Hotel Nuevo Palas

“Dr”

This hotel has style, atmosphere and reasonabke prices. The personnel is friendly, and always smiling. Plus, the view from the top is magnificent. The only negative is some noise from the street-side in rooms facing the main street. We will be hapoy to return

“A nice find”

The Hotel Nuevo Palas is right near the roundabout as you enter the town. No need to proceed down the narrow, one-way, tree-lined street.

The Hotel Nuevo Palas is right near the roundabout as you enter the town. No need to proceed down the narrow, one-way, tree-lined street. Just continue around the round-about to the Parking for the town, or turn left and proceed up the two-way street to another Parking. The hotel has a fine wide raised porch a few steps off of the street for eating, enjoying a drink or just sitting and doing some people-watching. The rooms are large with amenities like sitting chairs and a desk. The bathroom was clean and complete with a long shower (no tub). The bed was comfortable and there were enough sockets too recharge phones, iPads, etc. Our room, and I believe most of them, had a balcony and also a drop-down darkening metal shade as well as a double-insulated/noise-reducing door. Quiet and sufficiently dark at night. The breakfast was large with melon, fruit, yogurt, breads, jamón, orange juice, coffee and cookies. Believe me, more than you can actually eat! And the breakfast was included in the price of the hotel. The hotel hostess/proprietress was friendly. I recommend a stay in this hotel and this town if you are traveling through the Alpujarras. A roundtrip through the hill towns can be made in 4-5 hours (more or less) depending on howe much time you spend in each village. Stay at least two nights with the Alpujarra trip on the next day.

“A super meal!”

We are staying near Lanjaron and ate here one evening. We asked to eat indoors as several of the outside tables had smokers sitting at them and we intensely dislike the smell!

We are staying near Lanjaron and ate here one evening. We asked to eat indoors as several of the outside tables had smokers sitting at them and we intensely dislike the smell! The Spanish lady in charge couldn't have been more helpful and even presented us with menus written - more or less - in English! The bacalao con gambas was delicious, and the portions were huge! So big in fact that we didn't have room for what I'm sure would have been a very tasty postre. The meal was very good value. Two main courses accompanied by agua con gaz, a glass of wine and a beer, with two cafes con leche to follow came to only 38 Euros! We enjoyed the experience so much that we're going back tonight to try a different offering.

We stayed here for 3 nights at the beginning of August. The hotel is conveniently located on the main street of this small town. Most shops and restaurants are within walking distance. We got one of their large "suites" with a good sized sitting area. There was a tiny balcony as well...not big enough for chairs, but pretty. The air conditioning worked very well despite the heatwave. The hotel is charmingly old-fashioned with crystal chandeliers, marble floors etc. The rooftop pool is tiny...more like an oversized jacuzzi, but the view of the castle ruins from up there is very good. The place was quite empty, but the people working there were all very nice. The continental breakfast included was very good but don't expect eggs or any hot food for breakfast. We had dinner there which was also very good and the portions are HUGE. The biggest problem is finding a place to park. The hotel has no private parking of its own and the town is crammed with cars. This is a good place to base yourself for a trip to the higher elevation towns of Pampaneira, Capileira and Trevelez which are certainly worth a day trip.
