Hotel Monasterio Benedictino

The location and buildings were awesome. Fantastic view of the church from our bedroom window which was beautifully illuminated at night. Particularly liked how the architecture of the monastery was preserved and incorporated into the restaurant. Very impressive.

This is the second time that we have stayed at the Hotel Minasterio Benadictino and I'm delighted to say that I had forgotten what a superb hotel this is. Our last visit to Calatayud and this particular hotel was a very quick visit on route back to Santander for the ferry, this time though we a little more organised and this enabled us to spend a bit more time taking in the hotel and the city. The hotel is in a great location in the city and has underground parking, big plus for anyone travelling by car/motorcycle using Calatayud as a good stop off to/from the ferry ports in the North. The hotel and rooms are all very clean and in a high standard, the beds were unbelievably comfy and make it a struggle to get up of a morning. I really cant believe the value for money that this hotel provides, we paid 60 euros for a stay on a Thursday night in June and to me this is absolutely fantastic value for money for the quality of the hotel. To add to this, the (very traditional) restaurant is fantastic as well and with menu of the day at between 14-15 euros per person, it again is amazing value for money for the quality. All together we paid around 100 euros for dinner, bed and breakfast for two people...i wish I had left a tip! A little on Calatayud, nice little town/city, there are some nice squares and historic building off the main street that runs through the centre which give an opportunity to see some of the architecture. There is a lovely park with a lake, in the middle of that lake is a little kiosk/bar that serves snacks and massive cocktails. Nice spot to have a drink for sure. Finally, there is a nice walk along the river that runs through the city/town centre. You'd be hard pushed to find many tourists there but for me that is a good thing and I've grown really fond of this lovely but small town/city and the fantastic Hotel Monasterio Benadictino.

First class hotel. Modern and stylish , incorporating features from the old monastery. Very comfortable. Super clean. Excellent and friendly staff. Very good restaurant ( opens in the evening at 8.30). The evening menú was great value. The hotel is situated in the centre of town with a free public car park outside. (We were lucky and found a space). I will be happy to recommend this hotel to my friends.

Staff exceedingly helpful, nothing to much trouble. Breakfast was plentiful with a good choice and fresh with regular replacement. Evening meal, I can't understand how they produce a good 3 course meal for the price. Waiters helpful and guided on choices. Will return and recommend.

Everything! Great location, great price, great food & the most helpful staff...yet, still very Spanish. Grateful for the visits we've had there - we will make serious route diversions to go again
