Hotel Don Felipe

Centrally located with easy access to landmarks, the accommodation impresses with fresh, varied breakfast and friendly staff. Guests love the comfortable, clean rooms with beautiful views.

Cons There were no boxes of facial tissues in the room, so I asked for some. I was told they don’t provide it. There was no hair conditioner either & none was provided. I have long hair- hair conditioner is not a luxury but a necessity & something I expect in a hotel of this caliber. Both detracted from the experience. It makes the hotel sound cheap & they both don’t cost much. Do it! Buffet breakfast at 9Euro PP was continental & just fair. The male desk clerk was the rudest desk clerk I have ever encountered. There is no way he should be dealing with guests. He obviously did not like dealing with tourists. He was much better to me when I started speaking in Spanish. Maybe he doesn’t like non-Spanish speaking guests? I am not fluent in Spanish so that was why I spoke in English at first. We had just gotten to Spain, was jet lagged & my Spanish was rusty. After that encounter, I just tried to speak Spanish everywhere. Pros Really large nicely appointed room with a view of the castle. We had a jacuzzi in a separate room next to the bathroom. We also had a couch, desk & table & 2 chairs in the room. Nice outdoor seating area with great views of the castle. Good location- 10 minutes’ walk to the castle & 15 minutes to the aqueduct. Hotel has a strange layout with rooms on various levels & several elevators & hard to figure out until you get used to it. Take a taxi there as you won’t find it on your own. We flew in from overseas & stayed 2 nights. That worked out perfectly to get over jet lag & take our time. But probably one night is enough to see all the sights in Segovia. Conclusion- Segovia is a one & done city so we won’t be returning.
