Condesa de Chinchón

This hotel is wonderful if looking for a taste of Spain. Really comfortable rooms, a beautiful courtyard, extensive range of foods for breakfast, efficient free Wi-fi, parking accessed through a gate at the back of the property (€10). It’s welcoming, clean, and well-run, in a beautiful traditional town where barricades are built along the street and the fascinating Plaza Major is transformed into a bull ring for fiesta days. Lots of restaurants within easy walking distance. A superb find!

The ride around Madrid was wet, with thunder. Some confusing roads until getting on the N400 via Arand. Nice ride into the centre, beautiful tree lined roads to Chinchon. Easy to find the Hotel and parking garage, Friendly check in. Old style Hotel. Room was fine. No evening meal, but a very cheap bar opposite. There are loads of places to eat in the Plaza Major, but treble the price! The Plaza is very beautiful. Breakfast was very good indeed, much better than anticipated. Recommended.

We have stayed lots of times in Chinchon. It is a very convenient place to go to visit Madrid, Aranjuez is close, and Chinchon itself is interesting and worth a visit. This hotel is really a hidden gem. Its position is slightly off centre (in contrast to the Parador) but given the size of Chinchon that really isn't a problem. It is much smaller than the Parador, but every bit as good - the rooms are large, and the services provided (but no dinner) very good. Breakfast was very good, with a charming patio to sit in. Overall and excellent choice.

The location is perfect, just across from the parador and two minutes from the main plaza. The check in was very smooth and we had a nice ground floor room which overlooked the pretty court yard (room 108). Room had two comfortable beds and good bathroom facilities. TV no English channels but we are in Spain so not unexpected. Very quiet room, has air conditioning and a safe. Parking is extra but I believe if you book direct this will be included. It is very secure so worth the money if you are worried, parking on the street is limited, especially during festival time. We went in August during the festival so the plaza was taken up with a bullring, but could still see how pretty it was. The tavernas and restaurants close for siesta and they all wanted to be paid in cash (just so you are aware). Our only issue was that we wanted a night cap in the court yard at the end of our day but it was not open, we went to the bar opposite but that was a bit too noisy for us, so therefore just a very good review, otherwise it would have been faultless. Highly recommend this for a visit to this beautiful town.
