Hotel Palacio Garvey

Nice property

Central position in a quiet small square. Large room and huge bathroom. Good breakfast.

Room No 4 had an unfortunate smell upon arrival but once air freshener worked it seemed to disappear. Artwork in the hotel was very garish and an over abundance of dried flowers gave the entrance hall a very cluttered appearance. It could do with minimalising!

El hotel es precioso, el personal encantador, la suite muy confortable y bien decorada, el desayuno no es espectacular pero está bien y por último, la ubicación es perfecta. Si tengo que destacar algo, destaco la comodidad de la cama. Desde luego, si vuelvo a Jerez, optaría sin duda por este hotel.

Wonderful old tradition palcio

I liked its position in Jerez. Access to the centre was easy and it had its own parking. Food was excellent in the hotel but you dined alone!

The lighting in bedroom 17 was inadequate. You could not see into the wardrobe after dark.

This was billed as a four-star hotel, though it’s far from clear why. When we walked in to the reception area, we were greeted by a sculpture of a dog lifting its leg against a wall — I’m still not sure whether the management thought this was edgy whimsy or serious art. Other animals — a bull, an elephant — loom large in the garish decor, and nothing visually seems to relate to anything else, the total effect being a gallimaufry of unrelated images — an interior decorator’s nightmare. The room — supposedly a junior suite — had the whiff of questionable drains, and could have done with a fresh coat of paint. The floors were plasticated fake wood grain, the bed pillows hard, but everything, except coffee-making supplies, was provided: dressing gowns, teeth-cleaning kits, disposable razors. There is no English language television. The lift goes up only to the first floor, so ascent above that requires climbing a substantial number of stairs. The continental breakfast was adequate, and the person presiding over it very pleasant. In short, the total effect, despite the hotel’s title, was far from palatial, and far from what is customarily expected in a four-star hotel.

location

This hotel was more elegant than the photos suggest and is in a good location for sightseeing. The receptionist was very helpful identifying any tours in English that might be available for our stay (we hadn't pre-booked a sherry tour). Car parking was provided to the rear of the property

Our bathroom could have done with some upgrading although the bedroom was more spacious than we expected.
