2 Stars Hotels in Caminito del Rey, Ardales from CA $87

"We stayed at Del Cielo Azul in February, just after the storms had passed through Portugal and Spain. The day we arrived was still a bit stormy, but the next morning the sky was beautifully blue exactly living up to the name. It was a little too cold to use the pool at that time of year, but the setting was still lovely and peaceful. The hotel feels like an old house that has been thoughtfully converted into a small guesthouse. It has a lot of personality and charm — definitely not a generic or chain-style hotel. It’s super quiet, which we really appreciated. The host was incredibly kind and helpful, giving us directions and recommendations for the area, especially for hiking Caminito del Rey, which was one of the main reasons for our visit. The bathroom takes a little time for the hot water to fully heat up, but once it does, the shower is very good and comfortable. The only small improvement I would suggest is providing a bit more shampoo and shower gel the portions were quite small. Breakfast was okay, but dinner was surprisingly excellent. I had the chicken and it was genuinely delicious. There’s also a dog and a cat on the property, they don’t interfere at all, just add to the character of the place. Parking is available at the back of the property, which was convenient. Overall, it’s a charming, quiet, personality-filled stay especially ideal if you’re visiting for hiking in the area."

"Friendly, kind staff. Spotlessly clean room, great location. "

"A two night stop over to undertake some business and catch up with some old friends. The Hotel itself was a pleasure and very comfortable with welcoming staff. To arrive by car, be wary of the narrow (occasionally very narrow) streets and you will need to park off site, about a 5-to-10-minute walk away, depending on how fit you are. Best to drop off any luggage first. There is an excellent restaurant right next door called the Ca n'Amatolox, run by Chef Sergi, who very accommodating despite there only being 1 or 2 of us there. Best to book in advance as he has other ventures, but his food was amazing."
