6/10
I had very high hopes for the Palacio having stayed in similar buildings in Spain before. Sadly this was not a great experience. We arrived on a train from Seville , having previously advised the Palacio of our arrival time 9pm, then messaged again when the train was an hour late. Both messages were responded to saying this was fine. However when we finally arrived, the building was completely closed. Ringing and knocking did not get a response neither did a phone call. An email finally got a response to say my brother will let you in. Which after 10 minutes happened, rather grumpily on both sides.
The room was good, echoes of history clear. But all showing their age. Dusty and faded. The bathroom shutters didn’t close and the shower curtain around the claw foot bath barely covered 1/4 of the bath meaning we showered exposed to the outside view and water went all over floor with every wash and trickled into bedroom. We saw no staff for all 3 days apart from a cleaner. On our final evening we returned to find scaffolding outside our 2nd floor windows then woke the next morning to find a man painting the window frame and walls directly outside our room. No amount of gesticulating dissuaded him and as we were leaving that morning, shutters wouldn’t move and curtain was inadequate, we were forced to shower in full view of the painter ! Very upsetting. Still no staff anywhere to be found so we left with no opportunity to resolve any issues. Felt thoroughly underwhelmed
