On Plaza de San Diego, facing the university

El Bedel is at number 8 Plaza de San Diego, the square with the Plateresque façade of the University of Alcalá: the bedel was the employee who kept order in the classrooms, and the name is no accident. It is the hotel closest to the door of the guided university visit, and is two minutes' walk from Plaza de Cervantes and Calle Mayor. The whole old town can be covered on foot from here.

The premium double, onto the square

The room the hotel highlights is the premium double, with a double bed or twin beds, which faces Plaza de San Diego and the university; the hotel describes it as central but quiet.
