Hotel Toboso Chaparil

Hi, stayed here for a week which included breakfast,and the pro's and cons are thus, Pro's, very clean hotel, staff very pleasant, food at breakfast was adequate although not a vast choice but enough choice to start the day off. Hotel is 5 minutes walk away from shops, bar's, and the Balcon de Europe. Con's, if you have an early flight home, as the restaurant isn't open,you can ask for a breakfast bag to be made up, we asked if we could go in to get a tea, coffee as it was from a machine anyway and was refused, the breakfast bag consisted of a sandwich made up the night before, a bottle of water, a kids juice, a hard pear, and a yoghurt with no spoon to eat it with. So I walked outside and gave the bag to a man who was sweeping the streets, but the biggest thing for me was the con at check in, they tell you your room isn't ready yet but can show you a similar room that's ready, and then show you a tiny room you couldn't swing a cat in with a small window looking onto the smallest courtyard you've ever seen, (supposed to be a standard room) and then tells you you can upgrade to a superior room which she takes you to, with a small balcony overlooking the square. An improvement as it was a bit bigger with a view over the square and after viewing the standard room you are going to upgrade at a cost of €105 extra. My question is, if the standard room was similar to the room we were being allocated which wasn't ready, why not allocate the one that was ready? My thoughts are that this is the con, show you the worst room so you will upgrade and be another €105 out of pocket. I wonder how many others have had this experience. Would I stay here again, it would be a no, as there are better hotels of similar price, much better ( M B Boutique, 5 minutes away for one) which we stayed in previously.

My wife and I, two mid-octogenarians, have just spent 28 nights at this hotel. The hotel is well placed in the centre of things, it took me 10 minutes to walk to the centre of this charming little town. The hotel is manned by efficient, helpful professional staff who speak English. No rooms have a sea view but are well appointed, our room 208, had a walk in shower and a balcony with a view of the mountains. Rooms without a balcony are grim. The wardrobe had a foot print of about 55cms so guess who lived out of suitcase for 28 nights? The house-keepers were good at what they did and looked after us very well. The breakfast room and the breakfast layout was awesome, with a wide range of good healthy options, a saving grace for this hotel. Sadly this hotel has no soul or atmosphere, it is what it is, a backpackers refuge. Would, I stay there again? Yes and No, yes as a backpacker, the breakfasts, Wow, as a long stay no.
