Hotel Almunia — Hotel in Caravaca de la Cruz

Stayed for three nights here in Caravaca and only regret is that the hotel didnt have a pool. None of the staff speak any English and its fun trying your Spanish out. Checking in was easy and although there isnt much space to park a car temporarily, i got out and managed to get instructions on where the car park was (back down the main road and down the ramp) being given a key fob to open the carpark and report back which number carpark spot i had taken from the list the hotel had given me (€5 per night). That sorted we got to our room which was the Habitacion del Caballista (no numbers just names) which had a lovely window overlooking the courtyard where you can enjoy a drink in the afternoon/evening. We hadn't booked breakfast but the courtyard was so cute we booked it for €5 each. Its not the cheapest around but with fresh squeezed orange juice, toast and hot croissants plus as much coffee as you can manage really made a great start to the day. Indeed the quality of the food matches the cleanliness standards of the hotel. Caravaca is a lovely town and we had a great day walking up to the spring pools of Fuentes del Marquess up the Camino del Huerto. We ate in lots of Restaurants and really enjoyed all of them with the best being La Compania for their tapas and El Horno for their mains (best to see my other reviews apart from we went back to La Campania and had an even better evening meal but id posted the review from lunch already and the wine was only €7.50 a bottle). If i returned here i would definitely stay here again as its quiet and peaceful and we enjoyed some great nights sleep here. The shower is fantastic as well, a real proper walk in one. The staff and it seems to be family run are a real pleasure to try and converse with.|On a strange note if you are thinking of coming here, our last night, a Tuesday in mid June and every restauant was shut apart from a couple of rubbish ones so we left deflated and mystified the...

Stayed for one night for the grand parade on Friday night in fiesta week. The hotel is very close to Plaza del Arco, where the parade ends, and where the running of the horses can be viewed on a big TV screen on 2 May. It's walking distance to all the main attractions in the town so we had our seats for the parade but were a quick stroll away from the hotel's loos. (Bear in mind the parade lasts 5 hours). The hotel was immaculate, the ladies all very friendly, from cleaners to receptionist. They were patient with my poor Spanish. Lovely continental breakfast. The building is very old but has been restored sympathetically. We were in a 2nd floor room, spacious with sloping ceiling & quaint old beams. Headspace limited over shower, people over 5'7" may want to request...

My wife and I booked this hotel as a break whilst at our holiday home in Spain. We had been to Caravaca once before and never got to see everything we wanted.|We booked the Almunia Hotel through booking.com at a great price of €70.|We were not disappointed, the hotels rooms are individually decorated and have names rather than room numbers. Our room was Habitación de Los Templarios which was beautifully decorated with 2 windows onto the street below. The room had a bath and had a toilet within. The receptionist was very friendly and advised on parking and where to eat (el horno is a must to eat) . We used the hotel as a base for visiting all the attractions which were only a short walk. I would 100% recommend this hotel and will...
