Besides a pleasure and picturesque hotel the staff is unbelievably accommodating. Breakfast is excellent.

We stayed one night at this wonderfully situated hotel in the center of the white village of Arcos…read morede la Frontera. 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.
I wanted to love this hotel. Located at the top of Arcos de la Frontera, and overlooking a cliff,…read moreit's the perfect location for a hotel on a mountain. 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.

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!

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.

Nice hotel next to the lake. After traveling all day, this was the perfect place to land. Friendly,…read morehelpful staff. All inclusive with Restaurant, bar, pool and right on the lake. 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!

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. He beds were comfortable and the temperature in the room was perfect. The sitting area on the first floor is amazingly inviting and there were chestnuts sitting by a fire in the fireplace at night. We sat and talked and could see the beautiful sights of the city below through the windows.

My room was in an outlying building rather than the main structure but it was still very nice and reasonably comfortable. The shower had a tendency to get the floor very wet. The bed was a bit on the hard side but not enough to keep me from being well rested. The hotel restaurant had good offerings for dinner. The quality of the food was fine. Breakfasts were great with a lot of nice offerings, There is a small outdoor swimming pool that I used once. The grounds of the hotel are very nice but there needs to be a few seating areas to really enjoy them.

The only negative was that there was a scramble in the morning for the shuttle. The front desk should take reservations for spots because a few people showed up late, couldn't get on the shuttle and got upset. A better system or larger shuttles could have alleviated this. Overall not a bad stay.

Some of the best I've encountered in Spain. My girlfriend lost her phone on our bus ride to Jerez. And, the front desk tried and tried to help us get it back. So kind and helpful. My one complaint...the beds are soooooooo damn hard! It affected how well I could sleep. Am I a weird American because I don't want my bed to feel like plywood?! Regardless, for the money, we really enjoyed our stay here. Jerez, in general, is a fantastic town. So laid-back!! Get to a Bodega and taste some Sherry wines!

The massage was carried out as if in a hurry, the bed was rusty and way too small ( I wonder how the average man gets through an hour on such a tiny bed) and the room was a steamy 27C/80F. The thermal circuit was nothing more than a few different showers and Jacuzzis. Not bad just not OK either.

They say Spanish eat a light breakfast but the Room was filled with Spanish people chowing down just like me. The Room was great it was spotless. The place is hugeAnd the staff was very helpful and friendlyA lot of times I find with hotels on websites they say the hotel is 3 stars and 4 stars and ends up being 1 or 2 stars. I am happy to say this is truly a 4 star Hotel you won't regret it!
You could give me all of the sherry in the world and I still would not want to stay at Hipotels…read moreSherry Park. Tripadvisor failed me once more. Combined with an alluring (but nonrefundable) deal on Hotels.com, I thought I would be living the lush life, drinking vino de Jerez until my blood alcohol content was as high as my grade on my first exam. Needless to say, this did not happen. Firstly, the whole concierge process was always extremely slow. Need the code for the WiFi? Need a taxi? Expect to wait in queue for a good 10 minutes or so. Jerez is oppressively hot in the summer. So when the elevators are broken and I am carrying two pieces of luggage up to the third floor of my hotel, I have a tendency to get dizzy. Coupled with the malfunctioning air conditioner, I was a dehydrated, hot sweaty mess. Oh, but it gets better. I had a feeling that I had been giving a smoking room, although I specified "Non-Smoking" when I made my reservation. I wake up the next morning, covered in cigarette ash. Disgusting. So at this point, I am a dehydrated, hot sweaty mess bearing semblance to an ashtray. Sexy. If there were guidos in Spain, you'd bet they'd be partying at the bar across the street where I got to listen to Benny Benassi/Paul Oakenfeld/Tiesto or any miscellaneous Pete Tong essential mix circa late 1990s. When I return to Jerez, I am going to save a ton of money and sleep in the Tio Pepe cellar. Done and done.

The hotel staff spoke fluent English and always were very courteous and helpful. The biggest problem was with noise. We were on the first floor facing the parking lot. Even with the windows closed, the noise carried through interrupting our sleep. Also, someone in the floors above allowed their child(s) to run up and down the hallway which also made sleeping hard. If it wasn't for the noise factor, I would rate this place much higher.
