Salas Castle Hotels in Picos de Europa, Spain

Great decor, very friendly staff, great food, great location.

Possibly one of the worst stays I've ever had in Spain. Absolutely no soundproofing in the rooms means you can hear everything from the adjoing rooms and noisy cleaning staff slamming doors almost continually outside from 6am on (and we are not exaggerating here). Weekend breakfast served only till 10:30am. Mini bar not stocked with anything and no room service menu. Additionally, rooms have no fan or air conditioning and are very stuffy, even with cool outdoor temperatures and the window open. When we brought all these issues up with the hotel staff the only explanation offered was that it wasn't a mini bar but a refrigerator, (hastily said to us by the person who we assume to be the manager who then walked away without saying everything further). Other hotel staff simply repeated the cost rather than addressing the issue. We are native Spanish speakers so there was no language barrier. This is not a 4 start property so to avoid disappointment and undoubted annoyance/sleep disturbance stay somewhere else. There are plenty of other local hotels actually willing to provide comfort and not inconvenience with a surly attitude.
