Reviews of Hostal Concepción 1 stars

Very useful stay in the center of the village of La Mata, the staff is very friendly. The bar and restaurant downstairs is great for a drink or more.

Maybe a nicer light in the room and a bit less chemical products for the cleaning ;).

The hotel was comfortable enough but for elderly persons, carrying luggage up awkward flights of stairs was not fun at all and quite a nuisance. The car full of our possessions had to be left on the street. Having dinner in the bar was acceptable and the food was simple but well presented.

The difficulty in getting our luggage up and back down several flights of stairs as well as no secure parking.

This is a unique, one of a kind hotel with downstairs bar and a restaurant in a very small town close to Toledo. So, hotel...it's OK, basic stuff. Bed, small TV, Wifi, Nothing fancy, it's 1-star hotel, hence the value. But, the highlight of this location is the restaurant. It's the best thing in this small town, and locals come to it in the evening, especially on weekends. They have a higher culinary pedigree in serving really top of the line meals. Very fine dining, but not very expensive. Match that with a cool bar for decently priced drinks before dinner, which by the way starts at 2100, and top it off with high quality meals. You can tell it's good when by 2130 it gets full, all tables taken. I recommend this stay not for the hotel, but for the restaurant option. Then next day you can drive to Toledo, which in only about 30 min away.

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.

Good clean place with friendly professional staff. Good communication too. Quiet.
