"I stayed at Diana's Palace for just over 2 weeks for a course. The service and room were adequate. I was given a room on the top floor which had a large rooftop balcony. The breakfast is quite good. I recommend this hotel for anyone staying in Palencia."
"Close to the cathedral. Relatively close to the (very inexpensive) municipal parking lot. Quiet location. The room could be improved with a mini fridge. "
"I was a bit disappointed with the hotel and would describe it average at best. The hotel pool is a nice asset if a little cold. The bathroom wasn't the cleanest and the drains made the whole room smell somewhat if the door was left open. The covers on the beds were also dirty. The staff were friendly. "
"This is a small, family run, boutique hotel in a little village just off the main motorway. Everywhere was spotless and the staff were very helpful. We checked in through an intercom at the main entrance which was unexpected but worked well. Dinner was served in the breakfast/dining area with limited options but it was freshly cooked to order and very good. There were also hot and cold options for breakfast and again, it was all cooked to order. Our dogs were very welcome too. We will definitely...
"the hotel sits in a remarkable historic town in the middle of the Castilian landscape. The staff is very welcoming and helpful and the rooms minimalist but with all commodities.
A very recommendable stay away from the closest highway.."
