Castle Old Town Hotel

Booked the smallest standard room which was tiny with a bed against window and there was a Faint drain smell in room-whch was slightly unpleasant, and room was a bit grubby, but it freshened up once been lived in for a few hours. Smart TV not connected to Network. Wifi was inconsistent in the room. Mostly off than on Hand rail on stairs up to room was loose and dangerous and came off in hand. Saw that had been reviewed a year ago so not repaired. Building work is going on in adjacent hotel but it's not too bad. Covers on bed are dried hard, so it feels like laying under a biscuit! Sheets on my bed had 3 tears/ holes in. Parrot in cage near reception squaking nonstop from early so ear plugs needed if light sleeper Breakfast is either a buffet or brought to you depending on how many guests are in the hotel. Buffet is better so you don't waste food. For UK guests, serving chips for breakfast is very odd. Location is really great in the centre of old town Easy to get to with a straight walk from Hadrians Gate Nice thick, comfortable mattress on bed Very sun-catching relaxing pool terrace available and nice Spanish music playing - Buena Vista Social club vibe Great value hotel if you can get a very good deal and would recommend if so, but recommend to get a room other than the cheapest unless its only for a night or 2. Staff very friendly and helpful and will do anything for you. I will stay again if the price is right.
