Hotel Cardenal Ram

The Cardenal Ram is on Costera de la Suñer, at the start of the arcaded street of Blasco de Alagón, in the centre of Morella's old town. It is a three-star rural hotel in a stone mansion, completely renovated in 2013, with 16 rooms and 32 beds, and it opens all year. It does not belong to any chain.

Sixteen doubles, all facing the street

All the rooms are doubles and all face outwards: they look onto the cobbled streets and the arcades. Six have Morella decoration, with modern and colourful touches, and the rest damask fabrics with a classic air. Each has a full bathroom with hairdryer, television, free wifi and minibar. There are three categories: the double, the double with views and the Cardenal room, the largest, with windows more than two hundred years old looking onto the arcades of the historic centre. The double has space for an extra bed for a third person. Smoking in the rooms is forbidden, with fines of €50 to €500.

Restaurant, bicycles and scooter

The hotel restaurant cooks Morella dishes with local produce and has a set menu Monday to Friday, another for Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, a Cardenal Ram menu, the Castelló Ruta del Sabor menu in autumn and a children's menu; prices change on public holidays, so ask at reception. The hotel rents an electric mountain bike, the Powerfly 4, for rides in the surroundings, and an electric scooter for older people or those with reduced mobility, useful in a town of slopes. There is also a treatment room for facials, body treatments and massages, which can also be done in your room. Everything is booked on 964 16 00 46 or at reception.

Accessibility and pets

It has a lift and adapted rooms and bathrooms, although the main door is not at street level: tell them when booking if anyone uses a wheelchair. Pets are not admitted.

Arriving by car and parking

To arrive by car, the address is Calle Blasco de Alagón 39. Inside the wall only residents park; you can drive in to unload luggage and then leave the car in the Paseo Jaume I car park, the blue zone outside the walls, which from the fourth day is free if you show the tickets from the previous three.

How to book

Book through the engine on their website or by writing to [email protected] with the dates and the board you want. Bookings with a Bono Viaje voucher cannot be made by phone or with the code on the website, and are cancelled free up to seven days before. The hotel warns of fake WhatsApp messages pretending to be from it to ask for bank details: use only its official channels.

From the door you are a few steps from the arcaded street and the basilica. For dinner out, Casa Roque is at the Cinco Esquinas, a few steps away.
