    Pros +

    • The hotel was very quirky as it was jazz themed and each room was named after a jazz great. There were interesting photos and mementos displayed and the public areas were lovely with comfortable sofas and chairs. The room was a good size, the bed really comfortable and the shower was great
    • Breakfast was good. The hotel have a jazz theme, each room was named after a jazz player.
    • The owner is really friendly!

    Cons -

    • Car parking could a bit of a problem as you need to park in the street and at busy times it might be difficult to find a space close to the hotel
    • There were very few restauants in the village, the few that were open offered limited menu's.
    • Breakfast was really strange..its probably what the eat regionally but for foreigners they would do better to stick to classic foods like bread & butter or eggs. Sound proofing is not great we could hear the loud TV from the room next door but it did not bother us to have a great night sleep.

    Very welcoming couple. Accomodation very clean and spacious and really well presented. Beautiful courtyard which would be amazing if very hot. In a small town, which we like.

    Breakfast a little limited and it appears to be the same every day, served on a tray in the dining room.Pity the resturant which is in the accomodation is no longer functioning, that would have been perfect.

    The hotel was lovely, clean, with a fabulous atmosphere and very comfortable. Breakfast was good as was the coffee. The staff were very welcoming and helpful.

    We had read that it had a restaurant but unfortunately it was closed. There were other places to eat nearby though - they just didn't look at good as the hotel restaurant had.

    Excellent little hotel in a quiet village near Merida (that has a couple of lovely bars). Each room is jazz themed, Lola and Pepe and the lady who does the breakfasts are friendly and chilled and the rooms are clean and comfy. A lovely place!

    Be aware you're a 15 minute drive from Merida, in case you're going sightseeing. You'll need a car.

    We love this traditional house perfectly restaured with thousand of details. This place dedicated to music and jazz is absolutely unique and created and managed with passion and love...Here everything is linked with Jazz. We have slept in the room Duke Ellington and it was more than amizing!. A necessary place to stay in an incredible friendly village!

    8MikePosted on: 7-7-2024

    Breakfast was very Spanish,a little strange to a stranger.The interior of the hotel is lovely.

    The town was quiet with limited restaurants which open quite late.

    5DmitriPosted on: 6-29-2024

    Friendly owners, nice decor, cozy garden, large bathroom, high ceilings. Good jazz playing in the common areas.

    The restaurant is closed. The parking is on the street, wherever you find it. Very limited breakfast. Hard mattress and pillows. The room we had was on the ground floor with a window to the street which had to be closed and shuttered - no daylight, but you could hear whatever was going on outside, like the construction next door.

    What a little gem of a place , had to call when arrived as locked up but owners arrived quickly and we were pleasantly wowed when we entered

    9Michael W.Posted on: 4-29-2024

    The place is beautifully decorated, the rooms very comfortable, the staff friendly and helpful, overall a very pleasant stay at a bargain price.

    I had been looking forward to having dinner at the restaurant (very well reviewed) and was a little disappointed to find it closed. Apparently it's been closed for several months due to staffing problems. Alternative options are available in the village. Nonetheless it was a very enjoyable experience!

    9WarrenPosted on: 4-25-2024

    Great friendly owners, excellent decor and large stunning room

    Tiles on the shower floor were raised in places. Parking can be difficult out on the street. Other than that excellent.

    We had a lovely ground floor room with a most comfortable bed. Its an interesting hotel with the jazz them and the courtyard would be wonderful in summer. Parking was very easy

    As the listing highlights their restaurant, we were very disappointed to find it was closed. This was a primary reason for booking as we had driven a long way that day and knew we would be too tired to go out. We dined at a nearby bar (Alhambra) recommended by the hotel and the food was quite good and very reasonably priced.Breakfast mentioned Irish or English in the listing but it was not offered and instead it was stale cakes, weak coffee, orange juice and something we couldnt identify that was very dry and inedible. We took an apple each and ate that.Internet - forget it. It was impossible to use it as it went down often.

    We had an excellent experience in Hotel Rural Principe, a very cozy and relaxing historic place. The welcome was extremely friendly. The rooms and bathrooms are big and comfortable and the place is very quiet. The hotel is very nicely decorated with jazz music themes, each room is dedicated to a jazz legend, the owners are jazz musicians and we had nice talks about music. There are a few good restaurants close to the hotel, just a few meters walk. Worth its money and we would definitely come back when in the area.

    Nothing, everything was just perfect.

    Good Breakfast, good environment

    Restaurant was closed for diner

    8GabrielePosted on: 12-21-2023

    The room was very quiet, nice and warm for winter, all amenities were there. Nicely decorated. Old village house done up in rustic style with inner courtyard. Very nice. Sadly the mattress gave me a back ache, but then I'm a sensitive nature while my husband on the other hand slept perfectly well on it. The breakfast was great and very generous by Spanish standards and we enjoyed it very much.Staff was very friendly and helpful.

    My mattress, but that's a personal thing. There was a smell of drains from the bathroom, so best to keep the bathroom door shut at night. It's an old renovated house after all, so I expect there are limits to what the owners can do to remedy this.The location is fine for an overnight stay, not inspiring for a longer walk.

    10UnknownPosted on: 10-28-2023

    Absolutely stunning. Lola and Pepe were great and very accommodating. The place was beautifully decorated in a jazz motif with each room named after a famous jazz musician and/or singer.

    Quirky nature of the hotel huge bed and the staff

    Steps to room with all bags

    7StephenPosted on: 6-21-2023

    The hotel has been very well restored and is a beautiful building inside

    It is a shame that the town has very little to offer. I stayed on a Monday night in June and not a single restaurant was open to be able to have dinner
