    No provision for breakfast . The owner did however inform us of cafes nearby which served breakfast.

    The owner was very welcoming and friendly .He assisted with parking in the hotel garage and explained what to see and was very knowledgeable about the monastery and palace.

    A little noise from the hallway when other travelers were coming/going.

    Staff was amazingly helpful and shared great information about the area and where to hike, eat, and other activities. My room had access to a beautiful balcony. The bathroom was lovely and the bed was very comfortable in my large room.

    The fact that the posada did not provide breakfast had been made clear at the time of booking, and the owner made up for this lack by providing details of nearby places where we could buy a breakfast.

    Our room was lovely with lots of period features, including a tapestry above the bed. The hotel owner was very helpful and provided useful recommendations of places to eat and how to do what we planned to do.

    Fabulous location and comfortable clean room. Ignacio was wonderful, gave us lots of information about visiting the town and the escritorial. He also took time to help me with speaking spanish. Parking was available and easy to locate. Short walk to cafes and restaurants, cute town and had a great stay.

    The room and the house was amazing. We had an outside terrace with table and chairs leading from the bedroom. The location was easy walking distance to the restaurants.

    Loved everything. However, if you have mobility issues, note there are stairs and an uphill walk.

    Everything. Beautiful grand house, beautifully appointed, scrupulously clean, comfortable bed. Positively gorgeous bathroom, walk-in closet, delightful terrace. Ideal location, quiet but super-convenient, smashing views. Amazing value. I never rate anything at maximum, but I make an exception for this.

    Nothing really.

    Hotel is right in the centre of El Escorial which is set in the mountains in beautiful countryside just outside Madrid. the town is a bit of a tourist trap but is a nice place with Philip II's palace and a lot of very pretty countryside around. The owner was very friendly and helpful and had a list of the sights to see and a guide to the best restaurants. His suggested walk up to a viewpoint was quite long and hard but well worth it. You could see the town, the palace and all the way back to Madrid, 25 miles away.
