Our take
I recommend Hotel Don Carmelo to travellers who want a practical three-star within walking distance of Ávila's walls, cathedral and Santa Teresa convent. The location opposite San Antonio Park, the shared lounge and the on-site cafeteria cover the essentials, and a score of 8.4 from more than 1,800 reviews shows guests leave satisfied. It sits outside the walls, so if you want to sleep inside the old town, choose a hotel there instead.
- ✓Walk to the city walls in the late afternoon for beautiful sunset views over Ávila
- ✓Take advantage of the shared lounge for a quiet moment with a book or a board game
- ✓Explore the local area around San Antonio Park for a taste of daily life in Ávila
