Recommend!

The location was excellent - you can't do better if you are exploring the old part of the city.

The absence of a receptionist meant we had no easy why do get answers for questions like organising a taxi etc. No where to leave luggage after check out.

A great apartment, just very hard to get in!!

This is a review in 2 parts, the good and the terrible check-in. The room was great and the location was perfect in the middle of the old city. But our short stay was further reduced by the terrible check-in experience.

When we travel we often spend 40-60 nights in different places, so I have experienced many check ins. This company uses a high tech no personal contact process and rather than take the money from your credit card they send you a link as part if their check in to pay. It must work sometimes but if you don't like surrendering your mobile to their app and don't read Spanish you may have a terrible time like us. We ended up in the hotel foyer locked out of the room, their Tablet in the foyer was spinning in a loop, while many phone calls were made, and What'sApp messages flew by for over an hour. They said they had an office nearby but declined to send anyone around. I never got the payment link before arriving, and they seemed incapable of getting it to me despite them earlier saying the check-in was completed after I sent my Passport Photo to them via WhatsApp. Unhappy? Sure, AM!!!

If location is a priority, check this out!

Location, location, location! Also spacious and clean! We were in room 202, windows opened into the lane. Was a fabulous view from our window. Very comfortable bed.

Bathroom smelled, even though there was a odor eliminator plugged in. The headboard became a little problematic, being in a double bed, the bed pillows kept hitting the light switch.

Avoid if you have a car

Location location location. Right in the middle of old university town. Perfect for Salamanca.

Parking: cars are not allowed in old town in the day time, hence you can not drive to the hotel. You need to find your own parking 15 minutes away and then carry your luggage the 15 minutes to the hotel. The losing should be modified to clearly state there is no parking. Staff: totally not available. I messaged many times and absolutely no response. There is no one there physically so that's not an option.

Nice but noisy

Right in the center of things, quiet little side street with bars, restaurants and a decent coffee shop in a 2 minute walk.

Can't blame the hotel but I was on the 3rd floor and there was building work in the building next door. Hammering and drilling all day, including on the adjoining wall right next to my head.

Salamanca gem.

Very efficient, very comfortable and central location for Salamanca sights. Once we grasped electronic check in the virtual keys were great.

No hot water for shower at night. Pillows a bit flat.

Quiet, easy, well-maintained property, however don’t expect social interaction or frills.

very clean and well taken care of.

The water in the shower was either changing between hot and cold or it would stay scalding hot to the point it was hard to shower. I also liked the easy check in, but because the lights were motion sense and it was pretty quiet, the vibes were a little creepy. Also the walls are very very thin. I also had to move the twin beds together to get a double bed.

Very central location for decent proce

Great stay in the middle of the old town, everywhere in Salamanca easily accesible on food. Restaurants/Bars in the same street, but no disturbances, so walls have decent sound insulation. Access by app/code, no problem at all.

I got an accessible room for some reason, which I don't mind, but a shower curtain would still be nice to avoid flooding the whole bathroom when showering.

Poor

As a pension, it was ok. Location was good and the view of the Cathedral from our balcony was nice.

I am not a fan of the on line check in, but as I learn, it gets better. There was a problem with the advertised cost of room with breakfast on Booking. Com and what it ended up, higher and no breakfast. The site says they are fixing it, but no compensation or an apology. Once again no staff to talk to.

Great location and good place for a short stay.

The location of Sara by Gaiarooms could not be more central to the major sights in Salamanca. The room was spacious and much to my surprise had a small kitchenette, not just the refrigerator I expected. I could cook breakfast or a small meal there. No oven of course, but a stove-top. The bed was excellent. Despite being just above a busy outdoor restaurant my room was relatively quiet due to double doors to the very narrow ledge/patio. I found it very pleasant to be there.

The code sent to me to enter the room using my phone did not work. I had to call a nearby office for help. There was a iPad-type device in the entrance-way that could have worked, I think, but the assistant on the phone opened the door remotely. There was an actual key inside I could use after that. The remote key never worked on my phone for the 4 days I was there. I do find some of the newer systems used by larger rental companies to be complex and they require a lot more back and forth via email, phone or text to make them work.

we would give it a 10 if not for the air conditioning problem on the second night

excellent location, our room was noise proof.

The air conditioning only worked the first night of our two days stay so it was very warm and uncomfortable on our second night. we couldn’t sleep.

Great value for money

Great stay. Location was perfect, room very clean, wi-fi available in the room. Clear instructions on how to check-in.

Not something negative necessary, but not having a person in reception and having to do everything digitally might be a bit tedious for some.

Excellent location

The biggest surprise was that the room had an actual kitchenette where simple meals could be prepared, albeit in cramped quarters, but great nevertheless. I had read that just a refrigerator was provided. For convenience, the location cannot be beat. The Hosteria is located in the heart of the historic district surrounded by university buildings and historic sites. It can be a bit noisy at night with outside restaurants literally in the doorway, but the double windows muffle most of the noise and earplugs do the rest.s

One bed was not very comfortable although the mattress could be turned around to work better. Also the rates are confusing with clearly much higher rates on weekends than weekdays, double or more. I also had difficulty with the tedious online check-in process and then the online”key” to open the actual apartment door did not work. It was resolved using WhatsApp with the office since. The we-fi password had been given in advance and could be used once at the door. Still it was disconcerting. The downstairs door worked fine with the remote key.

Really enjoyable stay, excellent price/quality ratio

The location is perfect, right in the center of the city, allowing you to explore it on foot. The room was really good for a Hostel, the bed quality is good, the bathroom, the AC works properly, and the room was clean.

The only 2 things I would like to get improved are: - The number of electrical outlets in the room are too few for 3 people. We had to turn off the TV and the WC air freshener to be able to charge the 3 phones + 1 watch of ours. - Since the check-in is automatic and virtual, the check-in hour could be a bit ealier at 2PM (the virtual keys only work starting at 3PM on check-in day)
