10/10 Excellent
"Lovely hotel and setting. Big room overlooking garden. Nice place to eat outside as well as inside. Good breakfast, reasonably priced. Right next to one of the gates which enable you to walk around the walls of Avila. I would say that it isn't necessarily the best hotel for a lie in. We were in 114 and from about 7 am it sounded as though someone was walking 5k in the room above, whilst also constructing furniture. It probably is the nature of the beast. Huge rooms that echo, gorgeous, shiny, tiled floors and due to the historic nature of the property, no sound proofing. Despite the above, I would definitely recommend this property and would happily revisit it."

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Ávila

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Ávila is during January, February, and November, when hotel prices are typically lower. For a fulfilling experience exploring the city's impressive landmarks, cultural sites, and historical attractions, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended. During this time, visitors can enjoy the stunning cathedral, various monuments, fascinating museums, and the ancient castle, as well as the charming atmosphere of small towns and beautiful natural parks. This makes Ávila a destination that offers great value for money for those on a budget.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover potential last-minute deals to Ávila, begin by exploring the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted rates on hotels as your travel date approaches. Activating email alerts or push notifications can keep you informed about flash sales and special promotions, so you're less likely to miss out on savings. Additionally, the Smart Shopping feature within the app serves as a comparison tool, helping you compare hotel prices and amenities. This way, you’ll be promptly notified if rooms become available or prices drop, making it easier to secure a last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in an Ávila hotel. For those seeking distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and potentially better value. When you book with Hotels.com, we’ll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher end, we’ll suggest more affordable dates, which may help you secure a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Staying nearer to key attractions or city centres can offer convenience, but it often comes with increased costs. For more affordable options, you might consider hotels in less central areas or neighbourhoods, striking a balance between price and accessibility to the places you intend to visit. It could be worthwhile to explore independent hotels a bit further out, as they are usually more likely to be affordable and can provide a more authentic experience.
