Centro de Turismo Rural El Puente — Hotel in Mansilla de las Mulas

I advise people NOT to stay in Casa Rural El Puente in Mansilla de las Mulas in Spain. The place is a mess, which includes everything, from the owner's attitude, cleanliness of the place and manners. The owner, Mina, knocked on our door at 10 pm, when we were already in bed, to ask us to pay for the room, because "they don't start working until 9 am" and we wanted to leave earlier than that!

Just because it’s old with old furniture means it needs to be dirty and gross with rude hoteliers. I have been at numerous places on the Camino where the facilities are old. But it’s clean, safe, hygienic, and doesn’t...

This hostal is family owned and operated. The family knows us and we are always welcomed warmly, which we deeply appreciate. We have stayed here three times in the last five years. It is an older establishment but it is in good condition and we have always enjoyed our stay. Our room this year had a balcony overlooking the Camino path which was enjoyable to use. There is a restaurant and bar on the bottom floor for those who wish to dine in-house. The hostal is located near the bridge leaving Mansilla. As you cross the bridge look back for a nice view of the wall which once...
