Hotel Palacio de los Velada - Avila

The location of the hotel is perfect, facing the cathedral, within the old city walls. The room was clean and spacious, breakfast good. Communal rooms ver grand.

Charming former "palace"? of nobles? Great atmophere and breakfast in lovely atrium glassed in atmosphere.

Staying in this majestic palace was a truly a great experience-large and comfortable rooms with excellent facilities!! Fully recommended!!

We wanted a hotel that was convenient to drive into town (it is inside the wall) and for parking. Great location, fairly easy to get to and out of. The historic nature of the hotel was very enjoyable. It is big and roomy with delightful courtyards for eating. Breakfast was excellent. The town is very accessible. Would recommend and stay there again.

This is a wonderful hotel from every perspective. Service was consistenly excellent. Our room was spacious and bright. Bed and all linens were premium. The bathroom is spacious and made of marble and very attractive matching tile. New bathroom fixtures. Everything is kept scrupously clean. The hotel has a beautiful central atrium with glass ceiling with an overall cover that is drawn to provide shade during hottest time of day. Resturant and bar are in atrium. Parking is under the hotel. Best of all, the hotel is right on the cathedral plaza, right in the center of town. Two minute walk to cathedral, less than five minute walk to entrance to stairs leading up to walk along the wall the surrounds the town. Avila is very charming. The hotel's plain facade belies a very lovely interior. This hotel added much to our enjoyment of touring and visiting there. Only downside is that the hotel elevator does not descend to garage level. Rather than carrying luggage up a long flight of stairs from garage to lobby elevator, we unloaded at lobby level before parking in the garage. Simple solution to a minor problem. Also, gates through the medieval walls entering the townstreets are very narrow as are the streets throughout town.....but that's to be expected in such an old town. Overall: Great hotel, beautiful town, good value for money.
