What guests think

At Sofraga Palacio, most reviewers highlight a beautiful historic setting within Ávila’s walls, modern comfortable rooms, welcoming service, and a convenient, walkable location, with many also appreciating the on-site dining and the practicality of paid on-site parking.

The restoration that integrates the city wall draws frequent praise. Noted downsides include occasional noise from events or outside, sporadically slow or brusque outdoor cafe service, and limited breakfast variety at times; parking spaces can be scarce and the gravel surface or walk may be inconvenient. Overall, it suits travelers who value character, comfort, and easy access to Ávila’s sights.

Fantastic location and rooms are very comfy. The staff were all very friendly and spoke English well. We had a great time in Avila and the fact that this is right at the castle gate and forms part of the castle wall makes this place so special as well as easy to get to. Parking is secure and easy too.

It's a decent hotel in a convenient location. However the pictures of the room we've seen in Expedia were not of the room we were given. While the building is an old one, it is completely redone inside so the rooms are just regular hotel rooms. At least our was. So I felt a bit cheated expecting a room shown on the pictures. Parking is limited. We got the last spot. You need to reserve your spot in advance to guarantee it. But overall it was a good stay.

This is a beautiful hotel built into the huge stone walls of Ávila. We were on our second visit here and it was even better as we had a room with the lovely fresh and health breakfast. Every staff member we met was friendly and very professional making our stay great. The parking is good easy to get to private onsite and open air, great for an suv driver. We love this hotel see you again next year.

Precioso hotel, nuevo, muy limpio, cómodo y tranquilo, con aparcamiento y adosado a la muralla. Además de restaurante, que no probamos, tiene una zona de jardines y terraza para tomar algo muy agradable. Las habitaciones son muy tranquilas y espaciosas, con una cama comodísima y un baño con ducha muy amplio.

Es un hotel muy bonito pegado a la muralla. Con terraza (cubierta) y bar y restaurante. Las habitaciones son modernos pero con detalles conservados de la antigüedad como las vigas y algunas paredes de piedra y adoquín. Lo único que en nuestro baño, al ducharnos por la mañana, los pequeños azulejos del suelo se despegaban por lo que molestaba al pisar. Se aconseja coger parking para el coche ya que aparcar cerca del hotel es complicado. Todo lo demás perfecto.

Que hotel!!! La mejor elección de todo nuestro viaje. Dormir en una habitación preciosa, cómoda, moderna, impecable, con la muralla abrazándonos. Increíble que nuestras paredes sean la fortaleza que protegió a Ávila y sigue imponiéndose con su belleza y perfecto estado. El Hotel también tiene un restaurante con cocina de primer nivel. Esperamos un tiempo considerable por un arroz delicioso. Quiero hacer mención que en front desk nos atendieron maravillosamente dándonos un poco de historia del lugar y advirtiéndonos que a lo largo de nuestra estancia quizás pudiéramos encontrar residuos de la muralla por que se desprenden minúsculas partículas de la piedra y sí que encontramos “unas migajitas en la cama” al despertar y nos encantó tener un poco de vestigios de historia. Felices de habernos hospedado en el mejor hotel de Ávila. La casa de mi hermosisisima y queridísima Santa Teresa de Jesús.

El hotel ofrece una experiencia agradable y acogedora, aunque con algunas limitaciones. La habitación, aunque cómoda y bien diseñada, resulta demasiado pequeña, lo que puede restar comodidad a la estancia. Además, la presión del agua en la ducha es bastante débil, un detalle que podría mejorarse para ofrecer mayor confort. Por otro lado, la ubicación es inmejorable, lo que añade mucho valor al alojamiento. Sin embargo, el precio parece estar ligeramente elevado para la categoría del hotel en una ciudad como Ávila.

The building and grounds are beautifully maintained. Parts of the city wall are incorporated into the building. The old beams and brick and stonework inside makes it feel like being transported back in time except it still has the elegance and comfort of modern times. The staff was amazing. They made sure we had everything we needed. When my mother wasn’t feeling well, they came to the room to check on her and offered to get her access to a pharmacy. They gave her extra water and even checked the room temperature to make sure she was comfortable. Very caring and professional.

This Property is amazing! The hotels is within the walled city of Avila, the best preserved early middle age fortress in the world. The walls encircle an area of 33 hectares and contains a functional city. The Sofraga Palacio hotel has been built inside a palace begun in the 1500's and upgraded in the 1800's. They have built modern, tasteful accommodations within the original walls. They left exposed whatever walls and beams they could while not compromising the modern hotel. The way they abruptly transition between the two totally works. Beware; the hotel gives a 10% discount coupon for their restaurant BUT if you sit in the portion of the restaurant OUTSIDE the hotel’s exterior wall, you will not get the discount. The waitress was not attentive. It took us 2 hours to order our food and have it served. The food was very good… the service was… not.
