Mengibar Vacations from $1,050

What a charming place. The location is perfect inside of the ruins, close to main plaza. Free and 24hr parking. The price incredible. For being in the middle of town, it was not loud and the rooms were dark in the morning so you can sleep in. Definitely adds to feeling you are back into the 16th Century.

Good location close to bus / train station and ideal for exploring Jaen. Rooftop air conditioned pool great and staff very welcoming!

Bath Tub was clogged and overall rundown

This was an unusual place to stay overnight on our way further South in Spain. The location was accurately given by both Google Maps and Waze. You have to trust them as the approach looks a bit unlikely as you get nearer. May be tricky if arriving in the dark. We were a bit nervous about the entry process using links on our phones but it was all very easy in practice. Just be sure to have mobile signal & power in your battery. We had the place to ourselves so it felt like staying in a huge Airbnb. The kitchen facilities were very useful. One big piece of advice; there are no restaurants or food shops in the near vicinity so I’d suggest doing a food shop before arrival if you don’t want to drive again later. There’s a large Carrefour about 5 mins drive away.
