Lovely hotel fantastic decor. Room was very large, super comfortable bed and a balcony with two chairs. The bathroom was enormous with a balcony. Staff was very friendly helpful and polite. Dinner was good and interesting choice of meals. The drinks were slightly expensive but considering the good price of the room with breakfast included and dinner That’s was fine. We will definitely stay here again and would recommend this lovely hotel. We would rate it a 10/10 😀

Lovely location for a stopover
Brilliant location - restaurant, terrace and some rooms have a fantastic view over the Despenaperros valley. A good stop over for anyone driving between Madrid and Andaluia. And a good base for walking. Good sized room and good Spanish breakfast. Friendly staff. Only disappointment is that the bar is a bit expensive and doesn't offer tapas and the range of food is limited. And St Elena offers few other watering holes, We travelled outside the hunting season and found the stay excellent value. Might be more in demand during the hunting season.

Not the best. But okay.
I liked the place. But it wasn't that special. But for the price it was good. We had been travelling through Spain from France and this was just an overnight stop. So it was okay for that. I won't be going back in a hurry though. The bathroom smelled awful. I think the bar prices and restaurant prices were expensive compared to the other hotels we have stayed in. The food. Well, it must of been us. Because it was packed with locals. We had the deer with freezing cold potato puree. The meat was just slightly warm. Maybe that is the way the locals like it. But it wasn't for us. The staff were very nice.

Cheap hotel situated perfectly for a 1-night stay
We stopped here during our road trip from Barcelona to Motril in the south of Spain. It was perfectly located between Almagro and the Sierra de Cazorla. We arrived late in the evening and the check-in was fast. The staff is friendly. The room included breakfast which we think makes this hotel good value for money. The parking facilities are right in front of the hotel which makes this hotel great for a one-night stop.
