C/ Cardenal Cisneros 12 Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha 92 522 88 28 http://www.hostal-casa-cisneros.com |
Hostel Room Rates: €100 - €150 |
Hostal Casa de Cisneros is another of Toledo’s enchanting medieval homes that has been renovated as a hostel. This house dates to the 16th century, built atop the remains of an 11th-century Moorish palace. If you can reserve one of the 10 rooms, don’t hesitate. This place is all wood beams and mellow lighting with rough stone walls, stained wood floors and solid antique furnishings. You pay not for a finely attuned staff (friendly, yes), but for the experience.

Hostal Centro is usually fully booked. The rooms are modern but nothing special, with cheap wooden armoires and nightstands. The balconettes overlooking the plaza are nice, though. Bathrooms, television and air conditioning are standard accessories.

Hostal Puerta de Bisagra is located just inside Toledo’s walls by the beautiful Bisagro gateway at the base of the hill. If your knees don’t take kindly to uphill walks, opt for one of the hostels mentioned above, which are all at the top of the town, then drive your car up to the underground parking lot (hope that there is a space) and walk downhill from there.

The elegant Hotel Carlos V has fine accommodations a block off the popular Plaza de Zocodover, but just around the corner, in the back, is the reason I mention it. Facing the front of the hotel, follow the Calle Juan Labrador that runs along it to the left. Alittle way down on the right you’ll see a nondescript sign for a Pension and an old wooden door leading into it.
