Guest Reviews
- camunden (10/5): Beautiful hotel and well located in Ribera del Duero - Everything was phenomenal and I only wish I had more time to stay here. The public space was beautiful and the way they were able to preserve the character while still feeling authentic was beautifully done. The rooms were comfy and well stocked and the restaurants were all great! The staff was very helpful (and very English friendly if needed) and we felt extremely welcome. The Thermal Spa was fantastic and I would go back just to enjoy relaxing there with all the different jets and pools.
- Maria (10/5): - Air conditioning is not working properly unfortunately. Room was very hot even though the reception person tried to fix it but it never happened
- Christopher Lee (10/5): - .
- Dianelys (10/5): - Just a perfect place!
- Maribel (10/5): - It was a beautiful place, tons of history. The staff was extremely courteous and professional.
- Michael (10/5): Gorgeous - Amazing hotel - gorgeous location and beautifully restored. The pool / spa area is amazing and the service is immaculate. Absolutely recommended
- Christopher (10/5): - Insanely beautiful with EXCELLENT staff and customer service. Pictures do not do it justice.
- Tania (6/5): - Hotel lindo , na parte arquitetônica , mas a comida do jantar , péssima , café da manhã normal , mas comida não condiz com o hotel
- Lynnpatricia (4/5): Highly disappointed - I really did not want to give this hotel a negative review but we encountered major issues which substantially impacted our stay. The building is impressive & beautiful, the rooms are comfortable and modern, the spa pool is great! The valets & reception staff were charming and efficient. The welcome in the Gastrobar by an older, waistcoated barman was surly and unhelpful. Things improved when the younger, friendlier waiters arrived. Firstly, the aircon in our room was inefficient. Had the weather been warmer I would have complained. Worst of all was that I discovered there was no mattress protector on the bed, just one thin sheet, and the mattress was VERY stained with what looked very much like urine! Apologies were made, protector provided and sheets changed. However, the dirty mattress and lack of a washable protector was unavoidable and inexcusable. I trust (and pay) 5 star hotels such as this to maintain high standards of cleanliness. Discounts & apologies are appreciated but do not make up for what should be taken for granted - basic cleanliness. Dinner in the a la carte restaurant was, in our opinion, not up to standard. The starter was inedible. The manager was unfriendly and unhelpful. Miguel saved our evening with his smile and service. The highlight of our stay was dinner in “Converso” where the service, food & wines were wonderful. Thank you Juan Jose and the great sommelier. If you can afford to spend a little more I would recommend staying 20 minutes away at the luxurious “Abadia Retuerta” where we have encountered no such issues in the past.
- Fernando (10/5): - Friendliness of the staff, the meals were all excellent from breakfast to dinner. Well deserved Michelin star
- kevin (10/5): A Wow place to stay - A stunning luxury hotel with wonderful amenities
- Antonio José (10/5): - Everything was very nice !
- Franck (10/5): - Magique
- Rafael (10/5): - Nice property, good termal area, good food and restaurant in the property. a little more drive from the wineries which sits on the other side of the river, but with a rental car all good.
- Dean (10/5): - Beautiful
- Frederik (10/5): Wonderful hotel - must visit - A truly wonderfull hotel with very helpful staff. We arrived a few hours early and was lucky enough, that the cleaning team could set our room up in just 10 minutes. That's what you call a nice welcome. Other than that the hotel is beautiful.
- Claudia (10/5): - Increíble todo
- Laura (10/5): Friendly & Helpful - Friendly & helpful colleagues throughout our stay! I also had a chance to engage with general manager and he was very friendly & informative.
- Carolina (10/5): - Planning my next visit already. Need a longer stay than two nights here. The food was amazing, quiet, equipped & comfortable bedroom, and lovely attentive staff. Loved my stay at Castilla Termal Monasterio.
- DIAZJB51 (10/5): Perfection - Beautiful monastery, an excellent hotel a great stay. Since arriving you are treated as a royalty family. Unique menu at the restaurant with produce from their garden; service at the restaurant was one of the best if not the best of our years of travel. A suggestion: coffee at a 5 stars hotel shall be made to order, not using a coffee machine. Thank you for everything.
- mauricio octavio (10/5): - Las termas increíbles el hotel es una belleza
- Alma lorena (10/5): - Es un hotel Excelente y la atención y las instalaciones son un espectáculo !! Y el Restaurante converso también Todo excelente
- MILAGROS (8/5): - Tiene unas instalaciones super bonitas, los cuartos del hotel bien pero estan basicos.
- rick (10/5): - Amazing !
- EVANDRO (10/5): - Muito interessante dentro de um mosteiro. Experiência incrível.
- MARIA DEL PILAR (10/5): Muy recomendable - Excelente lugar y estancia!
- Enrique (6/5): - Una experiencia que busca ser completa, pero en la que el hotel queda a deber: llegamos y obtuvimos un ascenso pagado, con el que nos dieron una habitación que no tenía ventanas que pudieran abrirse y en la que el aire acondicionado no funcionaba. El staff del hotel argumentaba que debíamos darle oportunidad a la habitación de enfriarse, pero la realidad es que un trabajador del hotel nos reconoció que no se estaba permitiendo que los aires acondicionados funcionaran en su totalidad. Solicitamos el "downgrade" a una segunda habitación en la que después de tres horas de "darle oportunidad de enfriar", tampoco funcionó. Fue hasta la tercera habitación en la que al menos logramos no tener calor. Lo frustrante es que el staff buscaba hacernos sentir como que el problema éramos nosotros. Muy altos precios para este nivel de atención en el que esperas que todo sea perfecto.
- SILVIO CABRAL (10/5): Sensacional - Hotel incrível !! Super novo , fica em um monastério. Melhor da região . Imperdível pra quem vai pra região de Valbuena .
- Cynthia (10/5): - Excelente hotel!!!
- Bostontravels (10/5): The thermal pools are so relaxing - I loved this place. First, it is gorgeous, just a lovely way to restore the monastery. The room was gorgeous and comfortable, the bar where we would grab a light dinner was high quality, but the best part was the thermal pools. After a day of touring the region it was so nice to come back and spend a nice long time alternating between the indoor and outdoor pools. Incredibly relaxing.
- Daniel (10/5): - Todo fue de excelencia, muy buen servicio y grandes instalaciones
- Jeanette (10/5): - Amazing place. Staff was great and so helpful. Very relaxing and beautiful. Highly recomend
- Federico (10/5): - Espectacular
- Carmen (10/5): - Historic, tranquil, beautifully renovated converted monastery with several on site restaurants serving delicious food. The breakfast spread is expansive and includes a warm menu an la carte and cold buffet, smoothies, coffee machines, and wines. The breakfast may be one of the many highlights. Our family also enjoyed the self guided tour of the monastery, cloisters and beautiful chapel for about €3 each. The valet and check in staff very friendly and receive guests with a glass of champagne. The monastery is located adjacent to the Duero River and there is a beautiful park between the river and property with a hiking trail. The town is quiet - almost looks abandoned so we just stayed on the property which was magnificent. Because there are steps throughout to access restaurants and even within floors it may be difficult for grandparents to maneuver.
- Ana (10/5): - Excepcional
- Mariana (10/5): - Hermoso y muy pintoresco.
- Jussara (10/5): - Ótima estadia
- Luis (10/5): - What a great experience, unfortunately we only stayed one day but it was amazing. We will definitely come back.
- Marta (10/5): Experiencia inmejorable, repetiremos - Hola, La experiencia en este hotel fue absolutamente maravillosa, unos días antes de llegar se puso en contacto conmigo Carlota, de Guest Experience, le expliqué que nuestra estancia era una sorpresa regalo para el 60 cumpleaños de mis padres y nos ayudó en todo momento a preparar todas las sorpresas. Fueron unos días inolvidables. Todo el personal es encantador, las habitaciones increíblemente amplias, reformadas y con unas vistas increíbles, las instalaciones impresionantes, el desayuno a la carta incluido en el buffet una maravilla. Repetiremos sin duda. Un equipo de 10. Muchísimas gracias de verdad por esos días para no olvidar con especial mención de parte de toda la familia hacia Carlota.

- Jeffrey (10/5): - Great
- Lauren (10/5): - The property was lovely, the restaurants were decent, the thermal pool was a nice treat and open to all. The concierge is excellent and can arrange tours in English of several Ribera del Duero wineries. The wines are wonderful!
- DougW362 (10/5): Perfect Wine Country Stay - Very beautiful stay in the old monastery. Extremely comfortable and very authentic. The restoration and transformation is remarkable and the spa is a delight – particularly the private water circuit adjacent to the large pool. Excellent service. Already planning a return.
- Luciana (8/5): Restaurante lamentável- não vá - O quarto foi muito bom, porém a parte de alimentação e atividade no hotel, não condiz com a qualidade vendida. O restaurante é um desastre, meu prato estava errado e cru, quando pedi para trocar à garçonete ficou com muito mal humor, depois pedi outro prato que estava cru, mas pelo mal humor da atendente , eu nem pedi para trocar. Se tratando do hotel de luxo, precisa de um bom restaurante. Foi lamentável
- Maritza (10/5): Enchanting hotel - Lovely hotel and Beautiful surroundings. Excellent amenities.
- David (8/5): Wonderful property, below verage service - A spectacular property in the midst of one of the great wine regions on the planet. The site and amenities, including the waters and spa, are wonderful. Unfortunately, the food and service, especially the food service, do not do justice to the site itself. If you have other lunch and dinner options, definitely use them (and there are many in the Ribera). The breakfasts are ok, not spectacular, and the food service in particular is subpar, not worthy of the magnificence of the property. Having to flag down waiters or be served ice cold eggs Benedict is not in keeping with these price points.
- Enrique (10/5): - Nice and clean
- Pierina (10/5): - El lugar es precioso superó mis expectativas
- Leo Da Silva (10/5): Phenomenal. - Amazing. Perfect castle. Modern interior elements. Most amazing spa Ive seen in all my travels.
- Pedro (10/5): - We had a wonderful experience staying at this property. Service was immaculate, from the reception, to the hotel porters everyone greeted us with a smile, they were all very attentive. The hotel is probably one of the best we ever stayed in. The room was very spacious, modern and clean. Comfy bed. The spa pool was very relaxing. I specially enjoyed the heated outside pool We also had something to eat at the gastro bar. Cocktails were top notch and food was tasty. I would go back. Highly recommended
- Peter (10/5): - Dejligt hotel. Fint spa område. God service
- Ana (10/5): - Will stay again
- Roberto (10/5): - Amazing time !!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - While we enjoyed our stay, we felt that the service, amenities, and overall facilities were closer to a 4-star experience rather than 5-star. This was primarily due to a few smaller details. For instance, we had to park our own car after the initial check in and handle our own bags when checking out, even when a staff member saw my wife struggling and didn’t offer assistance. Additionally, the cleaning staff left the welcome snack plate in our room until the last day of our stay, and we found them to be quite loud in the hallway starting at 9 am, possibly due to poor insulation. We also felt that the quality of the food, particularly breakfast, could be improved, and that the hotel itself could benefit from some modernization.
- COLE (10/5): - This was the most luxurious place I’ve ever stayed. The room was immense with everything including free wine and minibar. The staff was super helpful. The thermal pool is a must and was so relaxing. The food at restaurant and the included breakfast were over the top wonderful. And at check-in we were fretted with champagne. Perfect respite on a busy itinerary.
- Luca (10/5): - Great property , great service
- Daniel (10/5): - Great restaurant, soothing stay. Highly recommend.
- ana (10/5): - Beautiful property
- Mario (8/5): - I loved everything at this property accept one of the reception staff who was not welcoming at all upon our arrival, didn’t make eye contact and was the same throughout our stay and when she checked us out upon departure. The rest of the staff and venue superb.
- Tory (10/5): - Wonderful experience affordable luxury with an amazing thermal spa. Set in the middle of vineyards a beautiful location.
- AllanMCCosta (10/5): Best stay in Ribera del Duero - The hotel and the whole experience is absolutely amazing! Everything breathes nobility and five dtar service while you are at the hotel. The rooms are perfect! The spa is second to none! The visit to the church inside the hotel feels exclusive and the church itself is remarkably beutiful. The breakfast is vast and delicious. One of the best monents - if not THE best - of a week travel along Ribera del Duero and Rioja. Do not hesitate to book this uotel if you are in the region! Half the cost of its five star contender “Marques de Riscal” in Rioja, double the fun, quality, enchantment and service!
- Ana (10/5): - Excellent place to rest
- Ricardo (10/5): - Property is excellent in a spectacular place. The hotel is in a monastery of the 12th century. Service was good. Fantastic breakfast with plenty of options to choose. Dinner at the restaurant was OK.
- Andreina (10/5): - The property was extremely pretty, very clean and full of history.
- Anne (10/5): - Beautiful grounds. Great location. Fantastic blend of old age and contemporary architecture and art. I would stay there again and again.
- Ana Marie (10/5): Relaxing experience with the family - Loved the hotel. Thermal pools were amazing. Definitely recommend.
- Luca (10/5): - Luxuary property with great services
- Grisell (10/5): - Lugar tranquilo, cerca de los viñedos. La carta del restaurante pobre. William y los otros chicos maleteros son espectaculares, Jose del restaurante genial!! Y las chicas del checking
- Daniel (10/5): - .
- Luis (10/5): - The Hotel’s staff, amenities and rooms are amazing. Would definitely stay there again during future visits to Ribera del Duero.
- Bruce Edward (10/5): - The history of this property is amazing. Touring the monastery and using the thermal bath is a must. So glad we stayed here.
- Zaira (10/5): - Gorgeous!!! This property is a dream. Excellent service, amenities and food.
- Juan (10/5): - Excelente lugar para pasar una o unas noches cando visitas los viñedos de la Ribera del Duero
- adolfo (10/5): - Good
- Francisco (10/5): - Beautiful property only negative is the A/C does not cool as it should the room gets stuffy and is hard to breathe. It’s a shame otherwise outstanding
- Jorge (10/5): - Extraordinary place and service. Food is amazing.
- Sarah (10/5): - Our visit to this old Monastery was fabulous such a Jewel. Stunning old building. Spa was excellent & lovely outdoor space. Ate In restaurant & food was excellent. On downside the sound proofing not excellent as lying in bed we could hear too clearly other people’s conversations & kids crying : sound seemed to echo around a lot.
- MOrdonez17 (10/5): Amazing Stay at a Charming Historic Monastery - My husband and I were on a road trip around “La Rioja” and “Ribera del Duero” and we choose the Castilla Termal Monasterio de Valbuena, based on the proximity to some of the wineries we wanted to visit and based on the reviews. We are very glad we made this choice, it was an amazing stay, not only the hotel is in this charming monastery but the rooms are fully renovated to make you feel extremely comfortable, while enjoying the historic building. The room was very spacious, the bed super comfortable and they offer a pillows’ menu for you to select what makes your night sleep the best; taking a shower or using the bathtub was very pleasant as well. The “termal” offers all kind of relaxing water massages in a large pool for you to go through the different options to relax your body. And their restaurant was a highlight, we enjoyed an amazing dinner and daily breakfast was incredible, lots of options, delicious food and great service. Their house wine, which is made by a small winery, close to the hotel, from grapes grown in their own vineyard, was just spectacular, I wish I could buy it in the US :) Overall, a great experience that we highly recommend!
- swedenilson (10/5): Proper 5 star hotel - This is a proper 5 star hotel. Excellent service and amenities- the bottle of wine and cheese board waiting in the room is a great touch. Lovely spa and the breakfast is truly excellent. We had the tasting menu in the restaurant and I thought that was ok - not as amazing as I expected compared to the rest of the experience.
- MNHeredia (10/5): Center of Ribera del Duero wine region - A beautiful and peaceful place to stay as a home base in the Ribera Del Duero region of Spain. We stayed here 3 nights as we explored the wine region. Our room was spacious and well appointed. King size bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was also very large with a deep soaking tub and separate shower area. We had a wonderful breakfast each day which was included in our room rate. The breakfast included buffet items as well as made to order options. Everything was fresh and delicious. We had 2 evening meals. One in Converso and one in the Bodegas (cellar). Both were excellent with great service. Their wine, Converso, is a great option for a bottle or glass. We also enjoyed the thermal waters spa which was relaxing and medicinal. We also enjoyed a massage in the spa which was fabulous! Make an appointment for the thermal waters and the spa as soon as you arrive as space fills up fast. We loved the location of this property as it was located in the middle of the wine region and it made our visits to wineries during the day very convenient. The farthest winery was about 30 minutes away but most were within 15/20 minute drive. There was only one other restaurant in this village but after a quick visit there chose not to eat there. There is also a small shop across the street where you can get basic supplies and items if you are traveling by car and wanted some drinks or snacks. Special note: We happened to visit during Spain's "Labor Day" of May 1 which was a Monday. As such, we discovered that 'Labor Day' in Spain Is actually celebrated for an entire week which means nothing was open the entire time we were there except the wineries we had appointments with and hotels. Thankfully our hotel had everything we needed but keep this in mind if you travel anywhere in Spain the week of the Spanish Labor Day holiday which is always May 1.
- Adrianne (10/5): - Beautiful property, comfortable beds. Loved the thermal baths
- Francisco (10/5): - Great Family Trip Great Service Great Hotel Top Experience
- Luis (10/5): - Truly outstanding place and service
- Susan (10/5): - Property was gorgeous! I did not like that the rooms were very hot and no air conditioning.
- Vincent (8/5): Wonderful Building, Pleasant Enough Stay - Fabulous building, just a few elements that meant we wouldn’t rate it 5 star. Poor experience at check in despite the glass of complimentary wine because we had to wait 15 minutes to be seen, despite there being two desks and only one couple at one of them. Tea and coffee provided in room but no cups or spoons. Could never contact reception (dial 9) because it always eventually was answered by a recorded message. The hotel provided complimentary bikes which was great but they need to be maintained better. There was an app whose functionality was questionable I.e.couldn’t book to eat. All in all a relaxing stay, staff were very good and keen to help, particularly Miguel and Andrea. We never used the Spa facilities so can’t comment and nobody mentioned the normal swimming pool to us so unfortunately I must guess that was closed. Food was excellent in parts but very average in others.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Not really 5 stars experience. - The experience is not really 5 stars. We couldn’t smoke a cigar anywhere in the hotel supposedly because of government regulations when I saw staff smoking cigarettes in the back garden. Sauna was charged on top of the room and none of the Gold Exclusive benefits were provided (only the 20% for Spa after mentioning it).
- Dario (10/5): - One of the most wonderful places I have ever stayed.
- Maria (10/5): - Amazing peaceful place in the wyneyards.
- FRANCISCO (10/5): - Its an historic monument, very well preserved, it takes you back to the XII century The overall adaptation of the property is remarkable
- GUSTAVO (10/5): - Un hermoso hotel, staff muy amable y servicial. Muy recomendable
- Maria Del Carmen (10/5): A Gem in Spain - The hotel is amazing !! More than we expected ! Everything is just perfect
- Vanessa (10/5): Beautiful hotel - The hotel is beautiful. All the decor in the hotel is amazing. The room is great and very comfortable bed and super clean. The only inconvenient was that the spa and termal services were all booked we could not get to enjoy them and also the reaturant was fully booked for dinner.
- Peggy (8/5): - Es un 5 estrellas que no tiene room service. Después de las 4.00 pm solo tienes el mismo menu del restaurante. Excelente desayuno.
- jose de (10/5): - Loved everything about it. The rooms were large and super comfortable, the property is gorgeous, the service was the best, the thermal spa also amazing, and the food was the best also. Great breakfast and dinner too.
- frederico resende cabral da (8/5): - Nice prperty, well located, near all winery’s but sure service could be better, not 5 star service
- Miguel (10/5): Excelente convento restaurado. Lugar privilegiado - Excelente servicio, gran buffet de desayuno y suites cómodas pero tampoco nada espectaculares. El restaurante es un lugar para visitar obligatoriamente a pesar de las buenas opciones de restauración con las que cuentan algunas bodegas de la zona. Lo mejor la piscina termal y spa
- Leila S (10/5): - Great stay
- Mariela (10/5): Great Choice in Ribera del Duero - Great choice if you’re looking for a place to stay in Ribera del Duero, which doesn’t seem to have many options on the upscale side. Facilities are nicely kept and the property has a very peaceful and relaxing vibe in general. Breakfast was fantastic (the best we had during our entire two week trip). It included everything from a wide selection of local cheeses, artisanal yogurts, and a-la-carte options which were all included. Only recommendation would be to slightly increase the temperature of the thermal pool (not sure if I’m used to higher temperatures but the water just felt lukewarm).
- Noa (10/5): - One of the most lovely stays anywhere ever! We took the overnight into Madrid, rented a car and drove the 2 hours up and it was like entering heaven! The location! The rooms! The thermal spa!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful hotel, spacious room, excellent amenities, great food and outstanding service by everyone. Great stay, highly recommended
