Greetings. I have tentative reservations in mid September for 2-3 places in each city and want to cancel for courtesy of the hostals. I'm looking for advice from anyone who has stayed in the following places (and yes, I've already looked at Trip Advisor and Frommers):
Barcelona:
Hostal Campi or Pension Alamar
Granada:
Hostal Nuevas Naciones or Pension Britz or Pension Lisboa
Toledo: Hotel Santa Isabel or Hostal Centro
If you've experienced any of these, advice would be great!
Hi Karyn,
My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Santa Isabel in Toledo in March of this year. We thought it was a great hotel and our room was very satisfactory for our (simple) needs.
In the Rick Steves' Spain 2009 book he recommends taking a cab from the train station to this hotel, and his advice is spot on. The bus would have dropped us off on the opposite side of town and it would have been a schlep to drag our gear to the hotel.
The cab fare from the train station to the hotel was €6.00, and the return ride to the train station was about €8.00.
Hope this helps!
