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.

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.

An exquisite experience to lodge in a 13 th century castle, with outstanding rooms and staff. Breakfast was superb. Fresh squeezed orange, toast with various offering and delicious coffee. Our room was great with two separate sitting areas.

Shower could have been warmer water. There are steep and tricky stairs up to the sleeping area. This may not suit aged folks but was never mentioned

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.

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.

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

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.

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 !

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

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.

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

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.

Full of period features. The food in the restaurant is outstanding and the bar is friendly and is used by the locals. Easy to park on the road outside the hotel.

The castle IS the location, there really is nothing around worth seeing. You will struggle here if you know no Spanish. When we arrived a film crew was shooting in the courtyard and we were confined to our room for two hours! (They served us a free drink by way of an apology.)

The ambience was fantastic. Installed in an old castle, close to downtown. We had dinner outside on the square. Just great! Cery friendly, caring staff!

The breakfast choices or the lack of surprised us at first! Very Spanish breakfast! What we got, however, was excellent, so well done. Try it!

We were looking for an overnight stop on the way to Andalusia and found this place. What an absolute treat. Beautiful rustic old castle with real atmosphere. A restaurant which deserves a Michelin star. The meal cost more than the room but was worth every penny. I say room, it was a two storey suite, which cost around £80 for the night, would have cost £300 anywhere in the UK. A wonderful discovery.

Nothing
