Hotel El Cid

I booked a twin room here back in November 2021 for my brother and I to go to the Aragón MotoGP at Motorland. Why? It was the nearest available hotel for the GP weekend that wasn't ridiculously priced. On arrival we found the parking opposite against the wall to be pretty full, but there is a motorcycle parking space for two bikes that we squeezed into. Checking in was easy and we were on the third floor. I had said through booking com that we would want breakfast only on Saturday. Sunday would be too late to ride 45 miles to Motorland. This didn't get communicated .. no problems. We ate the menu of the day Friday. It was very good at €19. Good choice. The rooms are okay for a short stay. Our room was at the front with views over the city wall to the hills opposite. A small balcony was very nice also. Breakfast was good. We hadn't seen the menu and dishes arrived and we appeared to eat them as they came. We later saw at reception there is a QR code for both dinner and breakfast menus. WiFi was free. I would question languages spoken as English wasn't one of them. 😉 Would I stay again? Most definitely. Morella is a superb walked city. The walls and towers are all perfectly kept and look more "real" than at Avila....

Hotel El Cid was easy to find, just inside the wall gate and check in was quick and welcoming. There is apparently lots of free parking on the streets of the village, but you should note that there are only a few spaces in front of the hotel. If you want to find street parking you have to turn left immediately before the hotel, and that street is where you should look for space. As things looked a bit busy on the parking front, when the receptionist offered us a space in the hotel garage for 10Euros we jumped at it, and I have to say that as far as entry space and the actual parking bays are concerned, it’s probably the best hotel garage I’ve ever used. The hotel is probably what you would rate as 2 star, which is reflected in the fact that instead of air conditioning there is a ceiling fan. Whether this becomes a problem later on, only time will tell! Our room on the 4th floor is spacious enough and very nicely furnished and decorated. It has a modern en-suite bathroom And it also has a balcony overlooking the valley below, with a couple of chairs to sit on. Our bed was very comfortable and, with some cool air coming in the partially opened window and the fan on, the lack of air conditioning wasn’t an issue and we slept very well. Breakfast was very nice and was brought to you. It consisted of orange juice, yogurt, melon, pane con tomate, cheeses, ham and, of course cakes (which is still a strange concept for me!). It was all very nice and was taken in a nice dining room overlooking the village walls.What a lovely way to start the day. Morella is a lovely village and Hotel el Cid is a perfect place to stay. Service has been warm and friendly and we would certainly stay here again.

Hotel El Cid is a hotel located in the old town of Morella, a medieval city in the North of Castelló Region, in Spain. We came here to breakfast a coffee with milk and a cake.ñ, which was good. It has a terrace with views to the wall, but when we came here it is too cold, so we went to the inner part. The breakfast was ok.

We stayed for two nights in this great hotel located next to the city wall. The views from the room were stunning!! Although the room was on the small side it was more than adequate for two people. Much of the hotel decor was from IKEA so it was modern and very clean. Parking along the city wall next to the hotel was free and easy to find a space but a bit narrow for larger cars as is often the case in Spain. The bar was pleasant and attracted locals as well as guests and was great value. There was a small outdoor terrace by the road which was south facing and great to sit in the sun. Fabulous location for seeing the sites but this town is built on a mountain so with very narrow streets you will need to walk a lot and it is very steep in places. Such a great place to visit.

Easy to park outside and check in a bit slow but not a problem. Room is spotlessly clean and had everything needed for our stay. Really pleased. We had booked dinner via web site but hotel had not received. Not a problem as not fully booked. Would recommend for a short stay.
