Pros +
- We were passing by so stayed only 1night. We did not expect much, to be allowed to stay with a dog and have where to park the car. Los Guardeses exceeded our expectation by super friendly and kind staff, no extra charges for the dog, breakfast included in the price and free parking on the street. Thank you so much!
- Location, breakfast, Service,
- Beautiful hotel! Easy to find and easy to park just outside! Lovely front terrace! Comfortable beds and amazingly clean! Lovely warm and welcoming atmosphere x
Cons -
- Limited parking in area on Friday Night if you arrive late. Arrive on Friday before 4pm(16:00) to Secure parking Spot - because in this area lots of people Part to visit to Bars on Friday night.
- Very small tv! Not many channels! No news or English channels! No tea or coffee making facilities or room service! No mini bar or fridge x
- Parking – this isn't available at the premises. Also, there isn't a restaurant. We were able to park nearby fortunately and there were places to eat nearby also, if required.

The staff were lovely and so accommodating. The room was clean and suitable for us as we were travelling with our furry friend Finn, a cocker spanial. Breakfast was also included which was continental and adequate and considering the prrice for our room which was a Black Friday special, we were happy.

It’s our 3rd time staying here!We love it!Location is perfect 200meters from centre of town.Our 2 mini schnauzers were welcome.Lovely shaded outside patio.
Within its historical walled garden, we found a hotel with ambience and style. Staff were very friendly and helpful; we got a double room as requested, and they managed to find a safe space to put our bicycles for the night. Breakfast was quite elaborate compared to some other hotels in Spain.
It lists having a restaurant, but it seems that is only for the weddings that they have there practically every weekend. The 2nd floor room was of good size, but daylight only came through two small roof windows at 1.7m above the ground (short people would not be able to see our)
Beautiful building, excellent location, extremely friendly staff. Classy room and good size
Window on our room were above our head level. Natural light but unable to watch outdoors.
Staying at Los Guardeses was an extraordinary experience. It is located in Solares, in a reformed, former marquess house. Although it is surrounded by modern buildings, the garden with abundant plants maintains it's unique atmosphere. The staff was helpful and friendly, and shared the history of Los Guardeses. The room was very clean and had all equipment from the description. I was happy to find a good quality hairdryer. The beds were comfortable with two, long pillows for each person. Breakfast was tasteful with variety of products. To sum up, I strongly recommend this place.
No lift
Superbly friendly staff, beautiful building, great breaky, super clean, ace shower, loads of great local restaurants, super woodland discovery walk close by
Couldn’t fault it
Ana on reception was superb. She couldn’t do enough for us. Can’t wait to go back next year.
No drinks facility in room.
Staff was very nice.Breakfast is included in the rate and was very nice and lot's of choice.Having breakfast in tghe gorgeous garden is just great!
An airco or fan in the room would have been nice, since it was a bit of a warm room.
Beautiful old building and very clean staff were brilliant really helpful
No lift
The terrace and the yard were super nice to sit in and have breakfast or just relax during the day.
The lamps in the room could have had a warmer light, instead they had this really nasty white neon like light which did not look comfortable.The breakfast was okay, however a few more options for bread garnishes would have been nice, just ham and cheese was a little few in my opinion.
As a dog friendly hotel goes , this place was fantastic , great staff and very clean .. highly recommended
Parking tricky
Love the place. Classy and well kept. Great staff
Night time dog barking was the worst that I have ever experienced. How the locals don’t call the police about it is beyond me.
Well we were shocked this was not a 5 star. We stayed 1 night before our sailing to Uk. We wished it coud be longer. The beautiful 18th century building & courtyard were stunning. Clean room, comfy bed/pillows & even toiletries supplied. A delicious continental breakfast included. The welcome and information we received by the male receptionist on arrival was so good. A fantastic 1st impression! I have already recommended it to two other couples on the boat!
We loved everything, especially pet friendly in a private area.
Staff was phenomenal. Picturesque experience. Like living in a mission with beautiful plants and ancient history.
Beware that pet friendly means literally dogs and cats are part of your experience.
Beautiful castle, comfortable and the service impeccable. The location was good for us and very easy to get parking.
Although there is no elevator, the rooms are easily accessible.
The staff were brilliant. Very helpful and friendly. Property is beautiful. Very comfortable and beautiful garden. They allowed us to park inside the main 'owners gates' which was very much appreciated as car filled with our belongings, but without we would have been on street. Two disappointments, overlooked by tower blocks of apartments and no restaurant. Breakfast was lovely and service was exceptional. Thank you to Isabel for understanding re car and parking.
need to go out to find restaurant, albeit they provided excellent recommendation
The staff were so friendly and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble- even though we arrived late at night after a delayed flight. They were very helpful in suggesting places to eat and helping with directions. The hotel was beautiful, the room comfortable and clean. Fantastic attention to detail. The breakfast spread was great.
We would've like to be able to close the window shutters to make it darker, but despite this we still had a good night's sleep.
