Hosteria de la Plaza Menor

Location, location, near everything.

The hotel is in a beautiful historic building, at the end of the Parque de la Chinca. It is family operated and the owners are very friendly. Breakfast was delicious. They have two pools. They provided enclosed parking for our rental car.

Not a fault of the hotel, I suppose, but the location showing on Booking.com is not correct. Also, the directions obtained from Google Maps are wrong. They lead to a narrow street and end at a tall stone wall that you are supposed to walk up. We left the car there and found the main entrance by walking around the block. The hotel owner was kind enough to go and get our car, since navigating the labyrinth of narrow, steep one-way streets would have been a major challenge. The hotel entrance is not on Calle 9, but at the end of Calle 9a, past the church.

The serving staff was attentive.

The bed was like a rock. The bathroom can barely fit an adult inside, no hot water. at the pool, I was told there was permission to smoke. Halfway through a very expensive cigar a staff member told me Cigars are not allowed, but only cigarettes. He said, people dont like the smell. I looked around, and we were the only people at the pool. We wont be back.
