Amazing location, with friendly staff. Clean rooms and delicious food!
Pros:

Accomodations were very nice, very comfortable and clean. Breakfast and dinner was amazing, even if there was not much options to chose from, all delicious and more than you can eat.
Staff was a bit quirky to say it in some way that is not negative, but they were very friendly and attentive!
Everything was very clean, and the location is amazing.

Cons:

Nothing really, was all up to expectations. Nothing really needs improvement. Great value for money.

Un hotel con encanto muy bien ubicado en la naturaleza
Pros:

El desayuno bien pero todo lo dulce era envasado. Sería interesante algún bizcocho casero o un banana bread. Los menús de cena han estado muy bien y el flan de queso espectacular.
La ubicación del hotel formidable y la decoración muy auténtica.

Cons:

El tamaño de la habitación (202) muy justa para 2 personas y el equipaje.
El baño tenía moho.La mampara no cerraba adecuadamente.
Pienso que se podría solucionar raspando y poniendo silicona nueva.

Relax en el paraíso de la Sierra de Cazorla
Pros:

Lo que más me gustó, fue el sitio en sí, muy acogedor, en mitad de la naturaleza, en el cual respiras paz y tranquilidad. Su personal muy agradable y disponible. Te hacen sentir como en casa.

Cons:

Por poner alguna pega, diría que las porciones de comida son escasas, y más, cuando estas en el campo y vas de senderismo. Podrían poner algún acompañamiento a los platos, tipo: verduras, patatas...
