Hotel Alfonso VIII, hotel in Santa Elena

Located by the Despeñaperros Nature Reserve, this sober style Andalusian hotel offers pleasant mountain views and an exquisite à la carte restaurant.

Really friendly staff. Clean but quirky rooms. Great value for money and very good rustical breakfast (Pan con Tomate, fresh orange juice, coffee, freshly sliced jamon and a local pastry). This will be my go to spot when you need to sleep after a long drive.

Hotel Casa Marchena, hotel in Santa Elena

Offering rooms with air conditioning and free Wi-Fi, this hotel is 2 minutes’ walk from the town center. There is a cafeteria, a restaurant and a nightclub.

Great no-frills hotel. I stayed there for several days while looking for an apartment to rent in the village. All the staff I spoke with were super nice and friendly, particularly the woman who cleans the rooms. The beds were comfortable. I didn't try the restaurant (yet) but the menu was enticing for sure. Close walk to a park with great sunset views, and could continue up the hill to the castle when not in a heat wave.

    A historic site of a battle centuries ago.

    A historic site of a battle centuries ago. The deep gorge is highly defensible and a dramatic faulted landscape split in two by the gorge full of wild life. Take the old road down through the gorge as the autovia now ignores it as it skims above along its dramatic viaduct and tunnels. Leaving the valley a lovely place to stroll and picnic. Santa Elena on the hilltop was once bustling with merchant traffic and roadside inns. Now a sleepy backwater but great starting out point for mountain and gorge rambles. Great meals in the hotel and a nearby bar/restaurant. Great stopover southwards after boring Castillian meseta. Or heading north, a perfect place to pause for a night and one last glimpse at Andalucia.

    The hotel is a typical Spanish property very traditional. The room was basic but clean with air-condioning, TV, a good supply of hot water and nice touches such as gift packs for our 2 dogs and nice bathroom packs for us. The double bed was as advertised, with fresh white linen. For the price we paid we felt that we had very good value. The Restaurant has an excellent menu using local produce not too expensive. Would highly recommend. The view from the restaurant terrace is stunning. We will stay again if passing.

    This was a good stopover hotel for us. Big rooms so plenty of room for us and the dogs, two big Labradors! . Room was a bit old fashioned but spotlessly clean . Breakfast was very simple but OK for us as not big breakfast people so a coffee and tostada was enough to get us on our way. Good value for money hotel very close to the motorway so perfect location was a stopover on our way home. Best of all the staff were great and very helpful.

    Really good value for money. We had a really good sized bedroom with a large bathroom both with nice views. Clean and warm, a simple breakfast that met our needs, conveniently situated off the A-4. Restaurant serving locally sourced food. There was a lovely forest walk for our dog, which started opposite the hotel. Brilliant hotel for a stopover.

    My friends and I had an amazing time at at this beautiful house in Santa Elena. The house was incredibly clean, the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed and the bedrooms and private bathrooms helped everyone feel comfortable. We stayed in February and are planning to return in summer so we can enjoy the outdoor space and pool!

    I have stayed in the hotel overnight for the 2nd time and definitely recommend it to everyone, especially to transit travelers like myself: very good value-for-money, easy parking, easy access from the autoroute, spacious rooms, a perfect respect of all sanitary requirements in the COVID-19 context.

    We were expecting very little by being in the middle of no where. What a surprise! A very large clean bedroom and bathroom. A wonderful dinner and breakfast. Covered parking in front of the hotel. Staff very friendly. Elevator to our room. An area to walk our dog.

    Location, staff, breakfast, grand hotel interior. 63 euros Inc breakfast is exceptional value. 7 euros extra for our dog. Try getting a room in a hotel for that in UK or Ireland.
