Hotel Santa Isabel

I really can't understand why Hotel Santa Isabel is classified as a 2🌟 property; it has so many positive things to commend it! First and foremost is the thoughtfulness of having an English speaking staff. I was somewhat taken aback that this is not the norm in Spain's hospitality industry. I was extremely grateful to be able to communicate any questions I had and receive helpful information in return. Also high on the list is a desirable location: Hotel Santa Isabel is nestled in a junction of two streets not too far from Toledo's famous cathedral. I loved that it was quiet both day and night, as if I was in an oasis of peace, and the rooftop patio was perfect to watch the sunset and then see the sights come alive with the soft glow of lighting after dark. The property itself is very clean and my room was immaculate in every way. There were no chips, old stains, or threadbare linens. The maintenance is top notch. The breakfast service is a lovely addition and the coffee is quite good. Every single staff member I interacted with was friendly, welcoming, and polite. Hotel Santa Isabel is managed with complete competency and professionalism. My quarters were a big part of my choice to extend my stay in Toledo, and I will be happy to visit again during my next trip to Spain. Next time I will be sure to request a room with a view on an upper floor ~ make sure you do so when booking. I highly recommend Hotel Santa Isabel as a choice lodging in Toledo.

“Perfect for exploring Toledo”

We are currently staying at this characteristic hotel with its antiquated tiled and wooden interior; it's certainly perfectly in keeping with its historic surroundings. Angel kindly permitted us to have a room with a balcony. It's great to experience everyday Spanish life but I would say to any light sleepers to be warned that you'll also hear outside voices talking at full volume at anytime of night. (This morning I was woken at 5 a.m by a noisy exchange!) The beds in our room are large singles & super comfortable - been particularly useful as we've had food poisoning from a restaurant in the city; so have had to rest here during most of yesterday! The ensuite is somewhat bijou but a clever use of space 😉 As other reviews have mentioned, the roof top terrace is absolutely marvellous. It has all round vistas and is great to experience both day & night. There is also a pleasant view some 10 mins walk away, overlooking the river & Jewish quarter etc at the 'Plaza de Conde' - where the bus stop is. As for breakfast; we're yet to experience that this morning!

“Lovely place”

Lovely hotel at a fantastic price. Great location in the old town. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was nice - the croissant was enormous!! Roof top terrace was a spectacular place to sit and sip a beer, which could be bought from reception.

We stayed five nights at the hotel, (with 4 days for sightseeing) and were very pleased with how clean the room was - always our priority. The bathroom was fine with a good shower and also perfectly clean. We had the room made up each day. I would maybe recommend upgrading to a room with a view or balcony as our room overlooked the courtyard and anyone opposite or walking along the hallway could see into our room so it was necessary to keep the shutters closed. However, the weather was hot so it kept the room cool. The aircon was very good. No fridge or safe but not a problem. There is a small grocery store near the hotel where we could get water and other cold drinks. The hotel is very central and convenient to see all the "sights". As we were there for several days, we walked to the viewing point via a medieval bridge and historic gate - approx 5 miles there and back. Also there is a nice walk following the Ecological River path, as well as a walk around the perimeter of Toledo following the City Walls, and crossing another medieval bridge and historic gates. We also took the train to Madrid and visited the Cathedral and the Royal Palace. Entry is half price for people over 65. The only downside was the breakfast, which was very limited in choice, and was somewhat repetitive as we were there for 5 days. Unfortunately no muesli or fruit salad and the croissant was huge and very sweet. Fresh orange juice was the only healthy thing on offer.
