Hotel Balneario San Nicolás

Room and patio were large and clean. Need to improve air condtioning it was noisy. Staff were helpful.

Lovely hotel. Breakfast, lack of proper choice. Very expensive for what qas available

This historical hotel is beautiful. Most of the guests seemed to be elderly visiting to take the hot spring waters which are meant to be very helpful for arthritis, etc. Room was clean and comfortable. Shower was really powerful. The buffet breakfast and buffet dinner were great - all food was freshly topped up and tasty. Breakfast consisted of cereals, bread, ham, cheese, bacon, eggs, churros(!!), jams, etc. Most of the staff do not speak English and our Spanish is pretty basic but the staff were patient and helpful and with the help of google translate and a phrase book we managed to make ourselves understood. Evening buffet meal was good value - 12.5 Euros for soup, salads, fish, meat, vege, desserts, fruit and included water and wine. All the food was fresh and delicious. The town where the hotel was based was a very Spanish one. We enjoyed sampling local tapas and were able to stock up on cold drinks, etc at Spanish prices (much cheaper than tourist areas!). Loved the courtyard where you could sit and enjoy the shade and scented plants. Sun terrace on the roof was also fab - great views. Would recommend this hotel if you want a taste of Spain rather than a tourist experience.
