    Noisy during the day at weekend due to weekend day trip visitors.

    Very atmospheric- originally part of the ancient monastery. Comfortable and clean.

    We had a suite room that can sleep 4. We chose this as it's all on one level. The rain forest shower was excellent but there's no door into the stall so no privacy. Beware aware if sharing! Very simple breakfast. We've stayed before in the duplex rooms with beds upstairs, have a small bathroom downstairs with a door. Showers are in the bath.

    Very comfortable large double bed and sofa area. Excellent WiFi. No Aircon but have a fan which was fine. Room price includes breakfast and dinner, so good value. Convenient free parking.

    The layout of the room was quite unusual: the double bed was located by the ceiling above the bathroom, and you have to climb the stairs to get there. In addition, it seemed unusual and also quite dangerous that the bed is not fenced off in any way, and a sleepy person, possibly getting out of bed on the wrong side - could also fall from a height of several meters...

    Everything was fine! An interesting experience of staying in a place that once, as I understand, was a monastery.

    Noisy plumbing and a dripping gutter were minor irritations and, although the beds were in keeping with the tone of the posada, we struggled to sleep comfortably.

    Atmospheric, unusual and history-laden accommodation. Good location for seeing the centre of Aguilar and local attractions; also handy for the A67 motorway. The half-board option worked well although the evening meal was rather ordinary. However, the waiter, who was serving, preparing and clearing tables as well as staffing the cafeteria was a real credit.

    The room was a joke. At first we thought it was really good but it turned out to be impractical. The bathroom was ridiculously small. The room had tight, steep stairs up to the sleeping area.

    The location beside the old monestery / church was great.

    Having to climb stairs to get to the beds is totally unacceptable for elderly or infirm guests. There was no warning on the website. The room had a threadbare carpet. The shower had mould and the shower itself was faulty. Generally very poor.

    Helpful staff, but only book a duplex if you are part mountain goat.

    The stairs in the duplex require you to be very sure footed and I could not see any warnings on the booking site by the owners that they could be an issue for the elderly or infirm. I also found the beds a little uncomfortable. You tended to roll away from the middle, which for me is an unusual experience as I am very heavy.

    The staff were very helpful when I explained my wife was unable to manage the very precarious stairs to the mezanine floor. They provided an alternate room with an additional bed on the lower floor.

    Quirky rooms more suited to explorative persons. Beds in roof space with testing access a concern for children or the less firm types. We have a preference for the more modern

    I booked a duplex garden view room. What I got was a courtyard room with no outlook at all. The tiny window was frosted glass, so I could not see anything. The room was dark, and the bathroom was a wet room for disabled people. Once you'd used the shower, the entire floor was wet, and going toilet in the night meant you got wet feet.

    Superb location in a lovely typical Spanish town with Castle. But.......

    Awful customer service. The concierge made us feel like we were an unwelcome inconvenience to them and the hotel. When our family of four checked in the staff confirmed that the restaurant was open and serving food but they were reluctant to offer us a table or anything to eat. Instead we had to spend an hour driving round town only to discover that there was nowhere open or serving food so we returned to the hotel and went to bed without supper. Contrary to the description of the 'suite' it does not have "1 living room, 1 separate bedroom and 1 bathroom with a shower". It is simply a room with a curtain across the middle, a shower cubicle by the door and a lower-than-normal toilet in a cupboard in the corner. Breakfast was unremarkable buffet fare with the exception of the coffee which was dreadful. It's also worth noting that car parking is in an unlit dirt lot immediately outside the walls (but out of sight of) the hotel which is itself on the edge of town so, not very secure.

    Not much to like.

The staff as a whole were unhelpful and uninterested including the manageress and when we reported a bad smell coming from our shower we were told to just put a wet towel over the drain!
