Reviews of La Posada del Conde 3 stars

Nothing. The hotel was closed despite accepting the reservation and asking me what time we would arrive.

The setting was beautiful

A few issues with plumbing during our stay and due to location nothing can be fixed immediately but staff apologetic.

Quiet, friendly place near the Caminito and to other hikes.

Restaurant felt cold and not as cosy as the rest of the place.

We had booked a room with a balcony (we didn't have one). According to the pictures and also half board. When we arrived, we were told the restaurant was not open, so we would have to walk up the road to find food.Also, there was a leak in the cold water system, so to resolve this, they turned the water off and you had to ask for it to be turned on if you wanted cold water in your room.( This also meant 70% of the rooms were unavailable) The blind on the window wouldn't open or close properly and hummed in the wind like castanets. There wasn't a bar open, and you had to ask for a hot drink , which involved waiting for the machine to warm up . I wouldn't recommend this place it feels like a cross between Faulty Towers and The Shinning. It's a great pity because it's a lovely building and with a little care and attention could be a great place to stay . The staff were friendly, but given the circumstances, they were in a difficult position to start from .

Really nice people. Decent good. Great location for the Caminito. But no hot water. Old hotel that is struggling.

No hot water

The location of the hotel is perfect. The staff was super helpful and although there was a significant problem with the water they did their best to turn our stay to an enjoyable one. The owner and Isabella were wonderful and we thank them very much.

I booked to be near the start of the Caminito del Rey. It was a few minutes walk from the hotel to El Kiosko, the shop/bar where the walk in to the Caminito begins (across the dam and around the corner). The staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the 2 nights I stayed there.

The restaurant was closed on my first night, but the hotel messaged to let me know that I needed to make other arrangements. They said what was available locally and the times of closing, which was very kind.

Arrived in torrential rain having walked 25km from Campillos. Girl on Reception offered to make me a sandwich and a coffee. Shown to my room, which was fine. Bar closed so went 100m up the road to the next Bar. Fantastic. On return, the lights in my room were not working. I was immediately given the suite room. Amazing. Stunning. Evening meal superb. Wine excellent. Service first class. Lovely breakfast, lots of choice. A fantastic experience. Thank you.

Great location to stay if you plan visit Caminito del Rey. Free parking is next to the hotel. The start point of caminito is just ~20 mins by foot - we reached it with my kids easily. Staff is also very helpful - I had a flat tire of my rented car and the guy at the reception helped me with English to Spanish translation. Also explained us what is the best way to reach caminito.

We made a reservation a month ago but only day before arriving we've got a message that the restaurant is closed. That is a little like a cheating because we explicitly looked for a place with are restaurant when we've made a reservation. Keep in mind that there are no fridge, cutlery, glasses and hair dryer in the rooms. It is expected because these things are not listed in facilities of this hotel. But I very rarely stay in hotels with no basic cutlery in rooms :) However, staff was kind to keep our food in restaurant fridge.

Great location to do the Camilo del Rey. They can produce tickets for the walk

The electricity went off in the morning so not great Room had a funny smell Cold and struggled with Aircon

Fantastic location, friendly & helpful staff, huge room with a mountain view & big bathroom with a bathtub.

The restaurant was closed, probably due to off season, but we could walk to the nearby restaurant El Kiosko.

Amazing location if you want to walk the Caminito. We chose the earliest hiking slot and it was so convenient to just walk to the start and leave the car by the hotel. The staff was also amazing and explained everything we needed to know about the Caminito. There is free parking available just down the road from the hotel. The room was basic, but clean and comfortable.

The room got pretty cold at night in February.

Most peaceful, a little old fashioned but that’s why SO pleasant and beautiful hotel near Caminito del Rey North access. Unfortunately the hotel restaurant was not open due to winter pause. (El Kiosko restaurant was open - quite a modest kitchen.) Breakfast was though served at the hotel. Bread was fresh and warm, great! Good beds. Clean room. Friendly staff.

The room lacked a hair dryer.

the location

whole place was cold no heating and only aircon in room that didn't work on heat very well and poor breakfast

Excellent location, staff very friendly and helpful. The only thing that let the property down was no hot water both mornings for shower or washing. They said they had a problem with the boiler but hot water later on in the day.
