Hotel Mari Carmen

Central hotel within easy walk of the cathedral etc. Restaurant at the side is very good value and nice food. Rooms are spacious and en-suites are modern with large shower cubicles. The strange thing was the lack of milk in the room- they provide a kettle, teas, coffee, sugar & sweetener but just give you 2 very small milk portions for when you arrive. Asked at reception on evening 1 for extra milk but he said he didn’t have any. On day 2 the coffee and tea were replenished but this time no milk! Asked at reception when we hot back in the afternoon and the guy said he would have to ask his boss who he proceeded to ring. More milk was granted and the guy said he would bring them to the room. 10 minutes later he arrived with just 2 of the small portions- unbelievable! We went across to Aldi and bought a fresh litre but had trouble keeping it cold as no fridge in the room. The milk issue was not major but very annoying as can’t understand the thinking!

Two things can be highly recommended here: the full blast of AC, which, unlike in other provincial Spanish towns, is completely in the guest’s control, and the cleanliness of the rooms, with a very efficient cleaning staff. The front desk is very helpful, the WiFi is decent and there’s a laundromat right next door, for long time travelers. The main problem is its distance from the center of town…a good twenty minute walk which can be very unpleasant in the summer time, and it’s even farther to the bus and train stations. Also, the attached restaurant is not very good, so getting a meal involves a long walk.

Excellent place for overnight stop on way from Pamplona to Almeria, Great beer and pizza.

Hubby and I stayed in this hotel. The receptionist was REALLY friendly upon entry. We were checked in fairly quickly. One can park outside the hotel (plenty free parking there)-no private though. The hotel has a restaurant which one could eat breakfast, lunch etc. The room was very clean. Handicap accessible and friendly. There is an elevator. We hadnt paid for breakfast in our package as one could eat as the locals do (which we love doing). There are restaurants near the hotel that serve the local spanish breakfast. Internet was good. Great location. We had a view of the street. Beds were very comfortable. Very short but pleasant stay. Have a question? Just ask them at reception. They seem so happy to help and guide us around their beautiful city. HIGHLY recommend this hotel if you e in Guadix. Thank you Hotel Mari Carmen! :)

Hotel bien situado aunque algo alejado del centro, andando nos ponemos en la catedral en 15 minutos, la habitación ni amplia ni pequeña pero muy limpia en general. Algo ruidoso puesto que da a la carretera. En general muy aceptable y de mi agrado.

La estancia agradable. Lo peor, el funcionamiento de cisterna (habitación 202). Lo mejor, Esther, en la cafetería-restaurante, un amor. No pierde la sonrisa y buen humor ni en los momentos de más agobio. ¡Gracias Esther!

Didn't visit the hotel, just the restaurant and had a menu del dia with which we were very happy.

Nice quiet hotel, good food, 5mins walk from centre
