Hotel La Posada del Conde Ardales

This is a nice 3 star hotel in a beautiful location. We found the room to be cold with the tiled floor and the en suite was a bit cramped. We thought that there was private parking, but were told to park in the road. The best feature was the perfect location for walking Caminito del rey and the surrounding national Park.

Victor - the receptionist that checked us in, was very friendly. He apologized the restaurant was not open and guided us to a different one. We also asked for some ice, which we were delighted he delivered to us as we were planning to return to the desk to retrieve.

Sehr nah am Caminito del Rey, freundliches Personal, saubere Zimmer. Mir hat nur der Föhn gefehlt.

I am rating this hotel as "3" because the staff was superb - responsive, helpful, friendly. The gentelman at the front desk not only patiently explained to me the walking directions but also graciously made me some hot tea. The property itself has a great location and nice common areas, but it is very dated, there was a bad smell in the room and no hot water in the morning.

Mycket vänligt bemötande av all personal. Bra läge för vandring och andra utflykter. Bra parkering.

Friendly staff at check-in and check-out. Conveniently located close to the entrance of Caminito del Rey. Restaurant on-site. Parking on the street is free or a small fee to park behind the hotel. Beautiful building exterior and interior.

Arriving, the hotel is in a good position.Close to the Caminito del Rey. There is street parking, but if you want secure parking you have to pay 3 euro to park on site. Enter Basil Fawlty! The check in was normal and you were advised to bring your bags through the front door before parking your car! Why?, You are about to find out. Once the booking in procedure was completed I went back to car to park and the electric gates were open. Drive in, park the car, walk back to the gate to leave, the gates are shut! There is no buzzer, there is no way you can communicate with anyone to let you out and there is no other means of entering the hotel than through the front. I waited until my wife came out and she had to return to the hotel to ask for the gates to be opened. The rooms are old and tired. Things did not work and the recepionist, Victor, tried his best to get things to work..To no avail. He explained the hotel was full and no alternative rooms were available. I then wanted to return to the car to collect a couple of things. 'How do I enter?' 'Oh, with this gate remote' 'Can I have a remote then please so I can to my car?' 'Ahh, no. The owner does not allow that' ??? So he had to stand at the window and open the gate and watch me return to open the gate. Leaving was the same issue. After check out I went to get the car. On arriving at the gate it was shut. My only option was to blast my car horn, which is loud, to attract attention. Incredible. It goes on, but.....

Nice small hotel close to the start of the Caminito del Ray. Restaurent was closed during our stay, so we had to walk to El Kisko, that was okay.

Really nice as a whole. Not fancy but spotless, quiet and comfortable. Food was excellent. The only issue was we had 2 episodes where the electricity cut out for 10-20 mins. Not sure if there’s anything they can do about that (as it may be standard in the remote location) but it’s worth being aware of.

Todo bien excepto que no funcionaba la TV por alguna avería en la antena que tenían, según comentaron. Por lo demás, todo bien.

Firstly, the breakfast pastries are some of the best pastries I’ve had in my life. (And trust me when I say I’ve had many pastries before today) crisp on the outside, feather soft on the inside. Dinner in the hotels restaurant was delicious!! The lamb shoulder was recommended and did not disappoint. The staff were soooo helpful, gave excellent advice re the hike. Super kind and friendly. Thank you to you all! The room was clean and bed comfy. Would absolutely stay again should I do the hike again.

Struttura accogliente, ideale per visitare il Camminito del Rey e per le escursioni. Usufruito della mezza pensione con la cena nel ristorante attiguo ottima sia la cena che la colazione. Reception eccellente anche riguardo alle informazioni sul Camminito del Rey. Stanze pulite e personale professionale e simpatico.

Super vriendelijk personeel, zeer net alles . Mogelijkheid voor avond eten . Op wandelafstand voor de Caminito te beginnen

Helemaal top! Zeer vriendelijk personeel. Ze helpen je goed en zijn oprecht geintresseerd in je. Ze werken met passie. Keurige kamer en een heerlijk ontbijt.

La limpieza estaba muy bien. En cuanto a la habitación tenía muchos fallos. Entre ellos: el váter estaba rota la tapadera. La ducha el soporte estaba roto. Había dos enchufes en la habitación, uno no se podía utilizar porque estaba tapado con el cabecero de la cama. El otro estaba suelto y había que tener cuidado porque se salía. El televisor solo se podía ver dos cadenas.

Was Ok. Smell of cleaning products hit us as we walked in and took a while to get rid of. Bed not very comfortable. No fridge, or any kitchen type appliances. However it served its purpose as a place to stay that made it easy to walk the trail and get back to our car after.

Interior small room with no window to outside; noisy; no desk in room as advertised; no window in bathroom to vent air outside; no blanket for bed; no signal on most tv channels; only 4 hangers in closet!!

Die Unterkunft ist in die Jahre gekommen und hat ein sehr schlechtes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis. Die exponierte Lage zum Wandern rechtfertigt in keinem Maße den Preis. Ich war sehr enttäuscht.

Wonderful staff

O atendimento do Sr. Gregório e de primeira. Muito eficaz e gentil. Isso foi no check in. No checkout houve um problema, fizemos o camino del Rey e choveu, estávamos molhados e chegamos antes uns minutos de fechar a diária . Solicitamos o quarto, pois já havíamos entregado as chaves, somente para colocar uma roupa seca. A atendente disse que o quarto estava sendo limpo e nós ofereceu o banheiro, como não tinhamos espaço suficiente no banheiro para abrir as malas a solução foi seguir viagem molhados. Tentamos uma alternativa com a atendente para que ela disponibilizasse o quarto por alguns minutos ou outro quarto somente pelo espaço de abrir as malas, mas nos foi negado.

El hotel esta bien situado para ir al caminito sus empleados son muy agradables y atentos en especial Pedro que siempre tiene una frase agradable y simpática

Un hotel sympathique a proximite directe du caminito del Rey...prevoir quand même 35 minutrs de marche pour acceder au départ. Diner et petit dejeuner de bonne qualité

Great small remote hotel, perfect for someone that will do the El Camino del Rey hike or just want some nights

L'hôtel est très bien situé si on veut faire la Caminito del Rey.

Very convenient place to stay if you’re doing caminito del Rey. Scenic views and opportunities for hiking, cycling and exploring the countryside
