"Very central hotel. Walking distance to all the main attractions ( aqueduct, cathedral, alcazar etc). We booked the breakfast and it was good ( except the coffee). If you need parking, you should book in advance as it is very limited. Also, the terasse is not open at night, which would be nice to sit outside."

"We loved our stay here! It is elegant and situated perfectly for exploring Segovia. The staff was very helpful and spoke great English. The valet, Jorge, was especially helpful. The drive in the city to the hotel is a bit white knuckle, but there IS a place to park to unload the baggage, and then they send the valet with you to secure your parking in the parking garage. That was a relief! We had a lovely room for 3 with an amazing balcony. We splurged a bit for this room, but felt it was worth every penny."
