We spent a couple of nights here, it is a super 13 th castle turned into an hotel. Great service from staff and breakfast was delicious and we could eat from the varied offerings. Bar and dinner both superb. But a couple of caveats. The bedroom ( or bathroom during the night) is reached by very steep stairs which can be very tricky for some. The bedroom floors speaks like a squashed mouse at every footstep and can waken a sleeping partner. The shower was tepid at its hottest which was tough in winter and the merluza for dinner took one hour, without explanation to us as the only diners. But a wonderful experience as we exited by the main gate. Wow.

“Accommodation with a difference”

Lovely and quite setting. The castle has been kept in its ordinal state and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The rooms and facilities were clean and the staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was also ample and enjoyable. Great for the Traveller who wants something different. Loved it.

“Amazing castle experience ”

This hotel is what it says it is. It’s a 13th century castle refurbished into a hotel. Lovely courtyard to look around and about 5 minutes walk to the main square. Rooms are well decorated and the staff couldn’t have been nicer.

I was in Castillo de Pilas Bonas with my family (2+2). The hotel was charming, a real castle. And the price was reasonable. Our room was a 2 bedrooms in two floors, and a "living room" area. The room was very nice, clean, and mixed beautifully modern elements to the old castle. The 3 A/C units kept the room temperature comfortable, even on a 40C day. Sound proofing in the room was zero, but that was not a problem, because the other guests were not partying, and we were not partying either. The town was extremely quiet, almost dead. It was easy to find a good free parking spot outside the castle. The restaurant in the hotel is friendly, but the staff does not speak any English. The staff's poor language skills caused also some problems in the check-in, because everything in an old castle is not obvious for a new customer. My elementary Spanish was not enough, and when the staff member did not know a single word in any other language than Spanish, it was difficult to understand each other. I used Google Translate to work around the problem, but I would have expected that the staff member would have tried to help in "building the bridge over the language gap" too. The breakfast in the morning was a disappointment; one cup of coffee and one piece of bread with butter, marmelade and tomato. When I finished my coffee, I was not able to see anyone who could have refilled my cup. A little bit more effort on the breakfast, and the staff's language training, and this hotel would be a true gem!
