“Lovely location with good service. Stayed in a deluxe room which was a nice experience with a great bed and a ballroom bathroom. Of course the style needs to be your cup of tea but you know that when you book. The gardens and pool were a nice addition. Initially something wrong with the reservation, but all solved satisfactory by the lovely staff. Tip: the on site restaurant served great food and has very fair prices. Quality is a notch up and the atmosphere is unbeatable.”

“Beautiful serene hotel. So peaceful and restorative. We did a package to include evening meal and breakfast. The food was excellent. The evening we were there was shared by a large group of cyclists which changed the dynamics slightly but the hotel was enchanting.”

“My family and I had the most wonderful time at Hotel Monasterio de San Francisco. The weather was beautiful, allowing us to eat outside every evening and enjoy the pool during the day. My son is asking to go back. The hotel is so relaxing. The sound of the birds and the bells were incredible. We did have a few issues with the service. There was confusion about what meals we were allowed on our dinner bed and breakfast tariff. I think if we had of know it was only two choices a night, we wouldn't have opted for this. The children's meals were basic and sadly not really eaten. Breakfast was good, although as we were first down (thanks to the children) we found the tour parties, with an earlier time slot, had used everything and nothing was re layed till well after the standard breakfast time slot. One morning we sat and waited at a used table and weren't offered any clean cutlery or napkins. The honesty bar was a lovely option, however the hotel was very busy with parties. One day during our stay the paper you write what you have taken wasn't layed out, the drinks were hot because the ice hadn't been replaced and the wedding party were helping themselves. I can't fault the room it was fantastic. Most of the staff were lovely and we're always happy to help or help make my toddler smile.”
