If you want to stay somewhere that is full of character and in a wonderful Spanish hilltop town then this is the palace for you. We were very brave and did drive to the hotel to drop off our luggage and then parked our car in Los Olivos. When we left we just wheeled our cases downhill to collect our... More

Honestly, I was a bit afraid this place might be a little touristy when I saw the connection to Rick Steves and an odd comment about the hotel in Lonely Planet but my fears were instantly assuaged when we walked in the door. We were greeted warmly at the desk and later learned that this hotel is run by a... More

By far Arcos de la Fronterra and the El Convento Hotel were "up there" in an excellent experience during our trip throughout Spain. The town is old with plenty of history but not overrun with tourists like Ronda. The views are breathtaking. The hotel owners and staff were friendly and helpful. The room was #6 with a terrace. I agree... More

If you love views and great atmosphere this is the place. We opted for a room with a balcony and it was worth it. The old town is a great experience. It is perched up on a cliff. What a great place for walking around day and night. DO NOT drive to the hotel. The parking is impossible. Park at... More

Great location and good value for money. The views from the hotel are superb,so make sure that you get a room with a balcony. The only downside is that the floors tiles are marble, so it can get really cold during the winter.

This place probably has the best view of the clif on your own private balcony! We stayed here for three nights. Walkable to serveral little bars, shops and restuarants and huge walk down to the city (more like a good workout). Awesome pation for dinner/glass of wine to enjoy a beautiful sight. defnitely would be back!

If you are intending to visit Arcos then this is the perfect hotel. Leave your car at the sister hotel-Los Olivos- and ask them to order a taxi. The streets of the old quarter are very narrow and the rates for parking and taxis are very reasonable. The views from the bedrooms are stunning as you can watch the sun... More
