10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at Dorma Casa de los Linajes for 9 days with my wife, and we absolutely loved our stay. Even though the hotel is rated as a three-star property, it definitely does not feel like a typical three-star hotel. We had a room with a beautiful view, and the scenery was truly enjoyable. One of the highlights was watching the hot-air balloons take off each morning — a wonderful way to start the day. If you have a son or daughter starting at IE University, this is a perfect place to stay. It is within walking distance of Plaza Mayor, as well as many restaurants and other attractions. We would definitely recommend this hotel and, whenever we return to Segovia, we will not look for another place to stay."

"Last of us meets Sponge Bob. The hotel was wonderful for us but not for the usual reasons. The place had a nautical theme with an interesting galley/rooms/dining area. The place seemed empty but there were people checking in and out periodically. The staff was excellent--completely helpful, willing to accommodate where possible, all in all around some of the best we experienced in Spain. The odd parts to the building-- the nautical sitting room which had no one in it, The Gym was included was across abridge--oddly enough the Spa was closed so no one is in the whole building. Gym was fine for a work out but during daylight only as I don't think the shower/locker area had power. In a few places there were beer bottles/wine bottles that were not cleared away, god only knows how long they were there. This added to the experience in the eeriness quotient of the place, but not in a creepy or scary way. The dining room was interesting. the breakfast was good. The bar/tavern is closed, but looked cool in a Long John silver way. All told, this place seemed lost in time, run down around the edges, but speaking of better days. We loved it, but not everyone will."
