Hotel Castilla Vieja

The location was good for visiting the town centre, close to shops, restaurants and the tourist attractions. The room was clean, spacious, and the beds were comfortable.

Very spacious and comfortable room in a great location. A few minutes from the Plaza Mayor and the main shopping area. Plus, 10 minutes from the Cathedral. Comfortable bed and a large bathroom with large shower enclosure. Our room was very quiet with views over looking a mainly residential square at the back of the hotel. We opted for the parking option which we found helpful especially as the car was rather loaded down.

The area is very central and there is a good resturant/cafe connected to the hotel that we used for lunch and sometimes dinner.

Palencia is quite a big town but the hotel was easy to find with no one way/narrow streets to contend with. What a fantastic room, I think the bed was the biggest I’ve ever been in, it was so comfortable. Everything was spotlessly clean. The bathroom had a bath with a shower. There was a fridge, a long side table with a chair and a TV which had one English channel, BBC European news. It was a very short walk to the Plaza Major and a wonderful pedestrianised shopping street. We parked at the public car park to the right of the hotel, which had a reasonable maximum fee of €13.50 and we were told it is pretty safe. The hotel has its own underground car park but as we came upon the public one first we stayed there. We paid €76 for the room with our dog.

The hotel location is convenient. It is a short 10 minute or less walk from the train station. It is close to attractions as well as the downtown area. There is a market across the street if you want to grab any snacks. The staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms are very clean. The property is well cared for. We did not eat at the hotel as we were in the area to visit a friend and would eat in town or in neighboring towns. The price was excellent as we were in Spain from the US to visit a friend. We enjoyed the great location of Palencia to see other towns. We definitely want to return another time to explore more. We would highly recommend this hotel!!
