Fodor's Expert Review Hospedería del Real Monasterio

Pl. Juan Carlos I, Guadalupe, Extremadura, 10140, Spain Fodor's Choice

An excellent and considerably cheaper alternative to the town parador, this inn was built around the 16th-century Gothic cloister of the monastery itself. The cloister's courtyard is also an outdoor café, open May through September to guests and non-guests alike. The simple, traditional rooms with wood-beam ceilings are handsome and comfortable. 

PROS

  • guests get free monastery admission
  • magical surroundings for a pittance
  • helpful staff

CONS

  • church bells chime around the clock
  • subpar food in the restaurant
  • uncomfortable beds
