“Standard Spanish Style "Roadstop" Hotel”

Bottom Line Up Front: Not luxury, but convenient, clean, secure, and great value for money for an overnight stop in transit. Stayed here for one night in transit by car.

Bottom Line Up Front: Not luxury, but convenient, clean, secure, and great value for money for an overnight stop in transit. Stayed here for one night in transit by car. It is easy to find, being literally alongside the motorway. Easy to park - there is CCTV covered parking inside a secure "hangar garage" at the back on the building an an extra E10 per day - otherwise there is open parking in front of the hotel. Reception prompt; Spanish speaking only. Our room on the first floor (lift available) was spacious and clean, although the aircon did not work. The bathroom is large, and had a large bath with shower over, copious hot water, sink, WC, bidet etc. Plentiful bath and hand towels, bathmat etc There wasn't much a view from the window, but then for a simple night stop, one doesn't really expect one! Bed was huge and comfortable. Wifi worked fine for normal use (email etc) As usual for Spanish hotels, the noise from other guests and children goes on later than northern Europeans would expect, and the soundproofing between rooms is not good, but everthing quietens down eventually, and there is no booming disco etc. Breakfast is not inclusive, and can be taken in a large "canteen" style area. Again, if you are happy to go with the flow, and enjoy strong coffee, and Spanish style eating then go for it. Familes with "snowflakes" in tow who are more used to Starbucks, may find it a challenge adapting to local cultural norms. I booked through Booking.com, and paid just over E50 for a weekend night, and then opted for the extra E10 for the secure garage.

We have used this hotel quite a few times when driving to the UK or returning via France . Its just of the motorway but if you are going north dont miss the turn of its past the hotel and you double back over the motorway. Its very good value around 35 euros more or less. Its very typical Spanish mid budget , rooms are clean A/C in summer warm and cosy in the winter. The restaurant is yes canteen style cheap and basicbut for one night its fine and cheap. Breakfast is basic coffees and sweet cakes doughnuts and whatever might be on offer at the bar croissants etc . Parking plenty off with ctv cameras we have always used the car park even with a full car. There is a rear closed private parking area at a price around 8 euros i think . It is a transit hotel so you will meet or see all kinds of people passing through , truckers coaches and individuals . Oh there is a lift to the rooms . All in all for a stopover fine and we will continue to use this when we travel north or south as our resting point . A tip if you dont like simple food then pack something to eat in your room . Reccomended for what it is , been staying here on and off for 30 years or so .
