We booked the Suite for a long weekend and weren’t disappointed. Room was spacious with numerous balconies. Extra touches with cakes, fruit or sweets daily along with bottled water, besides the normal tea and coffee. Cleanliness was second to none. Staff were professional and polite. Breakfast was full of variety along with freshly cooked eggs and bacon by order. The indoor and rooftop pool facilities were amazing. Lots of restaurants in the vicinity along with bars. Just a short walk...

Hotel location was excellent for the things we wanted to see, could walk everywhere, all the staff very friendly and helpful, good self service breakfast was good value for money and we were glad we decided to include it. Parking was difficult to find, but following signs to the Alcazar will get you there.

Comfortable, modern studio apartments in the heart of the city. Well equipped kitchenette (2 burner stove top and microwave) and good size bathroom with excellent walk in shower. Lovely viiew to one of the city squares from rhe Juliette balcony (we were room 104). There is also a small shared rooftop terrace with seating. Excellent value for money.
Only thing to be aware of is that the free public car parking is 10 min walk away with quite a lot of stairs to navigate with your luggage.

The staff were very friendly and spoke good English. The hotel has great lounge space. Also interesting mural of all the famous people who have stayed there. The room had tea and coffee making facility in the room and two fresh bottles of water were supplied every day. The room was spacious with a great view over the mountains. All the sights were within easy walking distance including the amazing aqua duct. We also visited the cathedral, castle and the royal mint that has now been...

The Hotel San Antonio El Real is really fabulous. It is not part of a hotel chain, the building is a former convent and is styled like a Parador. It is build around a courtyard and is very impressive, both inside and outside. Our room was not over large, but very clean and comfy. The staff were all extremely helpful and friendly and the breakfast was substantial. There were lounge areas but we didn't have time to use them as we were far more interested in walking the length of the aqueduct...

The hotel is extremely nice, as it appears from the photo but for me the service was just incredible. Everyone in the team is incredibly nice and well trained - we felt very special throughout our stay. Gracias Pilar and team - I can’t wait to be back

The hotel was beautifully located at the centre of Segovia. You get out of the hotel and all attractions are walking distance. I loved people watching from my balcony during our stay. Staff were friendly and spoke english. (Thank goodness for that!) The room was a good size and the decor was so gorgeously victorian. Breakfast was alright, just the typical continental breakfast. Overall, we had a great stay at the hotel and Segovia.
