Hotels near Museo Ciencias Naturales IES Cardenal López de Mendoza, Burgos

We spent one night at this hotel and occupied two adjoining premium rooms. I don't think we will return to this hotel the next time we visit Burgos. Let's start with the positive points: the staff, the location, the breakfast, the characteristic perfume in the lobby. As for the disappointing/surprising points: A global advanced state of wear and tear (knocks, marks, stains), a surprisingly noisy lift with a warped cabin, a postage stamp-sized television, a sloping washbasin where water stagnates, a composite bathtub that makes worrying cracking noises, missing soap, the air temperature in the corridors is far too high... The main fault remains the capacity of the car park which is ridiculous. The hotel does not reserve the parking spaces, which allows it by refusing to cancel rooms after 6pm not to lose clients who would not be lucky enough to arrive early enough to have a space in the garage located in the basement. we arrived at 8pm and this was our case. The most surprising thing was the impossibility to reach the reception by phone on the two numbers provided. About ten calls made by two different phones during more than an hour were all picked up automatically, nobody answered but we could hear the background noise of the reception. When we arrived, the reception noticed the problem, expressed its surprise but did nothing to correct the problem at the time. Strange... We definitely expect more from a 4 stars hotel.

Ines and Jenny at the front desk handled multiple issues and requests with a high-level of professionalism and courtesy. Articulate and efficient, they merit special mention as well as the very kind young man who checked me in. These exceptional professionals are the reason I am rating this hotel a 5 out of 5. -John Stubbs, Rm 111, Apr 13-15

This is quite a quirky hotel, very different in many aspects. Especially the decor was unexpected. However, our room was great with a decent size bath and big windows which were nice. It was also quiet although it faced the street. One thing that bothered us in the room was a strange security light that, in the dark, was really bright. The breakfast was so-so. That I wouldn't recommend. The best part was the service, though. The man at the reception was very kind and professional!

This hotel has a great staff and quite helpful. The room is nice but the bathroom is extremely small and hard to use. Thus is the biggest issue with the place. Good value for your money if you’re looking at a clean place. I would stay again. About 1 km from the church.

My partner and I are staying at Hotel Rice Reyes Católico in a group booking as part of an arts festival in beautiful Burgos, Spain. We have been in Burgos 17 times (but who’s counting?), so we know the town and the hotels. When we arrived at the hotel and went to our room, it was stuffy. We turned on the air conditioning, but nothing happened. No cool air came out of the vents. We left, had dinner, and returned around 11 p.m. Still no air. We asked the night desk clerk about the AC. He said, “Do you have a fan?” We said that we didn’t, but when we entered our room, we saw that a fan had been brought to the room. This fan was our air conditioning. In Spain. In July. On day four of our stay, the fan is still our AC, despite repeated requests to the front disk to have the AC fixed. The response is always, “We hope that the AC will be fixed today.” Hopes and prayers, y’all. Our room, upgraded from a basic domicile, is barely large enough for two people and their luggage. The closet space is minimal, and you can’t hang a suit jacket without it touching the.bottom of the closet. This is a dorm room or a youth hostel, not a hotel. Furthermore, our upgraded room is on the back of the hotel, with a view of a concrete wall. Charming… And then there’s the smell of sewerage that permeates not only our room, but the rooms of our colleagues. Funky and nasty, to say the least. The breakfasts are barely adequate. The soggy tortilla, the most typical dish in Spain, is inedible. Really? If you are planning to visit Burgos, one of the preeminent smaller towns in Spain, with the most impressive cathedral in the country, please do yourself a favor and don’t stay at this sinkhole of a hotel. There are plenty of better affordable options. The hotel has the nerve to call itself a four-star operation. It’s a two-star hotel at best, and given our experience, it’s actually a one-star establishment. Avoid at all costs.

This hotel is located very well, the opposite room is very poorly soundproofed, it ignores the main street and all sounds can be heard, the hotel is 4*, very neglected, the whole hotel now needs reform, maintenance leaves many shortcomings, air conditioning breaks out On the first day, throwing water on the floor, the solution, in case our feet slipped and the air was damaged, so to me, it was as if it were 2* towels on the hotel floor, I will not repeat.

Excellent service, very helpful and friendly. The room was cozy, with parking spaces close to the site. On foot you will still have to walk a few minutes but by car, in five minutes you will be in the city center. Once again, thank you to all the staff, they are the highlight of the hotel.
