3.9 / 5 3.9 / 5 Anonymous on 24/10/2009 (Family with older children)

An attractive location in an attractive town for an overnight break in our journey.

There is no overnight parking allowed in front of the hotel. Finding the way to drive from the hotel to an overnight car park was difficult, and findng the way when driving back to the hotel in the morning was even more difficult. We should have asked for a marked-up map to augmented the verbal instructions.

Overall: Avila town lost its water supply for a time in the morning.  (108571233)

The quality and location of the hotel in this old city is excellent.

The head waiter at breakfast did nothing other than to take your room number. It would have been so much better if he had provided customers with fresh tea or coffee, rather than leave them to get poor quality tea or coffee out of a machine. Otherwise the breakfast was excellent.

Overall: Very good - other than for the breakfast service.  (108074416)

Air conditioning was broken, but no one told us when we checked in. When I realized and pointed it out to the staff, they said first there was "a little air conditioning" in the hotel. When i complained that they should have informed us of this, they then changed the story to say I must have set the thermostate wrong. A man came to my room and reset to a high temp. He said it was not the temperature but the pressure. There is nothing I hate more than being lied to, other than a lie that insults my intelligence. They should be honest. It is a four star hotel with the worst level of service.

Overall: I would NEVER stary there again and would tell anyone to avoid the place like the plague! Worst hotel I stayed.  (108057742)

Why do we publish ratings from Active Hotels?

Our rating system is designed to give you the confidence to find and book the hotel that best suits your needs. We've worked hard to create a fair and impartial process to collect our ratings so you can always be assured of a great hotel experience.

How do I add a rating?

Unlike other sites that offer ratings, our rating process is by invitation only. This ensures that 100% of the ratings you see on our site come from guests that have booked online with us and stayed at the hotel in question.

All our ratings are created by guests who have booked through Active Hotels (or its sister sites) and completed their stay over the last year. We don't edit, alter or adjust the ratings so you can be sure of unbiased opinions.

How do you manage to collect so many ratings?

48 hours after departure from your accommodation booked through Active Hotels or any of our sister sites, you may be invited to complete a guest review questionnaire. This means that, for most hotels, we're able to post more than 1 guest rating every single week. We currently display over 70,000 ratings and we add hundreds of scores from real guests every day.
