“site under construction, large digger at our entrance,”

Reviewed 28 July 2010

Stayed one night at Cuevas Pedro Antonio, the area we were in was in poor repair and we had a very large digger parked at our entrance, not attractive. Reception staff spoke good english, but it is a resort were you have to pay deposits for everything, tv control, swim towel etc etc and no smiles. Would not recommend this hotel, however the city of Guadix is lovely we had a fantastic meal out (despite been told by reception we would not fins any food bar in the hotels restaurant). In addition the cave smelt very very stuffy, possibly as it had not been stayed in for a while but would expect given we pre booked that the rooms would be aired before arrival.

“Fun place much better than expected”

Reviewed 26 June 2010

Staying in a cave is a fun experience although the rooms are so nice that you hardly realize that you're in a cliff. We stayed two nights in Cave 16, one of their largest. It has two bedrooms, sitting room with fireplace, small kitchen, and modern bathroom reached through a short tunnel. Furniture plentiful and comfortable except not much closet space or drawers. Lighting very good, much better than in most hotels. Four electric heaters were more than enough. Nicely decorated, clean , cute, comfortable. Reception friendly. It really is at least a solid three star but you get no service during the day, no beds made or clean towels, etc. Restaurant is good although far from elegant. Only drawback is that you can't get breakfast before 9 AM and that was said to be only continental - but you have a kitchen so you can rustle up your own with the help of a supermercado a km or so away.

Being next to the freeway, there is some outside noise but inside the room it was very quiet. Parking is free and in front of your cave.

“Cave Hotels, Guadix, Spain”

Reviewed 23 June 2010

The cave hotels in Guadix were built into the rock, with a cliff hanging over the top.
The hotel had a great restaurant, and a great pool.
The lady at the reception spoke very good English.
Some of the hotel rooms, (including our's) smelt a lot like cigarette smoke.
It was right next to the freeway, so it was noisy at night.
Because it was in a cave, it felt weird when I first got there, but I got used to it.

“Graet to be a cave woman!”

Reviewed 4 February 2009

What a great place to stay! Warm welcome and staff really friendly and helpful through out.
Cave really spot on, from comfy beds to raoring log fire. Just the place for truly living the cave woman life with all mod coms (Shower powerful and hot.)

Liked — True cae experience
Disliked — Bit far out of town

“Great experience!”

Reviewed 17 September 2008

A fantastic place to stay to experience the cave dwellings! Reception staff were friendly, and the restaurant itself serves delicious local food. Try the leg of lamb!
We only stayed for a night, and it was perfect - the caves are close to a motorway, but when you are inside this is not a problem, so don't let it put you off a place I'd recommend to others and stay at again myself!
