Hotel Restaurante Limas — Hotel in Cazorla

We took 2 separate groups of 20 walkers here for a week each. I can see 2 very different reviews from people who were here and frankly I am amazed by the poor review. The hotel owners, Mario and Ambrosio and the waitress Puri could not have been more helpful or keen to ensure that we had everything that we needed. The food was excellent - local tasty dishes at our 3 course dinners and a great range of choice for breakfast - fruit, juice, coffee, toast, bacon, home cooked beans in a delicious sauce, sausages, eggs and pastries. Breakfast was served at 8 every morning as agreed so that we could be out walking at a good time so the hot food was cooked and placed on the table to accommodate this request. Anyone turning up late would find that the food had cooled...having said that , plates were generously refilled as required with freshly cooked replacements. The rooms were basic but clean and the beds comfortable. Any problems brought to Mario's attention were addressed although this sometimes took a little while, as is often the case in Spain. I have to point out that this is a 2 star hotel and therefore we didn't expect 5 star standards for furnishing etc. so most people were very happy with their stay. The hotel might have been 2 star but the service was definitely 5 star, and the dinners were more than adequate for a group of hungry walkers. - and judging by the way the wine bottles were emptied each night most people didn't have a problem with the wine either.||The first week the weather was not very good and half of the people decided to leave a day early, after the food for dinner had been ordered for everyone and the rooms already cleaned so why anyone would expect not to pay for that day is beyond me. One hotel owner on our group said that she would have charged in full and not for half as our Spanish hosts did.||This is a great base for exploring a fantastic walking area and Ambrosia can give you lots of helpful...

Hotel Limas is a budget hotel located in superb walking country and about 15 minutes walk (uphill going) to town centre.||The staff were polite and friendly and a family run establishment.||The hotel needed money invested to bring it up to an acceptable standard even for a budget hotel. Our room and those we visited were similar in standard and were all dark, lighting needed improving. Rooms were basic and mattresses had cheap plastic covers, the sort used on a small child's bed. The bathroom had a tiny bath (3 foot), so only room to sit in with legs crossed. There was no bath or sink plugs, so we all had to buy plugs from the local Chinese supermarket.||We are used to staying in basic Spanish hotels but the food provided was below the standard we are used to. We think this might the quality of the cook rather than the raw materials.||Our experience was somewhat influenced by unseasonal weather, therefore needing rooms heated (ours was ok) although we did change our original room. There were many maintenance needs, particularly electric sockets hanging from the wall, bulbs needing changing, curtain rails coming down etc.||What we liked best was the location of the hotel, although we stayed out of season and in season car parking on the street could be an issue.||What we liked least was the quality...

This hotel , Will disappoimt you more than your wildest dreams . We complained and ended reluctantly moving in to third attempt room . Light (1) only too dim to read, booked double got twin , shower had 4 faults ( water everywhere , taps in bathroom all broken , plug turns off if you plug in charger , no bath plug ,( bath was a butler sink , water cold on every attempt to use , flooded room from leaks , food was like the plates ICE COLD , The wine was like red diesel the coffee like drain cleaner and variety was non existent , even the draught beer pump was broken so bottle beer , the stairs were falling to pieces, along with the building , the toast at breakfast was really the only edible item , cups had no saucers , table water was from tap in a jug but no glass to drink it from , we wanted to check out early as all became unacceptable but demanded on charging for the meals as said he had bought the frozen fish , sure the 2 stars are self awarded , a real shame , as Cazorla is amazing place don't miss it . We were the only people that ate in the place all week so seems the words...
