain times of the year. The hotel was a fort and interesting. The beds were not to my liking and don't even think about booking if you are disabled as the rooms are on 2 floors with the shower room and toilet on the ground floor. Going down the stairs are dangerous in my opinion. In saying that the staff were very helpful and the simple breakfast very good. The evening meal in the dining room was also very good.

    Maybe a bit of clarity on our menu choice for the evening meal from the download.

    What a treat - a fabulous stopover en route to France. Big comfy beds and an amazing restaurant for both dinner and breakfast. A basic choice for breakfast but each component was of the highest quality, delicious! Our room was huge - two lounge areas and a very comfortable bed. All in all a great stay - thank you !

    A double story room sounds great in theory, but a bit of trouble to visit bathroom at night :)

    Amazing atmosphere, it feels like a trip to Middle Ages. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good. The restaurant of the hotel is also great.

    Sound proofing between rooms was problematic. The restaurant food was a bit disappointing. The fact that you had to wait until 9pm when you had been on the road was not ideal, and when it did arrive it was essentially bar food which was overpriced for what it was. Breakfast too could have been more generous ie more coffee and choice of food. For such an amazing building we felt the food let the overall experience down.

    Amazing, iconic 12th century castle. great atmosphere and character, friendly, bar served incredibly local wine, relaxing and ‘something different’. bathroom facilities were very good. Free parking was a bonus.

    Air conditioning units did not function, and the rooms (especially the lofts) got uncomfortably warm during the night.

    Really fun hotel built into a historic castle, with a solid restaurant/cafe on-site. Rooms were large, interesting, and well furnished. The castle itself was fun to explore. Located in a quiet, safe part of Manzanares.

    Friendly welcome to the hotel and attentive Service at dinner (Manuél speaks English!). If you are looking for something different this is certainly a good option with the castle being the hotel one is staying in. Good price/value. Not recommended for guests with limited mobility as room has stairs. Great food at higher pricing than the average Spanish restaurant.

    Rustic castle hotel

    Heating didn't work which was unfortunate because the evenings started to get colder in November. It was also hard to find the main entrance, make sure to enter through the restaurant's door.

    We were looking for a nice quaint hotel to break our journey from Cordoba to Alicante and this one popped up on Booking. We didn't expect it to be this rustic but it surely was a nice experience! It it very basic in everything but we enjoyed the authentic feel to it. Yes the floors were creaky and you can hear your neighbors chatting but that's kind of part of the deal if you go for an old castle in this price range. We don't really eat breakfast so a tostada with marmalade was enough for us.
