Guest Reviews
Location
While it is close to the Camino, the hotel is slightly distanced from the town center, which can be a downside for guests seeking proximity to local amenities. However, for those prioritizing a quiet, restful night away from the bustling town, it is perfect. The location does mean some noise from the surroundings, particularly from the truck parking area, but this is offset by the hotel's convenience and catering services.
Clean and functional, Hotel Castillo El Burgo is particularly well-suited for a night of pilgrimage. Additionally, its advantageous location provides a suitable stop from Castilla y León to Galicia, La Rioja, Aragón or Catalonia. For Camino travelers, the hotel’s restaurant adds an excellent bonus, enhancing the overall convenience of the stay.
Breakfast
However, there are a few points of contention. Some guests felt that the breakfast was disappointing or not to their taste with complaints about the absence of salty foods before eight o'clock and a limited selection predominantly consisting of industrial pastries. Others found the breakfast to be excessively expensive with some guests caught off guard by the additional charge, thinking it would be cheaper. The issue of crowding during breakfast hours also posed a problem for some guests, making it difficult to get served promptly.
Despite these issues, the option of having both dinner and breakfast in the hotel restaurant received positive commentary, described as lovely by those who dined there. For those who prioritize an early start and convenient mealtimes, Hotel Castillo El Burgo's breakfast offerings may still hit the mark.
