We chose this property as best location for Caminito del Rey trail. Staff was very helpful and friendly. We had the "Movie" room which was very original although not very recommended for people that do not wish to go up&down the stairs but cool touch. The restaurant was very good which plenty of choices and staff on top of everything. I can see this is also a great place to stay in the summer with the pool and the amazing views!

We had a room with a view. They look bigger on the pictures, than in reality. The stairs to the top floor is very steep and narrow. The breakfast is served and needs a bit longer than a buffet. Access to the Caminito del Rey is great. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Brilliant stay during our visit to Caminito Del Rey. Hotel is situated right next to the train station and just a 5/10 minute walk away from the South entrance. Room was spacious and clean, only downside was that the air was very dry due to the AC. Lovely pool area with sunbeds overlooking the hills. Outside restaurant area had a fantastic view and would definitely recommend eating there. We did for both nights of our stay and had a great mix of traditional food and drink. Great value for money for a stay during the off season.

We loved the location just next to the bus stop for Caminito (we slept overnight and got into the first group for hike the next morning). The room was clean and tidy, just a bit unusually designed (strange looking dining spoons, forks and knives fixed to the ceiling, the bathroom/toilet doors are totally transparent that can be difficult for some guests that are not close family, friends for example). The food was average, not superbe. Breakfast was better than dinner. Quite alot flies in the hall and breakfast area- but not in room).

Fab location, and hotel got our Caminito tickets for us. Reception staff lovely. Restaurant a bit understaffed. Terrace beautiful at night. Room was quirky, with steep spiral stairs to bed area. Pool area very nice with lots of sunbeds, and frear views again. Would definitely return.
Bedroom reached by steep stairs, but stunning views.
Gorgeous outside terrace.

Overall, one of the few hotels in the area if you’re looking to explore Caminito del Rey, and probably one of the nicer ones. The views were nice, but there is some electric factory directly across the river, which was a bit of an unexpected eye sore. We had a good recommendation from the hotel check in to explore some nearby trails, I’m still not sure if that was better or worse (we only had time for one) than doing the traditional Caminito del Rey paid/bridge walk... but we enjoyed it. I will say that the restaurant experience wasn’t great. The waitress was really rude and I think misunderstood that we had a reservation already (for 9pm) and were simply trying to come at 8:30. She seated us but wouldn’t let us sit in the waterfront seat that was “reserved” for someone else (pretty positive it was for us). We stayed there until close and no one ever came to that table. The food was okay. The pool was nice/cool/with amazing/relaxing views. The room itself was interesting/eccentric and clean.

Super helpful staff, spacious rooms
We chose La Garganta primarily because they manage Caminito del Ray tickets, which practically means they arranged admission for us, when they were sold out on official website of Caminito. They did it seamlessly! Moreover hotel has nice swimming pools, clean and spacious rooms, free parking. Beware - stairs to the 1st floor in the room are quite steep and noisy (metal).

Amazing hotel in a very scenic corner of the world with wonderful staff. The location of this hotel (a few steps from the El Chorro train station and the bus stop for Caminito del Rey) is perfect. We arrived on the 10.15am train from Seville which was a bit a too early for check-in but the hotel staff were happy to store our luggage for us in the meantime. The hotel facilities are great, the room and bed are comfortable with nice little touches. We stayed in the duplex with views and the spiral staircase heading up to the bedroom is fairly narrow but nothing we couldn't manage. There was no mobile reception in the area as you could imagine but the hotel WiFi was blazing fast and we had no connectivity issues during our stay. The views are an absolute showstopper, which we could enjoy from our room as well as the restaurant and terrace. We found the food delicious and reasonably priced; dinner on the terrace was a great way to cap off the evening after spending the whole day at the Caminito. The only thing better than the hotel are the staff members: the ones we met were wonderfully helpful, warm and polite, including the front desk as well as restaurant staff. We'd love to be back again.

Nice Location in El Chorro
We really enjoyed this hotel. The location is remote and lovely, with scenic overlooks near hiking and a national park. Our room was cute with a spiral staircase and the bed was super comfortable. The only thing that didn’t make our stay as enjoyable is that there was a light smell of sewer gas at times coming from our bathroom and we had to sleep with the door closed. It wasn’t a deal breaker!

A great place to stay if you are doing the camiIto
Stayed the night before we did the caminito del Rey. Reception staff were polite friendly helpful and generally couldn’t do enough to help us. Had lunch but it turned out badly after waiting 1 hour for our food we discovered our order hadn’t been made. But to be fair the lovely receptionist came to speak to us and we ended up not having to pay. Dinner was excellent as was breakfast. The pool was also a great bonus in the heat.

Excellent Hotel, with added touches, which made it a unique stay experience. The rooms were comfortable. I decided to stay an extra night because it was so good. Really a Great Location - right next to El Chorro Train Station and also the bus from El Chorro to the start of the Caminito del Rey. Staff were excellent, which makes it an ideal location for people to stay before or after walking the Caminito del Rey. Patri in resturant was very helpful and was always pleasent and welcomed you with a smile. Reception staff were also excellent.

A little gem!
We stayed here after watching the second stage of La Vuelta. The hotel is really easy to find. The pool area although not huge has plenty of sun beds and umbrellas and is very clean. It is very welcome as it does get very hot inland. Our room had 2 bedrooms with kitchenette, seating and dining areas. The bathroom had plenty of toiletries and towels available and the whole thing was spotlessly clean. A nice surprise was the private terrace area with table, chairs and a substantial umbrella. We ate in the restaurant and the meal was very good as was our breakfast. Would definitely recommend it!
