  : Nice people
  : A lot of noise in the rooms from the apartment below, which make it impossible to stay for the second night for some of the people traveling with me

  : Very comfortable room with excellent bathroom. Great views of Toledo from the balcony. Took about 20 minutes to walk into Toledo so did not need to drive in which was a bonus.
  : Nothing

  : It was clean in the room.
  : Hostel had not announced in advance that varnishing and wall painting would be carried out outside the rooms.. Not even at the check in...!! So as an allergic person, I had an allergy reaction, and I couldn't sleep much. Very inappropriate. When I went to complain in the morning, there were different people, and you shrugged your shoulders... The smell was horrible in the rooms and I had to leave suddenly. I'll never go back

  : You will find Hostal Caldern de la Barca just as you enter Zalamea from the north, opposite Plaza Caldern de la Barca. There is street parking in the plaza and I parked right next to the hotel. The hotel rooms are above a very typical town centre bar/restaurant with a great atmosphere both in the bar and the outside street terrace. There is a separate entrance to the bedrooms next to the bar but there was no lift to my second floor room. The single room was adequate and, with a couple of little but acceptable quirks, had everything required. There was a view over the large rear terrace and rooftops. My evening meal was interesting because the tapas of lomo especial and queso de serena which I thought I had ordered arrived as rather large bocadillos. The croquetas caseras de jamn was tapas size but arrived with patatas fritas. Needless to say, I needed an extra copa de tinto to help me through all that and, even then, I didnt quite manage it. I did however manage the usual caf and tostada con tomate y aceite in the morning. This is probably not a place for the discerning northern European traveller but the very traditional look of the place and the feel to the whole evening meant that it was right up my street and I enjoyed my stay.

  : Essentially the hotel offers good en-suite rooms on the third floor above a bar / restaurant at a reasonable price. The food was typical of a bar restaurant - but really good quality and very tasty. The ensalada mixta was one of the best weve had - very fresh and tasty. in the modern part of town, opposite a little park with parking outside.
  : Just the stairs to the third floor - but we didnt try to carry anything heavy up - and treated it as good exercise.
