Hotel Santos — Hotel in Guarda

After a long day on the road we were very happy to find such a quaint, well priced and well located hotel. Hotel Santos is literally built up against and among the old fortifications. The main sights (cathedral etc) are within 3-4 minute walk at the most. ||||As Guarda is a medieval town, the streets are quite narrow and mostly 1way but we didn't have any issues finding the hotel itself. Parking was a bit of a concern but we safely left our vehicle near the Police Station about 200 meters from the hotel entrance. Parking was paid but affordable. ||||The room itself was quite basic and as other reviews have stated it is focused on function rather than fashion. We were very pleased with our room as it was exactly what we were after. ||||Breakfast was a feast, there were several servers to help you pick out what you'd like. There was plenty of choice on offer from breads to croissants to toast, yoghurt, cereal etc. The setting for breakfast (on the top floor, accessible via elevator or stairs) was beautiful as well. ||||All in all this was a very good stay for us, no frills but we loved the location and small town feel. The staff was very friendly and check-in was easy despite a language barrier (which is on us, we don't speak...

Its an old stylish hotel, really well located, cleaning service provided everyday and the breakfast is acceptable. The price is really affordable. We could manage to park the car around the hotel without the necessity to pay but is a question of luck. The room had a portable air con unit which we have not used but if needed is not handy, should have a fixed installation. Even in the peak of summer we could rest without a problem. Our room also needed some refurbishment, toilet painting at least. Maybe some improvement in the breakfast options with fresh cooked eggs, homemade croissants etc etc. For me it would be...

El Hotel está situado en el corazón del centro histórico de Guarda. El edificio está literalmente pegado a un lienzo de la muralla pero esto sólo se aprecia realmente dentro del edificio. La construcción ha sido respetuosa con dicha muralla por lo que el edificio está totalmente integrado con dicho elemento. Sólo por ese detalle merece la pena alojarse en este hotel. No dispone de parking propio pero se puede aparcar en las inmediaciones sin ningún problema. La construcción necesita una reforma en general pues ya se van notando los años. Donde más se nota esto es en la fachada, la recepción, las habitaciones y en el mobiliario en general del hotel. Las habitaciones están bien dotadas, el baño algo justo. Necesitan una reforma general. Eso sí, muy limpias lo mismo que el resto del hotel. El personal del hotel es muy atento. Entiendo que es un negocio familiar. Te facilitan la información suficiente y te intentan explicar e informar si les preguntas. Tuvimos una incidencia con un radiador que no funcionaba. Lo comentamos pero no lo solucionaron. No pasamos frío por las noches porque las camas están bien dotadas pero por las tardes, antes de salir a cenar, la habitación estaba fresca. El desayuno es mixto. Tipo buffet si bien el personal te sirve el café, la leche, el pan (normal y tostado), el embutido (fiambre y queso) y el pan tostado. El resto (fruta, yogures, cereales, bollería, zumos) está disponible. En general, también mejorable. No tienen ninguna alternativa para una persona celíaca. El precio del hotel está ajustado a las prestaciones que ofrece. En términos generales, un hotel correcto, cómodo para estar en Guarda y no tener que usar el coche para conocer el casco histórico. Con una buena reforma general y un enfoque más moderno, sobre todo del tema desayuno, sería un hotel de...
