Soho Boutique Castillo de Santa Catalina Adults Recommended

We loved this hotel. The atmosphere is amazing and peaceful and what a view. The only downside is that the dinner was so amazing that we expected the same level of flavours and service at breakfast but that was a bit disappointing. We expected more but I do have to mention the amazing dinner again. It was delicious! We would go here again if available!

As solutes wonderful stay. The room was huge and good value, to include breakfast. Food menu is very expensive and very small - snack menu would be ideal. We ended up ordering food locally to hotel for food by pool. Breakfast was great, lots of variety and good value. The pastries were so fresh. Nice vibe to hotel, robes provided and felt comfortable to sit in courtyard having breakfast in it. Gardens and grounds are well maintained and the old Castillo is just wonderful. Staff are really nice, especially the concierge and the cleaning staff, as were the waiters etc. We had a nice room - only downsides were it was right above the reception area, the walk in shower the water leaked all over the bathroom and the air con is quite dated / had a funny smell to it - but very little to complain about! Pool is more of a dip pool but with incredible views. Salted and very clean. However, pool area is laid with Astro turf artificial grass and just not up to the rest of the hotels standard. Hotel is more for adults, so I wouldn’t go with kids - very tranquil and quiet -Overall our stay was absolutely excellent and will return for sure.

The location and atmosphere of this hotel are truly beautiful—if you're into historic places, this former castle turned boutique hotel is a great choice. However, keep in mind that despite having only 24 rooms, it’s not exactly peaceful. We stayed for just two nights, and unfortunately, our neighbor seemed unfamiliar with the concept of quietly closing doors. Every time they left the room, we were jolted awake. Breakfast is not a buffet—they serve it at the table. On our first morning, it was extremely busy, and we had to wait quite a while for everything, even a simple glass of water required multiple requests due to how overwhelmed the staff was. What surprised me was that after all the waiting, they brought just a small glass with ice—barely a quarter full—instead of a full bottle of water. I didn’t say anything because the staff seemed clearly overwhelmed. There was also quite a bit of noise early in the morning, which we later found out was due to the hotel renting out best of the garden space for a private lunch. Even when we returned at night, the event was still ongoing. So despite the beautiful views and charming open areas, don’t count on having them to yourself—apparently, events and weddings are regularly hosted here. That might also explain why the price is relatively low for a 5-star property—there’s limited privacy and quiet for guests staying in the 24 rooms. That said, the staff were incredibly polite and professional throughout our stay.
