Hotel YIT Casa Grande

I agree totally with an earlier review and wish I had taken more notice of it. Firstly the good points; great location from which to visit bodegas and the Alcazar; smart exterior and public rooms and roof terrace. However, there is a constant smell of drains around reception which is unnecessary and unpleasant ; the internal rooms are too small as you virtually trip over over the bed upon entering. No tea or coffee making facilities; no hotel staff present in the afternoon. No restaurant or bar service anywhere albeit breakfast was ok. In summary this is not a 4 star hotel but for a one night stop is just ok.

Negative points: Expensive for solo traveller. Perhaps due to Carnival. Definitely not a 4 star boutique hotel. Stayed on ground floor in room 004 with a window looking onto the hotel corridor, hence no fresh air. Claustrophobic. Shower leaked and water in sink (reported) very, very slow to drain away. No sanitary bin or paper disposal bags. No tea/coffee making facilities and none available in hotel, other than at breakfast. There was a vending machine, but no full-time receptionist. Breakfast only from 8am, but they will let you in earlier if you inform them. Rock hard poached eggs, no baked beans and very greasy bacon, but you are in Spain. A shame nothing else hot. Positive points: Receptionist Fatima very helpful and Arantxa absolutely wonderful. All staff excellent. Very modern. Clean. Fridge. Wonderful terrace for warmer weather. Sadly it rained whilst I was there. Bar across the square is great, but not the two a few doors away on the same side as the hotel. Why book there then? Limited availability and only 10 mins walk from the railway station, centrally located, eg. for the market, Carrefour supermarket, the Alcazar, cathedral, wineries. I would not stay here again. The boutique hotel Palacio Corredera across the square has 1, pending 3 stars. Just as good with all day free tea/coffee facilities in downstairs seating area. I was told the ratings are all over the place and not to pay any attention to them. Book online for the cathedral 8 Euros, excellent. Free tours with civitatis. Carlos Harto Ortiz was my guide. We each gave him Euros 10. So good. Max 6 persons. Approx 1.5 hrs. Equestrian dance show out of this world (well worth 22 Euros) and winery visit a must. I went to Lustau. Not great, rushed, guide disinterested in taking questions. Visit Cadiz by train 30 mins from Jerez.

Absolutely great - everything you see in the pictures...with fantastic location on a bustling palm bedecked old sqare and short walk to Alcazar and Cathedral. Reception, service incredibly gracious and helpful. Lovely breakfast servied in the indoor courtyard - really restful and peaceful and some very good rates available. Defintely hope to return

This hotel would have worked perfectly for me when I was younger and less discerning. But if you’re used to bathroom doors that close and stay closed, delicious breakfasts, and small details that add to your hotel stays, it might not be for you. |The first thing that greeted me upon arrival was a vending machine. Odd. Then someone appeared and shuttled me into a side room rather than checking me in. I waited, confused, then popped my head out and was told to get back in that room. Eventually I got checked in, taught the key system, and brought up to my room. The kettle I requested arrived promptly. In fact, anything we needed was taken care of—toilet paper, a taxi—efficiently. The location is good too. And there are still lovely remnants of what a beautiful house it once was.|I admit that I didn’t do a lot of research when I chose it. It was recommended in the NYT and has a high rating on Trip Advisor, but I’m not quite sure why. Perhaps my expectations were too high? My 22 year old self, backpacking around Europe, would have felt like I was in the lap of luxury. My older self, not so much.

Loved our stay at casa grande. Excellent location, close to bodegas (try diez merito for a great sherry tasting). beautiful rooms with a Sun drenched rooftop terrace. The friendly staff made us feel very welcome. I Highly recommmend casa grande for anyone visiting Jerez de la frontera.

Good located hotel with good rooms but I just want to say not all rooms are good because they have indoor rooms just when booking ask them.

What a sweet little hotel in an easy, walkable location for enjoying the sights of Jerez. Lovely, immaculate, traditional Spanish building with updated amenities (elevator, air conditioning, modern plumbing) and attractive decor. Inside my room I never heard a peep in spite of the hotel being fully booked. Excellent breakfast buffet with lots of choices including cereals, fresh baked goods, ripe fruit, cheeses, Spanish ham and chorizo, and eggs cooked to order. Handy little bar to grab a drink for your room, the terrace or one of the comfy lounges. Good bed with quality bedding. But it was the staff who really put it over the top- warm welcome, helpful and ready with local advice. I’d absolutely stay again.

The hotel is situated at a lovely square in the centre. Breakfast was generous and very good. The receptionist, Fatima was enormously helpful with providing us with addresses of good bars and restaurants. We stayed 3 nights, the first night on the ground floor where the rooms don’t have windows looking out to the exterior which I found very difficult and claustrophobic. When I asked the next day if we could have another room Fatima arranged the move to a different room with lovely view of the square. |If I could have one small criticism it would be that there are no kettles in the room to make a cup of tea but otherwise this is a lovely hotel with extremely kind staff.
