La Posada De Manolo

What a beautiful place Toledo is and so was this accomodation. Perfectly located next to the cathedral. The rooms were very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The owners, Manojo, his wife and all the staff are very friendly and helpful. They all spoke pretty good English. The included breakfast was also very good. I would definitely stay here again if I came back to Toledo and would recommend it to anyone wanting good value accomodation with lots of character and a homely feel.

We stayed one night and it was a pleasant experience and a good value for the money. The couple that own and run the place appeared to be conscientious and were customer service oriented. It is not a luxury hotel, but it is clean and well-maintained. Our room was next to the reception desk and we could hear people during the day, but it was not a problem at night. The hotel appears to attract a quiet clientele. The view from the room was nice and the view from the rooftop balcony, especially at night, was spectacular. There was an odd smell to the place as another review mentioned, but it was not strong enough to bother me, If I was to go back to Toledo, I would stay here again.

La Pasado de Manolo was a really great location for walking the historic area of Toledo. The hosts Manolo and Almudena were extremely communicative and friendly upon arrival and checkout. The reception area was cozy traditional decor, and the room with attached bathroom was comfortably and attractively appointed. Parking is offsite, so be prepared to walk with luggage. (17.55 euros for 24 hrs after hotel discount card.) This arrangement is understandable considering the hotel location. The walk from the parking garage is approx 4 min over tight hilly cobblestone streets. We found it very doable and sort of delightful arriving that way! The reward is that the hotel is smack in the middle of the Old Town with cars squeezing past your balcony window. We loved the location which was absolutely convenient to all the old town tourist attractions and restaurants.

Fantastic 2 night stay in Toledo. We took the train from Madrid and taxi to the front door from the station. Almudena was a wonderful host and her map of all the important sites to visit is invaluable. We took advantage of the 2 rooftop terraces for evening wine and cheese from the local providore. On our return to the station Almudena organised the taxi to take the scenic route to ensure we got the view back to the town. Insider tip, visit the bibliotheca in the Alcázar for spectacular rooftops views.

My husband and I stayed at La Posada De Manolo 4/29 - 5/1 this year and we loved it. Great location - on a cute, winding, cobbled side street with a view of the cathedral from the top floor breakfast room. The building is old and decorated in a medieval style - our room had large stone weights and chains suspended from an ancient looking cross beam - but with all the modern conveniences. Interesting old heavy doors and latches throughout. We could see the cathedral lit up at night from the breakfast room terrace. The woman at the front desk was welcoming and full of information.

Beautiful hotel, excellent service and hospitality! The bed was comfortable, the breakfast was good with a selection of pastries, fruit, yogurt, coffee, juice. The view from the breakfast room which is on the top floor was beautiful where you can see the cathedral and some of the city - access was allowed at night to view as well which was so nice! Overall a great experience here!

Really lovely quirky boutique hotel . Beautifully converted large family home by the family and still run by them . Positioned in the perfect position for sightseeing right next to the cathedral. Breakfast is in the top floor dining room with an open terrace . It has views to the hills on the left and the very nearby cathedral on the right . Our room was the armoury with a little terrace overlooking one of the many narrow cobbled streets which is a feature of Toledo. Nice bathroom with shower and loads of wardrobe space

Hotel reeks of patchouli oil and is very far from parking, hard to drag luggage over cobble stones. Our room looked out onto a wall across from a busy side street. Tiny room but clean. Reception closes at 17:00 but receptionist was nice. Would not recommend.

More like a 2.5-star really... Pros Great location right next to Toledo cathedral -- one of the most beautiful and amazing cathedrals I've ever seen. We arrived in the morning before check-in time, but friendly owner Manolo held our bags for us and delivered them to the room himself so they were waiting for us when we returned later in the afternoon. The room itself had some character. I liked the brick wall behind the bed. I'm sure it was a very historic building. There was a nice rooftop terrace. Price was reasonable. We had a partial view of the cathedral from our room. Cons My wife and I both thought breakfast was weak. It would have been nice to have some fresh fruit and higher-quality juices. The shower was broken. It was the kind of shower where you're supposed to be able to place the hand-held shower head into a holder so that it becomes a fixed overhead shower. But the overhead clip wouldn't hold the showerhead in an upright position. So we had to rest the showerhead on top of the faucets, where it was easy to accidentally switch the temperature between scalding hot and icy cold. Not a fun way to shower. And the shower cubicle itself felt very insubstantial, plastic and cheap. We had a modern LCD TV and a wall-mounted air-con unit, but no remote control for either one. Not a disaster, but pretty annoying on both counts, especially with the A/C since we could only turn it on or off manually and couldn't find a way to adjust the temperature. The old-fashioned door locks are a nice period touch, but they made it kind of hard to open and close doors, particularly the bathroom door, in our hotel room. As in many Spanish hotels, the room is small. There was actually some nice built-in storage for clothing, but the room itself had only two single beds pushed together - no chairs for sitting and relaxing, no desk for working. We were just there overnight, so it was workable, but it would have felt cramped for a longer stay... The view of the cathedral is nice during the day, but the cathedral is not lit at night (not the hotel's fault) so the view isn't nearly as nice at night. I know Spain has a budget crisis and is trying to save money, but I do think it would be nice if they lit the cathedral a little -- at least until 10 p.m. or so. They could even have floodlights switch on for a few minutes every 1/2 hour or something like that if they are trying to save money on electricity. FYI on Toledo -- Nice town for a day-trip or overnight stay from Madrid, but do be aware that it is as hilly as the guidebooks say and that the layout of the city is incredibly confusing. We had pretty good luck finding our way around most of Spain, but we got ridiculously turned around in Toledo, especially when trying to find the monastery where El Greco is buried. Still, if you are a fan of El Greco, Toledo is definitely worth the trip and the cathedral is a work of art in itself.

Toledo is a day trip from Madrid. Most of tourist clear out of the city by 5pm. Spending the night was worth the reduction of crowds. Most of the historic places are closed, but you get a better sense of the city at night. This Hostal has a great location, next to the Cathedral, but high enough in the city to have a great view of the area. Toledo is a very hilly city, with twisting and tight streets. Its an historical city, with a number of sites. The staff is friendly and helpful to Americans. It is recommended in the Rick Steve's guide book, and we ran into another couple that selected this hostal for the same reason. The hostal has a theme for each floor (Jewish, Christian, and Muslim - since Toledo at one point had all three of these religions in the city at one time), we ended up on the Jewish floor is a themed room - the money changers - not the most PC name. The room had a view of the Cathedral, with a large king size bed, not the best pillows, a small TV and private bathroom. The bathroom had a shower that was smaller than a cruise ship shower, even thought the bathroom was larger room. There is no elevator, but the stairs were manageable. The breakfast was a great value, on the 2nd floor, with a terrace that provided a wonderful view of the city. So for one night, it was a good value, in a historical city.
