Hotel berhampiran Murallas, Toledo

A visit to Toledo should definitely be on your list of places to visit in Spain. The City of Three Cultures sits on a hill, surrounded on three sides by the River Tagus, attesting to the old adage that location is everything. The Roman historian, Livy (a.59 BCE-17CE) mentioned it as being a small city but fortified by location. The three cultures being of course, Christianity, Judaism and Islam. The evidence of these cultures are found all over the old city. Indeed, it is the influence of these cultures and the structures that they left behind, that were instrumental in Toledo being inducted into the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1986. Today, it is a lively city, its streets and squares filled with residents mingling with tourists. We booked Hotel Medina de Toledo without really knowing how close it lay to the Historic Center of Toledo. We were pleased to see that it actually lies within the walls in the outer perimeter. You are just ca. 100 meters from the Aparcamiento Miradero (Parking), from which there is an escalator that leads you right up to the actual town. The hotel website states that you are a four minute walk from the Puerta del Sol City Gate and Plaza de Zocodover. A five minute walk from Puerta Bisagra Gate, seven minutes from the Alcazar and ten minutes from Toledo Cathedral. Tops on location. This small hotel has 18 rooms arranged on three floors. Because the hotel is located on an incline, the lobby is located on the top floor, but is on street level. The hotel staff are very friendly, in fact we greeted by the owner of the facility and were treated very well. The hotel advertises that multi languages are spoken, Spanish, Portuguese, English, French and Italian. As the hotel basically sits into the hill, the rooms face out to the back and have a great view of the lower city, in what I think is a north direction. The rooms are clean and comfortable, air-conditioned, there is also free wifi. Non-smoking rooms are available. Breakfast, available for a nominal fees, is delicious and can be eaten out on a lovely, scenic terrace. There is also free parking available on the street and if you are lucky, right out in front of the lobby. We can easily recommend staying at the Hotel Medina de Toledo and if we are back in the area, will do so again. PS. We would like to pass along the recommendation of El Trebol Tapas Bar as a good place to eat. Also, don't forget to buy some Marzipan, as Toledo is well known for this treat.

Дуже зручне розташування,привітний персонал. В номері є все необхідне.Дуже затишно.

Llegamos al lugar a media tarde y no había nadie en recepción, ni al llegar ni al salir por la mañana, el sitio en sí es bonito, muy bien decorado, con bonitas paredes de piedra y ladrillo y habitaciones amplias con techos muy altos. La habitación estaba limpia pero tan sólo teníamos una sábana y una colcha muy fina como de verano, había una manta en una balda pero también era fina, la habitación estaba muy muy fría y cuando encendimos la calefacción no calentaba, llamamos al teléfono que habia en la puerta del hotel y a la 3 llamada nos cogieron diciéndonos que podíamos coger otra manta ya que la calefacción supuestamente calentaba perfectamente. Estuvo puesta toda la noche, metiendo un ruido infernal que sumado al del agua que caia por las tuberías del piso de arriba impedía el sueño, en ningún momento la habitación cogió una temperatura para estar cómodos, pasamos frío y encima la ventana (encima del cabecero) no tenía persiana ni estor que quitase correctamente la luz y el frío se colaba por debajo de la cortina directamente a nuestras cabezas. Por no hablar del baño, ahí ni entraba el aire “caliente” de la calefacción y al tener ventana estaba helado, el agua caliente tardó un montón en salir y en la ducha se te pegaba todo el rato al cuerpo la cortina ya que la habían puesto muy cerca de la pared y apenas tenias espacio. La habitación no estaba bien aislada porque se oia a la perfección la gente que pasaba por la calle y la puerta de entrada al hotel. Por todo ello la experiencia ha sido mala, no volvería a repetir ni recomendaría este establecimiento a nadie, juegan únicamente con que la decoración es bonita pero confort muy decepcionante. El barrio en el que se encuentra también es un poco desangelado, poca iluminación y con no demasiada buena pinta.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Pintor El Greco hotel in Toledo! Great location within easy walking distance of all the historical places and stunning sights around the city. We stayed in the heritage section of the property with original beamed ceilings and features. Nice modern upgrades to the spacious room - comfortable bed. We only stayed one night and did not get the chance to enjoy the restaurants onsite - but did go up to the rooftop balcony for the night sky and city views - spectacular! We met the Hotel Manager Cristina Hernandez Gines at check out and enjoyed a lovely conversation about our family in Salamanca and Alicante. We would definitely return again to explore more of Toledo and would stay here for sure! Heather and Emile Fuchs

The on site parking ($10) secured was a huge bonus (don't try to take a large car down there). The hotel is close to the old town (which is up a big hill) but there are two different sets of escalators going up. Very odd to see like 10 different moving stairs to get you up a hill.. these were well used by the locals certainly. Room was nice, clean and modern, close to the town but not ”in it” meaning no tight streets to squeeze down. I found this refreshing - after a week of driving ”too small” roads to hit the circle off the highway turn right and park ... ride the escalator and you re where you want to be. All in all a pleasant experience and I would def stay here again if in Toledo.

Very good service, breakfast

Pues le robaron el bolso a mi mujer en un salón privado en la 2° planta y con un camarero controlando el acceso al bufet, el ladrón o ladrones paso por recepción fue al salón del bufet estuvo hablando con el camarero q controlaba el acceso (porque yo lo vi y el me lo confirmo) y sin embargo no se porque razón le dejaron permanecer el el salón (a mi me preguntaron por la habitación para pasar) y en un despiste nos robaron el bolso. Creo q habría q ser muchísimo más cuidadoso con el acceso, ya veremos como termina esto Entre los 3000€ q sacaron de la tarjeta y los más de 1000€ de perdidas por efectivo, movil, gafas, llaves coches, etc, la estancia me salió por un pico. OJO NO DEJEIS NADA DESATENDIDO En principio el hotel rechaza cualquier responsabilidad y me dicen q no tienen seguro para responder del robo, ya veremos si la consejería de sanidad puede mediar en el asunto.

We had booked two nights at the hotel but really considered checking out after the first nigh as a car is required to visit the city and the restaurant was closed. I showed the receptionist their web page and it said that the restaurant was open. A few hours later we were told that a meal would be coked for us and could we choose what we wanted. It appeared that one chef was ill and the other chef came in and cooked just for us, this was a piece of great customer service which we appreciated. I believe that due to covid the hotel was not getting many guests and therefore revenue was down, this also showed in the garden not been kept tidy, although the pool was in good repair. The room required a little tender loving but had a fridge and AC but no safe. The public areas in the hotel were clean and tidy. The panoramic view of the city was spectacular. I feel for the hotel owners as with reduced revenue they did not have enough money to spend on the outside areas, but I think that as the number of guest increase the hotel will shine once again.

We have spent three weeks in Spain; traveling to Barcelona, Seville, Madrid, and Toledo. The hotels have been top notch and the staffs have been friendly until this Eurostar. Let me first say that we were previously at a Eurostar in Barcelona( the Grand Marina) and received superb service. When we walked into Buenavista not one staff member said hello or hola. We initiated the exchanges. No smiles nada. No offer of water which was set up I assume for guest. I did notice that the staff was much friendlier to those who spoke Spanish. Check in was quick but image our surprise when there wasn’t an offer to have someone cart our bags to our room. We had been traveling all day since 7 AM and reached the hotel at about 3:30 pm. It was hot and we we’re definitely bedraggled. We came to Spain not knowing the language well but have successfully used Goggle Translate. When we went to dinner the waitress admittedly didn’t speak English which was fine, so we used our translator. Once again we were not greeted and staff was reluctant to speak with us.The first waiter said he didn’t speak English and after we got him to understand our room number, he grabbed another waitress and “ had her deal with us”. I understand some Spanish. It was clear that neither waiter wanted to attend to us. After asking for our drink orders we were told “ no”. When I asked for a drink menu she said they only had wine and beer, but I later saw a couple with what appeared to be a cocktail. After selecting and receiving grilled beef tenderloin. The waitress NEVER CHECKED BACK to check on us, until I waved her down for the bill. During dinner staff were around but ignored us. This unfriendly and rude behavior happen again at breakfast. No greetings were returned and again they were obviously friendly to the Spanish speaking guests. Typically at buffets dishes are removed from the table so that you can use a fresh dish. While other guest had dishes immediately removed ours sat in front of us from 8:00 am until our departure at 9:00 am. Let me correct myself. Right before we left one plate was removed. Front desk staff did call a cab as we requested but again they appeared u happy to help us. Honestly, we have been stunned by the ongoing pattern of disregard and unfriendliness. I usually right reviews AFTER I return home.Im writing this while I’m still here. I’ve just returned to the hotel from an outing and 1:30 PM. When I went upstairs my room key no longer worked. The front desk attendant rescanned it but offered no explanation and again was unsmiling until she accidentally ( I assume) flipped the key so that it landed in the counter instead of my hand. The room wasn’t cleaned but perhaps they, like everyone else have a staff shortage. I’d rather have a “dirty” room and polite staff. I’m not sure why but Toledo Spain in general has been the least friendly place. I don’t like making global statements but …. .I’m really glad that we’re only spending two nights here. The hotel is b
