팔라시오 마르케스 데 라 고메라

A beautiful hotel A beautiful hotel. We thought that the breakfast was a little underwhelming and there is no restaurant out of season, however there are plenty of good places to eat in Osuna or the towns nearby. Our room was fabulous and would happily stay there again. Staff were very helpful and friendly despite having to sit in the central courtyard in the cold!

It was an absolute pleasure to stay in such an authentic historic place. The town is amazing, the hotel is perfectly located in the middle of the most beautiful street in Europe. We had reserved the tower room, however on arrival we changed our mind and decided on another room in the roof of the building. The room was had an amazing open beam ceiling with two round windows that looked over the roof tops to the countryside of olive trees. The room was simple yet comfortable, clean and at a good price. The staff was available, helpful and courteous. Only nice memories.

I initially wrote my review in error under the restaurant listing, which is very misleading because the restaurant appears to have closed down. At first sight this seems to be a very grand place to stay; it features on the tourist trail and groups come to look around. It is an historic building and the bedrooms seem very grand - we had the suite with the balcony over the front door. But the place seems to be run on a shoe string. With no restaurant or bar, no water or tissues in the bedroom, an empty fridge not a minibar, a kettle with nowhere to plug it in, this really isn’t a 4 star hotel. There is only one person on the reception who does everything, including serving coffee at breakfast. Please see the rest of my comments under the restaurant listing. A memorable experience, yes. Quite inexpensive (which should have been a clue), but luxury hotel this is not.

At home in a gorgeous build on atmospheric C. San Pedro, its Baroque façade is the first aspect to catch the attention. A lovely courtyard has tables and seating arranged around a fine lion fountain. Had intended having breakfast here, but told that dining only available for resident guests.

The outside of the building is really impressive. Unfortunately the inside doesn't match up. The Spanish style interior is pretty but is dark and dingy. The whole place is really quiet. I didn't see a single other guest while I was there. The bar and the restaurant we re not open. Unfortunately, as I left in the morning, the hotel smelt of sewage. Really unpleasant and it took my senses a while to recover after.

There was something special about this town. We were lucky and found a parking spot across the street; I am sure that added to our enjoyment. The hotel, built during the 1700s, felt very historic and was a bit rustic. It had a lovely chapel. We dined at a wonderful restaurant known for tapas and had breakfast at the hotel which was good. It wasn't a typical stay for us.
