Hotel Don Marcos

La independencia, tranquilidad y el entorno natural

The layout of the room and the view in the night.

No private pool as promised on the side but shared with the other, in total, 6 rooms.On the other hand , when we are the pool not other quests were at the pool….?Staff is hardly speaking any other language next to Spanish.

Huge room nicely decorated and well equipped.Great view on the landscape.Very good dining option on site.Host putting you at ease (he even went with us to get our car stuck in the middle of the small village, to bring it to the private parking lot).

People without car might have some trouble getting there, which would be a pity as this is a very nice place.

Amazing building and interior. Great view of old castle from your room.Lots of wild birds of prey.Very quiet and peaceful. Small swimming pool.

Fridge was not working...

Amazingly beautiful place, everything decorated with such a good taste. The view of the castle is just marvallous. The room is just perfect and with the most comfortable bed you can imagine. The place is totally worth staying for longer. I just regret not staying for longer! But I will definitely come back!

The staff was very helpful and nice.

The breakfast was overpriced and the jacuzzi wasn't clean. We had to purge it several times as it was releasing so much dirt with an awful smell. It looked like they haven't either used it or cleaned it in a very long time.

The clean, modern, spacious room with a great view. Helpful proprietor and good service. Good value breakfast and dinner.

Fabulous location with amazing views. Fascinating artistic touches everywhere, stylish and full attention to detail. Nothing to much trouble and very attentive service along with good food. Dog friendly with food bowls and dog bed. Loved it.

Beautifully decorated, very clean, friendly staff, peaceful location, good food and pet friendly

The location and the view in the castle is beautiful. There is a kinder playground and a relatively small but pleasant swimming pool. We liked the decoration in the rooms made of wood and with clay sinks and big windows. The mosaics made of little stones are very nice.

Althought given the nice location and the positive points mentioned above, we would normally give a highee rate to such a hotel but we had a very unpleasant experience with the owner of the hotel. We were contacted by the hotel before arrival concerning suplementary beds for kids and after some exchanges via the booking app we were reassured by the hotel that they would arrange it without additional costs so we were expecting that everything was in order and ready for our arrival. However, when we arrived the first we heard from the hotel owner was that she didnt appreciate the exchanges via the booking app that we were not enough grateful and she started a stressful and very emotional, confrontational and hostile discussion, which was the last thing we needed after 600 Km by car with 3 little kids in a very hot day. This provoked a very unpleasant situation with the owner calling another staff member to check us in as she said "she was also human" and she could not "tollerate" the situation in fact she had created herself upon our arrival. After the check in we thought we would be left in peace but when I asked whether the restaurant was open, she restarted the discussion by saying that herself and her staff were angry at me/us. My wife was trembling of stress (very bad for her as she recently finished a very difficult medical treatment) and we finally decided to go to eat somewhere else which was not easy being in such a small place where we didnt know where to go, late and with small kids, and with my oldest son's girlfriend suffering from diabets. As we were afraid to use any services, we left the day after without eating breakfast in the hotel.

The whole ambience of the hotel was brilliant. The staff were very friendly and helpful

Not enough sun beds around the pool and one was broken. The outside bar area was a bit scruffy

Artistic architecture and appointments. A lot of work went into the planning and execution of this place. beautiful view of Osma castle

just be aware there are dogs in the area that bark at times. During the night it was quiet

We enjoyed many aspects of our 2 night stay and would stay again BUT a lot of things were not up to scratch for a hotel that calls itself 5*.The VIEW of the castle ruins and the unique DESIGN focus make this place. However, FUNCTIONALITY should come before design!We liked the very big bed and the excellent choice of pillows.Quality "eco" toiletries... But as they are offered in single use mini plastic bottles it somewhat defeats the claim.On arrival we were offered the downstairs "accessible" room instead of the first floor room with balcony which we had booked and pre-paid "easier for luggage and access to the pool"... Yes, but . . .

1.Fridge in room NOT CLEAN: mouldy stains left from previous season incl. an old wine cooler jacket covered in black mould.I routinely travel with disinfecting wipes as I carry medication that needs to be refrigerated and kept hygienic: I do not expect to have to clean a fridge upon arrival in a 5* hotel!2.a. An arty designer sink: but has a 0.5cm lip only= wet feet every time one runs the tap.The sink is unglazed - hygienic??2.b. glass partition between bedroom and bathroom= cannot put light on to use bathroom at night without waking other partner who is sleeping.2.c. Black-out curtains...that don't quite meet so one light from the pool floods in all night.3. A great shower... But water just does not drain away: result within minutes the entire bathroom floor is flooded as there is no lip to stop the water from running everywhere.4. Patio door with immediate access to AstroTurf (artificial grass) outdoor area: several stubbed out cigarette ends here.5. Outdoor furniture covered in dust and dirt. Had not been wiped before guest arrival?!6. Padded cushions on poolside loungers had puddles of muddy standing water on them. In fact, the entire pool area looking tired and uncared for. First week of June felt like end of season?! 7. Constant and omni-present CCTV monitoring?? Feels a bit creepy. A bit more customer care and presence from staff would be more re-assuring.8. Apart from check-in and check-out we saw very little of the people running the hotel. Perhaps mature travellers do not quite fit the target customer profile the hotel wants to aim at.9. We had requested an evening meal on the evening of our arrival. We were only told at check-in that the restaurant is not open until end of June. We would have appreciated being informed before our arrival.10. On arrival the room was filled with insect killer spray (Lots of dying insects on the floor). As a person with allergies I would have appreciated being told before entering the room.

Fantastic modern artist designed hotel. Really exceptional rooms and decor. Beautiful views over the castle from the rooms each of which have a balcony or terrace. Lovely walks in either direction along the river close to the hotel Free onsite parking and dog friendly. Was an absolute joy to stay here.

The sinks are lovely but not very practical

a p

Perfect stay on our motorcycle tour - superb facilities and breakfast freindly and helpful staff

Beautiful new hotel, big rooms, comfortable beds and etc. Thank you for the service and hospitality!! We will come back for sure. All the best to you!

Hotel is amazing. Friendly staff. Super clean. Restaurant top - dinner was awesome!The view on the castle is very romantic.We will go back for sure in summer to enjoy the swimming pool as well.

The rooms are not well soundproofed. The sinks in the rooms are pieces of art, but not so easy to use :D

very nice design, very nice service, very friendly people

a bit of practicality needed example: the open shower lacks privacy which could be incomfortable for some couples like father,son or mother daughter or friends.

Excellent stay, this brand new hotel is run by lovely people and it far exceeded our expectations. From the room with everything you may need, through the received attention, easy and safe parking, to fantastic breakfast in absolute gorgeous breakfast/restaurant room, we couldn't have asked for more. It was also one of very few places where we felt our dog was genuinely welcome rather than just tolerated only in the room as most hotels. Quite convenient to drive to the wineries in Ribera del Duero.Thanks for having us!

excellent atmosphere, great view, clean, charming hosts
