Great location, just right at the El Escorial. Nice, clean room. Unfortunately, on the 4th floor the WIFi was not working well and because of a bar across the street it was so loud at night that we couldn't really sleep until about 3 o'clock.

El Hotel está estratégicamente ubicado cerca del Monasterio De El Escorial y también tiene muchos restaurantes alrededor. El personal es muy amable. Las habitaciones son un poco pequeñas, pero está muy bien para un par de días en los que solo se busque un lugar donde dormir. Se requiere buscar parking público o privado.

2nd time here lovely friendly staff and food very good

This lovely hotel has the best of both eras - historic and present. It has the marble staircase and beautiful carved wood of the early 1900’s with the modern bathrooms, free WiFi and AC required by today’s travelers. The staff is terrific!

What a great place to stay! Old historic area but modern conveniences inside. It was a great mix, and the receptionist was super helpful and nice.

Despite rain and cold we were comfortable in the hotel. Friendly, helpful reception staff. Restaurant so- so. Nevertheless for price and convenience we’d recommend.

Great place right on the heart of San Lorenzo, Bar restaurant is also excellent, service desk Sonia and Alice were very professional and friendly

Great location. Convenient parking, suite qas espacious and with a nicw terrace with great view. Bed a was a little hard for my taste.

The room was of a decent size with good bathroom facilities. We were awoken late at night with some locals enjoying a bar TV football game. The Hotel is a 1 minute walk to the Palace which was a fabulous, huge, exquisite out of this world building. We paid the 15 Euros to do the Palace Tour. The highlight was the vaults containing the Tombs. These where fabulous marble creations numbering perhaps 50 It seemed that most of the Middle Ages Royals from all around Europe had ended up there - even some of our English Regina ones.

This hotel is a local legend. It's perfectly situated for a visit to this lovey town. The front desk staff is lovely and the rooms are clean. The rooms I had were on the small side and basic but it's a very old building and that's what I expected.

Very comfortable stay, we were very please with the close vacinity of the town and the monastery. It was nice to be able to bring my dogs and feel so relaxed.

The hotel is very conveniently located near the Escorial and it has a certain old-world charm and authenticity. It would have been quite good value for money had the receptionist not charged me twice: I didnt realise I had already paid via Expedia and funnily enough she didnt give me a receipt so I suppose she pocketed the cash.

The hotel has a history... it´s been running since the XIX century... so.. the rooms have not been properly updated... wooden floors cracking all the time, the beds were really uncomfortable and hard... plus the service at the reception was a bit rude.. and the cafeteria serves sandwiches with ice in them... Not definitely a place to stay in...

Was very inexpensive (1/3rd the price of other hotels we stayed in in Spain) and located with a beautiful view of the monastery in El Escorial. However, on day 1 our bedroom had no tables! The TV was on the floor, and no side tables. We thought it was kind of funny and maybe fitting in terms of proximity to the monastery. We were told at the front desk that there was no wifi that would reach our room. We were mostly thrilled to have a room with air conditioning after 90 degree July day. However, the bed had an extremely thin mattress and no mattress pad, so the comfort level was akin to sleeping on the floor. Things improved in day 2 - we got the wifi password from a more helpful staff member at the front desk as I tried to work downstairs and found that the wifi range did extend to our 2nd floor room, though it was somewhat spotty. And when we returned to our room for the second evening, we were pleasantly surprised to find tables. So, we probably would have had a better experience had we demanded it, but no overcoming the thin mattresses.

Room was perfect for my needs. Very clean. Great air conditioning. The hotel had no notice of my reservation but I had confirmation. The desk clerk was extremely helpful and friendly,gave me a small individual room at a lesser price that I could enter at 11am. The hotel is old but I like that. Great restaurant and service there too. Literally across the street and down the stairs was entrance to El Escorial. One of the housekeepers went out of her way to make sure the air conditioning was working properly. Very kind. The only problem was that Hotels.com hadn't communicated my reservation to the hotel, but that was no problem for the hotel!

The wifi was in the lobby only. Apart from that it's a good spot. Super location

Nice quiet hotel very well located. It is close to many restaurants. Unfortunately parking is not easy. There is a public parking at a cost of 2.70€/hour. The internet is only available at the reception area and restaurants/bar.

After reading some reviews that were a bit hit and miss and leaving booking til last minute we were a little apprehensive. We didn't need to worry, the room was spacious and clean, beds comfortable and staff friendly and we enjoyed our stay. We didn't eat in the restaurant but the bar seemed busy and the beer was good! Would recommend.
