Hotel Boutique Rincón de Navarrete

Barely legible note on door with choice of 2 numbers to ring no reply to either. Tried again 5 minutes later and call was answered. She said wait 5 minutes. I waited 10 and the door was unlocked. I should add that this hotel is in a hamlet miles from anywhere. I was asked several times if I had a reservation and I showed her my print out of Expedia booking. She grabbed it did some sums and asked me for 67€. This I will question in due course. (Breakfast was 6€ and a disgrace. ). All the while the woman's mother was sitting down watching. Well into her 70s or early 80s. I was told that she didn't speak Spanish .... Her daughter then asked for the money and disappeared!!!! No restaurant, nowhere to get a bottle of water even ... I could expound this review and have photos of proof. Makes Fawlty Towers look like a welcoming ritz. The daughter went off never to be seen or heard of again!!! All in all one of the most strange experiences I have ever had!! Disgraceful and I will be writing a very scathing review.

The hotel is an a secluded location. Hiwever l, the staff was amazing. We'll come back

We arrived in the dark at 6pm and the place was in darkness. It is in a very remote area and up a very long country lane. Because it was dark we could not really judge where we were. Rang the front door bell, no reply. We were concerned because we were the only car in the car park. Another car pulled up and they had a different number from us to ring, they rang it and after 10 minutes a light went on and a lady appeared at the door. Once inside we could see what a beautiful building it was. Our room was large and airy. The Hotel restaurant was shut for the winter so we walked into Navarette which was in darkness and no one in sight. So we drove to the next place which also seemed to be closed. In the morning however we went out and could see how beautiful the building was and how nice it would have been in season with everything open and seating outside. My advice would be, go in the summer but avoid October to March.

Typical Spanish old house, very well converted into a hotel, relaxing, clean, friendly staff. No restaurant during off peek period, but there are many bars and restaurants in the main town, across the motorway, east access from the hotel. Well worth looking at the town. Will stay there again.

Very good.

Overall very poor no restaurant

We only had an overnight stay but would stay there again,staff pleasant and helpful and the hotel decor is unusual !! Breakfast was a bit disappointing

This lovely old hotel in a very charming village deserves more than it's 2 stars. We enjoyed our overnight stay so much that we booked it for the return trip. The only downside was the food in the evening but we can eat out at the nearby town. Highly recommended if you like old and quaint.

We eventually found the hotel in spite of the unhelpful map. It is a little gem with helpful staff who speak little English. We enjoyed a good value 3 course meal in the restaurant. When we settled down into bed we began to hear two sets of church bells, both chiming each hour (a couple of minutes apart!) and one chiming the half hours. Even with the window shut we heard every one. So, if you sleep very soundly or are hard of hearing, this is a great place to stay BUT if like us you sleep quite lightly and need your sleep DO NOT book here.

Excellent little hotel, although very remote in little village, with one small bar. Grand hotel on small scale, think country manor. Only problem was reception and breakfast, opens at 9.00 but no-one there until 9.30, a problem if you need to set off early as we did, couldn't check out. No tea/coffee facilities in room, honesty bar in lounge, no english channels on TV, very Spanish. Only stayed one night, would definitely stay there again. Restaurant next door was closed but opened up for us, no English or menus so you need to just ask for what you want, not gourmet but good simple food, salad, steak, fish etc and very reasonable (60 euros for 4) Only 5 minute drive to small town of Calamocha for good breakfast.
