Castilla - La Mancha Luxury Accommodation

I can't imagine staying at a property other than The Hotel Carlos V in Toledo. It is a full service property with history and renovated rooms. The staff is top notch -- one young front desk person went on a hunt through housekeeping with me to find a pillow more to my liking. The location is in the heart of everything. Footsteps from the bus the circulates between the Renfe train station and the core of the ancient city. The hotel is next to the Alcazar and very close to the main town square. The cathedral and all historic sites in the upper town are a 15 minute, maybe 20 minute at the most walk from Carlos V. The breakfast was never ending. All kinds of hot foods, gourmet pastries, fruits, coffee, beverages -- all for 14 euro. I went in May, an ideal time for central Spain, and the price was well below 100 euros for the room plus taxes. My room was small, but very well appointed, spotlessly clean and with a comfortable bed and warm shower. I heard zero street noises. I was not happy that my economy room was located right in front of the pair of elevators -- but Carlos V must draw a high caliber client, because I heard none of the loud talking often associated with tipsy tourists stepping out of an elevator. This is not a little in or apartment that you never get service from after getting the key. This is a truly full service hotel. Toledo has so much going for it, I very highly recommend making it an overnight 2-day visit, rather than a day trip from Madrid.

breakfast excellent. all very good. would have liked an earlier check in.

The Toledo Parador is excellent - the staff are charming and the views over Toledo are breathtaking . Our room was clean and the breakfasts were tasty. Despite giving the Parador 5 stars for everything, we had one quibble which was worth no stars! - the precise location of our room. We stayed in room 423 - which is approached via an open corridor balcony overlooking the reception area. Our own room balcony (facing Toledo) was above the hotel cafeteria. As a result, there was constant noise and chatter from the cafeteria all day, particularly from the cafeteria patio one floor below our balcony. And to make matters worse, late night revellers, returning to the hotel at 2am, would talk loudly at reception which immediately woke us up. We have no hesitation in recommending the wonderful Toledo Parador but, if you have a choice, do NOT stay in room 423!!

Breakfast was simple but enough variety and fresh. Convenient location to all the attraction points and restaurants either by driving or walking. Staffs were very polite and helpful.

The staff were wonderful! We loved the lobby and our room. We were able to use the internet just fine even if I wouldn’t call it fast. We didn’t eat the breakfast - we were somewhat disappointed in the dinner - didn’t match the level of all the reviews we read. We were extremely disappointed in the cheesecake and ended up leaving it after two bites. That part was too bad because everything else about our stay was top notch.

Hotel was undergoing renovations. Buffet breakfast ordinary.
