We truly enjoyed our 4-day stay. The front desk staff was extremely helpful. One person actually took my postcards for grandchildren with her and personally mailed them for me. They were always friendly and glad to hear our questions and provide excellent recommendations. The hotel was perfectly located for our activities at the University of Salamanca and a short walk to the Plaza Mayor. The view from our room was beautiful. The room was quiet. The cleaning staff did a terrific job. The city is well-light at night, so you can feel comfortable being out after the sun sets. Runners/walkers: ask the front desk how to get to the running/walking path that parallels a river. It's a short distance away and it's a safe place to run or walk.

“Decent hotel with parking ”

This is quite a modern largish hotel with efficient rather than friendly service. The hotel is easily located a little away from the city centre area but has its own garage and the main attractions are no more than 20 minutes walk. Breakfast was a good buffet choice. Public areas are spacious.

“Lovely hotel with great staff but falls down in a few areas.”

Nice hotel. Very helpful staff. Our room was clean and warm. Good stock of toiletries etc. view was lovely and hotel in good location. Breakfast really good. Now for the not so good - unfortunately the hotel website advertises sound proofing - this is definitely not the case. We could hear our ne… more

Nice hotel. Very helpful staff. Our room was clean and warm. Good stock of toiletries etc. view was lovely and hotel in good location. Breakfast really good. Now for the not so good - unfortunately the hotel website advertises sound proofing - this is definitely not the case. We could hear our neighbours very clearly. Manager was informed and had no comment. Also advert states satellite tv but apart from international BBC news channel there was nothing in English - there are German and French channels but no English channels ?? and I thought English was the international language? Manager said that a technician would be called in 2 days. I think that’s a standard reply that never happens. No USB outputs in rooms.

“Room for improvements!”

The history of the Hotel abba Fonseca building is quite interesting. The basic core of the building dates to the 16th century and the building is rented from the church and the interior has been modernized. The location is great.

The history of the Hotel abba Fonseca building is quite interesting. The basic core of the building dates to the 16th century and the building is rented from the church and the interior has been modernized. The location is great. The room had a weird (not in a good way) small when we checked in and we ended up sleeping with the window open to try to get fresh air in the room. Otherwise, the room was clean. Strangely, the only soap provided was the bath gel, so we had to climb into the tub anytime we wanted to get soap to wash our hands. The breakfast buffet area was very crowded and the selections only so-so (bacon and mushrooms were cold).
