It is nearly impassable to get there; we had to back up a small side street. Not fun. Just park at the underground garage--take a taxi or the fabulous shuttle bus which regularly runs on the monumental route--a bargain for less than one euro. And you get to watch a pro manuever through the narrow streets--a lot more relaxing! But, it is fun to sit on your own balcony and enjoy tne remarkable sunset. Breakfast is prepared to order, which is a refreshing change from the self-service buffets of other hotels. My only real complaint is that the wifi is not strong enough to much. Couldn't book our next stay, using their weak connection. Oh, and on the way out, please consider buying cookies from the nuns in tne convent next door! I am sure they will pray for you, if you make a small free will donation.

If you already are getting a double room, go ahead and pay a little more for the terrace…read more Beautiful views, and how nice you can just enjoy your piece of this view privately. Ok if you cheap out, honestly, you get this view from the major scenic point in Arcos, and if you were to take your morning breakfast off the hotel's terrace (recommended). My tip: 1. If you rented a largish car, you are going to be very squeamish driving into the Old Quarter. You better copy the locals and pullin your mirrors, look at everyone's scrapes on the mirrors to amuse yourself when you walk around town. 2. To get to the hotel's recommended parking, the Plaza del Cabildo has no signs. So drive into the Old Quarter, and as soon as you go thru the 1st arch (of the major church), take the immediate right and you suddenly will be rewarded into a small parking lot. If you pass the 2nd arch, you've gone to far and you better immediately follow the signs to exit town.. or risk getting yourself stuck in a tight driving situation w/ a million point turn in tiny streets full of locally parked cars. 3. Don't pay for a ticket from the machine in the lot (limited to a few hrs). Go to the hotel directly and get a parking pass to display in the car window, which you will pay a much discounted rate at the hotel upon checkout.

AMAZING hotel!!! We found this hotel in a travel guide book…read moreand decided to try it out. We decided to feat the streets and park up the hill near the church. If you are comfortable driving on the narrow streets go for it because the church parking is near. You can purchase a parking ticket from the hotel. We had the opportunity to stay in a room on the bottom floor with a terrace. I highly recommend that. We had some wine while overlooking the beautiful countryside of Spain. The views are breathtaking. The hotel itself was extremely quaint. No wifi in the rooms but in the courtyard yes. Comfortable setting, extremely awesome host! Great bathrooms... She gave us a great recommendation for a tapas restaurant nearby. Great stop I highly recommend it!

La Casa Grande was wonderful with beautiful cliffside views, quaint rooms with modern renovations,…read morehelpful staff, and a delicious breakfast. I enjoyed a relaxing overnight stay in Arcos, which was a nice slow change of pace and a break from the fast-paced sightseeing I had been doing in other parts of Spain. There only bad thing I have to say is that we had a bit of a driving fiasco getting to the hotel (no damage done, but I just about had a heart attack due to the stress). DO NOT drive in Arcos unless you are used to very narrow and steep roads. If you do drive in Arcos, follow the hotel's directions rather than GPS, which leads you up stairways and one-way, residential switchback streets. Make sure that you get an automatic or are really good with manual transmissions.

We only ran into the maids once (never heard them!) and the front desk staff changed every few hours but as we were in and out for a few days each person we encountered was extremely pleasant and welcoming. They were quick to call cabs, they helped with directions to restaurants, and they even helped replace a room key that I lost. All with a huge smile. The bed was a California King - unless there's something bigger? It took up almost the whole room. Which was fine with me because who wouldn't want their room to be a bed?! The windows looked out onto some old city walls, no biggie, but the blackout shades kept the warm air out and the blasting sunlight. It could be midnight 24/7 if you want it to be! In addition to the comfy bed and the sultry, dark room, the bathroom was killer. Super modern fixtures with a rain shower (for two) and a massive soaking tub. Possibly for two? My fiancé isn't much of a bather - but that meant more room for me! The toiletries included plenty of towels, separate shampoo/conditioner, soap, and even bubble bath. The room came equipped with a safe, lovely hardwood floors, fliers and info about room service and spa amenities and even a local guide magazine that showed what businesses were nearby. Sadly there wasn't too much activity on Yelp so we did have to rely on other sources a bit. The room rate was insanely affordable (I think around $90-110 a night for a King sleeper?) and you get free breakfast in the mornings from early (7, 8?) till 10:30am. The breakfast was awesome! You could choose from 1-100 items including donuts, various other pastries and cookies, to eggs, toast, charcuterie, fresh fruit, yogurt, and more. There was also instant coffee, tea, and a selection of juices and milk. This was the best meal of my day during our entire stay! If you stayed anywhere but this hotel I'd think you lost your mind.

The atmosphere and location were beyond my expectations. We could walk just a few meters to the main church and all the restaurants. The room was spacious and the bathroom was clean and luxurious.

We sat and talked and could see the beautiful sights of the city below through the windows.

The rooms we OK. Comfort and cleanliness for sure, but a bit smaller than I expected and the WiFi wasnt that great. When traveling Europe for as long as we are, connection is a must. None the less, it was a perfect place to stay. The breakfast included was just right. The town of Arcos has alot to offer and the cathedral on the hillside is breathtaking. If you are trying to decide between several places, for the price, this place is perfect. Enjoy!

We got a 5 person room with a private bathroom. We were pleasantly surprised to find that our room actually had private bathrooms for both men and women, and that made the whole sharing-a-restroom necessity much easier and more convenient. Everything was very clean, the beds were soft and comfy, and the bathrooms had showers with hot water (surprisingly not a given in some hostels). The location is quite easy to find (even at 3 in the morning), the receptionist was incredibly welcoming and helpful, and there is an underground parking garage right in front of the building. Even though we only stayed at this hostel for a few hours, it was actually a very nice experience. I would definitely recommend this place if you're traveling through Spain and need a place to crash for a night.

Given its location if you have a car you will be parking in the newer part of town in the parking garage and either hiking up hill 15+ minutes with your luggage or taking a taxi. We took a taxi. The streets are crazy narrow even for the professionals. We arrived early and were able to check-in. The woman at the front desk was delightful and super helpful (she also checked us out and ordered us a taxi). Fortunately I booked a superior room and it had a stupendous view of the valley below. The hotel is right on the edge of the cliff. The hotel is an old palace so it has its quirks but the room was big and the balcony huge. There was a safe and a small frig and tea kettle. The price was pretty good but it was off season. Not a big deal given the room we had and it was the weekend but the main square of town right outside the front door is in the midst of major construction so it could be loud on weekdays depending on the room. This project looks like it has a long way to go... Thumbs up.

Our room was nicely decorated, yet a little on the old side. Felt convent-like, especially due to the picture of the Virgin Mary behind the bed. The kicker though was the large roach, which I watched scurry across our bathroom floor one night. Wifi was a little spotty, but that seems to be par for the course in the hotels I visited in Andalusia. Breakfast, which costs ~30 eur/two people was good, and includes fruits, meats, tea, and coffee, but it was by far the most expensive meal we had in Arcos de la Frontera. I'd recommend having breakfast only once, so you can enjoy the view from the restaurant windows of the valley below.
