Hotel Rector

The house

A boutique hotel of fourteen spacious rooms in a 1930 house on Paseo del Rector Esperabé, the ring road that runs down beside the wall towards the Tormes. The house mixes mahogany furniture, marble bathrooms and stained glass in the lounge. The Casa Lis, the cathedrals and the Roman Bridge are a few minutes on foot, and the Plaza Mayor and the University a slightly longer walk.

The rooms

There are six types:

• Double and superior double. Mahogany furniture, marble bathroom, bathrobe and slippers, air conditioning, large Smart TV, wifi, complimentary water and a coffee machine with kettle.
• Interior junior suite. Two double beds and a large living room, marble bathroom with separate bath and shower, two Smart TVs and individual climate control. It faces the inner courtyard and is quiet.
• Deluxe suite. With an interior living room, a large marble bathroom with separate bath and shower and two televisions.
• Family. Two full doubles with two bathrooms, joined by a private corridor, for up to five people.
• Deluxe single. 160 cm bed, marble bathroom with bath and shower and Bulgari products, also facing the courtyard.

Practical details

What makes it useful if you arrive by car is its private garage for guests, rare in the centre: you enter directly into the hotel lobby and there are several charging points for electric cars, up to 22 kW. The website does not state its price. Breakfast is a buffet in the dining room, there is room service with its own menu, a café and lounges for guests only, and a small equipped gym.

Who it suits

For couples looking for a small, quiet hotel, and for families of up to five who want two bedrooms and two bathrooms without booking two rooms. Thanks to its position next to the wall, it is a good base for exploring the south of the old town on foot and walking down to the river.
