Hotel Pago Del Olivo

“A modern hotel located just off the highway”

The hotel is located just off the highway ten minutes from Valladolid. There is plenty of free parking on the hotel property. Rooms are rather small but modern and clean. Hotel staff were friendly. My only complaint would be the breakfast, which is not worth the extra charge.

“Let down by the breakfast”

My husband and I have visited this hotel about four times. The location is convenient for Simancas. The rooms are comfortable and clean, staff helpful and friendly.

However, the hotel is let down by the lack of fresh food at breakfast. Everything is in cellophane or plastic pots. There was fresh fruit but that was past it’s sell by date. For such a classy hotel the breakfast is a big let down.

“Very basic stopover”

We arrived at 6 pm on route from the Algarve to Santander for the Portsmouth ferry. The hotel is right next to the main road therefore easy to find and easy to exit to continue our journey.

We arrived at 6 pm on route from the Algarve to Santander for the Portsmouth ferry. The hotel is right next to the main road therefore easy to find and easy to exit to continue our journey. Our room was a twin room, it was clean but very basic. The beds were hard and uncomfortable, so were the pillows. As there are only cafeteria facilities serving limited snacks we asked the receptionist about local restaurants. She gave us a map of Simancas and said that there were a few in the main square about 10 to 15 minutes walk away. Unfortunately every one we went to, and there were several, in the square and down the alleyways, were closed with padlocks & chains across the doors. A couple of bars only were open but not serving food. We returned to the hotel at about 8.45pm and mentioned this to the receptionist who was particularly unhelpful and said, “this is Spain you know, no one eats in Spain until after 9”!! We think that Simancas on a Sunday evening in mid October should be avoided and unfortunately so should the Pago Del Olivo. We were starving by breakfast but the continental offering was very limited. Dishes of bread, cake, cereals & croissants were uncovered and there were flys in the room landing on the food. Overall a very disappointing experience, we would not return.
