Hotel Don Carmelo

I arrived very early and the bags were held for me in a locked storage room until I formally checked in in the evening. They said check in was from 13:00 but I returned much later. The hotel is very close to the railway station outside the old walls for which Avila is famous. Buses are cheap at €1 and the #1 and a few others stop close by that can take you to or frommthe old walled city. But it is only a 15 minute walk away. The hotel is simple evidenced by the traditional key on a heavy knob. This can be left behind. The room and the bathroom are fine but not luxurious. The towels are quite old though. There is a cafeteria attached open to the hotel and the street. Food and drinks can be brought form the cafeteria to the lounge / TV room. Thus the hotel is fine and good value for money.
