Hotel San Francisco - Ronda

Hotel San Francisco in Ronda was such a lovely find. It’s a really cute, authentic-looking hotel right in the heart of town. The location couldn’t have been better for exploring; you step outside and you’re immediately in the atmosphere of Ronda. The rooms were pleasant, clean and a good size, especially considering how charmingly narrow and traditional these buildings are. It felt comfortable and well kept. A special mention to the receptionist who checked us in and was also there at breakfast; she was incredibly warm, attentive and genuinely welcoming. After a few experiences elsewhere in Andalusia where communication in English / broken-Spanish felt like an annoyance to staff, it made such a difference to feel completely at ease and looked after. Breakfast was also very good, with a solid selection: yogurts, meats and cheeses, fresh orange juice, pastries, breads, biscuits, cereals, plus cooked eggs, sausages and beans in tomato sauce. A great start to the day. Would happily stay again.

They are very flexible to let us have an early check in . Staff are extremely friendly. Location is good and only take a few minutes to the bus station, the bridge and other attractions. The room is clean and simple. This is not a fancy hotel but a very good choice if you stay in Ronda. Free coffee and tea offered from afternoon. Highly recommend!

Excellent hotel for bikers. 5 stars for having a garage area for storage, washing and doing simple maintenance on your bike. What a luxury. The room was comfortable and clean, and we didn’t have any neighbor noise. The air conditioning was working well. We took the breakfast extra and although it has a limited selection we didn’t have any problem in filling up for the day’s biking. Very good service and helpful to show you where to go in Ronda. Perfect location and a short walk to the gorge.

* Very good location, close to the touristic attractions* Beds were comfortable* Staff was very friendly & helpful* Breakfast was good with fresh orange juice* Calm rooms

Stayed for 2 nights. Great location and decent breakfast buffet for 9 euros but that's where the positives end. Bed and pillows were too hard, bed was small, a/c didn't work, shower head was broken, low water pressure, toilet didnt flush properly, room was small with a sloped attic ceiling. Parking is in an underground public parking lot for 15 euros/day which you pay the hotel otherwise it's more expensive. I would not stay here again, but loved Ronda!

It was a fine enough place. Disappointed to discover that they will only hold your luggage until 1pm. As our train left at 6pm, this significantly changed our plans for our last day since we were stuck lugging our bags around for five hours. Advertising that you hold luggage and then only holding it two hours after check out is not best practice. Only leaving a review so others might not get caught off guard like we were.

We stayed here for 2 nights as we explored Ronda. We were pleased with the 4 person room: the ventilation was great, the bathroom was clean, and the beds were comfy! The location was fantastic and the price was reasonable. Gracias!

A great little hotel right in the heart of things. Clean, tidy and comfortable. Staff were very helpful. No tea/coffee in the room but 24/7 free down in reception which was fine but the only thing for me was the paper cups were too small for a decent cup of tea. Otherwise, a great hotel and recommended!!

I stayed here after finding a reference in Rick Steves's guide to Spain. The location was convenient to both the train station and city center, and they had inexpensive rooms available without advance notice. I found the hotel to be small and cluttered feeling, and my room was clean but shabby (very uncomfortable bed & tiny shower stall with a shower door that didn't shut properly, getting water all over the bathroom). But I suppose I shouldn't complain about a room with a private bath that was around 30 Euro!

Stayed based on R Steve book review. Overpriced, I comfortable bed, thin walls, bad air cont zero character. Paid $80eu. Least impressive place I gave stayed in Spain. Not sure how it could have made it into the latest version of the book.
