Great, simple place to stay. Just be mindful that it's an old castle, so the amenities are older as well. Overall, it was a great and unique experience and I really enjoyed my stay.

We had a nice stay at Castillo de Santa Cecilia, the place views are nice, our room was comfortable, don’t expect luxury it’s an old building, but good to get some rest! The halls needed attention for the cleaning aspect. We enjoyed our stay!

This place is badly in need of repairs. Our room walls were peeling paint and it reeked of dampness. The bed, bedding, and all furniture was super old including the box TV (90s?).The humidity smell was bad and our room had no window to open. Bathroom entirely was in bad shape and barely had water come out of shower along with counter with sink was broken and dirty. The room we got should have never been rented out. Also the place is haunted. Had a horrible night. Got there late and stayed a few hours only but almost left 10 min in. Decided to stay only because of how late it was. They should just turn it into a museum. Place looks magical from the outside don’t fall for it. Just visit during the day.

DO NOT STAY HERE! - ¡NO SE QUEDEN AQUÍ! We made our reservation for 2-nights thinking we were giving our son a one in a life time experience, staying in a “castle”. When we arrived and received our rooms they were in very poor conditions and seemed to need dusting. We tolerated that, but then in the afternoon when my husband tried to shower there was NO hot water. My husband went to reception to try and get the issue resolved and discovered that the only person working was the receptionist. She informed us that the owner and the maintenance person who could turn the hot water on were at a town party and was unsure when they would return. She “upgraded” our rooms, which were still questionable. But the maintenance person was still a no show. When my husband went to speak to the receptionist again he overheard another customer complain about being without hot water for 2 days. At that point we decided to leave and look for another place to stay. Also, my confirmation charge was $211.68 and the hotel tried charging $333! I disputed the charge with my card company! Please be careful when booking here!

I booked 2 nights, I left a night early. The castle was something I was looking forward to but it was a complete disappointment. The room layout was great, the outside property for photos was nice. The room itself was not clean, dusty and only one toilet worked. Saw some dead cockroaches. I traveled far so I was tired to leave at the moment. When it was bedtime both bed covers were covered in blood stains. At the point I couldn’t stay there. I left without even bothering with the front desk. I was so upset. Bathroom drain cover, tiles are all falling apart. The couches and chairs are all extremely dirty. If you want the photos of the castle visit during the day no need to stay. I learned my lesson you get what you paid for.

Lo único bonito es que es un castillo real, pero le falta mantenimiento tiene mucha humedad y en ningún momento informan que su alberca no tiene agua ni siquiera templada , está helada el agua por el tipo de construcción,creo que deberían hacer algo ya que todo el hotel es muy frío, a mí gusto muy personal es bonito para eventos y fotos no más No tiene bar y el buffet muy sencillo

Tienen razón los comentarios acerca del personal, en recepción son muy apáticos , no se siente calidez en su servicio ni te hacen sentir bienvenido.. Yo trabajo en recepción de un hotel también y de verdad esperaba recibir un buen trato. Únicamente el mesero Terán , muy amable y servicial, el si hizo la diferencia. En cuanto a habitación si hace falta limpieza y fumigación, habían dos cucharas dentro.
