La Posada del Conde

Nice small hotel close to the start of the Caminito del Ray. Restaurent was closed during our stay, so we had to walk to El Kisko, that was okay.

Great location for doing the Caminito del Rey however, the rooms were clean but cold without the radiators being turned on. We used the A/C to warm the room. No extra blankets were provided in the room. Shower head couldn't be held on the wall as the bracket wasn't the correct one for the shower head. The lovely young lady at reception was extremely helpful. The barman and waiter, Pedro, was abrupt and rude to us at the table after a glass of wine was accidentally spilt. We were told we would have a table near to the fire as it was actually cold that evening but we were sat against a window as far from the fire as we could be. My wife had 3 layers of clothes on and was still cold. We asked if we could have more wood on the fire and he simply replied "No". I feel he may have realised that he'd over stepped the mark at breakfast time as he was relatively polite. The food for the evening meal was OK but very salty. The chips were over fried and tasted burnt.

Really nice as a whole. Not fancy but spotless, quiet and comfortable. Food was excellent. The only issue was we had 2 episodes where the electricity cut out for 10-20 mins. Not sure if there’s anything they can do about that (as it may be standard in the remote location) but it’s worth being aware of.

It’s a nice place for visiting Cominito Del Rey

Great small remote hotel, perfect for someone that will do the El Camino del Rey hike or just want some nights

There was a problem with the hot water and so we were not able to shower after swimming in the reservoir and before going or for dinner. When we asked how we were going to be compensated, the owner said that he would not and that we were the only clients who had complained. I was speaking Spanish and using the formal address but he used the informal address with me which is very disrespectful. He was extremely dismissive with us and not apologetic at all. However, the receptionist Isabel was quite the opposite, she couldn't have been more accommodating, kind and polite.

Nice little hotel. Great lobby. Room 106 was horrific. Little shower that wont handle the shower and floods the floor. Poor mattresses. Well overpriced!!! The staff was very nice and welcoming. Car parking not too far. Nice restaurant. Ice small bar.

Purposely booked this hotel as the tunnel entrance to the Caminito is a short walk away. The beds are comfortable. Typical Andalusian breakfast, which I liked. Parking next to hotel is free. If you want to walk the Camino this is a great hotel to use as base.

After our Caminito del Rey walk we went to the restaurant/bar attached to the hotel for some rehydration and tapas. We had a really great time and this is highly recommended and certainly MUCH better that El Kiosko that seems to get most of the passing trade. Excellent service, good beer, great patter of a selection of tapas and very good value. We'll be back!
