Find the Cheap Somontano de Barbastro Hotels

Hotel Maribel is a wonderful hotel in beautiful Alquezar. The breakfast, in particular, is spectacular and plentiful, featuring fresh coffee, just-squeezed orange juice, pastries, fruit, cold cuts and a hot vegetable frittata that was different every day. The building is evidently very old as it befits this medieval town, so do not count on big lobbies, elevators or any of those conveniences, although it is very clean and charming (bordering on the whimsical, but still on this side of good taste). The staff is very friendly, helpful and approachable. The room was also very nice (small, inevitably) and there were flower trays on the beautiful windows. It was a very hot season, and the AC seemed to have a bit of trouble keeping the temperature down, but the town got cooler at night. Be warned that the streets are steep, narrow and cobbled. This means that driving to the door of the hotel is tricky, and you must not ignore the map that the hotel will send you with instructions to find its parking lot. GPS navigation will send you to the hotel through the town, which is not allowed - you must come in from the back and park in the lot as the map indicates (get the code number from the hotel in advance that you need to enter on the security pad). If you have heavy bags that need to be rolled you would be better off driving to the door of the hotel to leave the bags first, but you need to be somewhat adept at stopping and turning around in a sloping, narrow street. Once you find the parking lot of the hotel, however, it’s very easy to drive in and out of town as you like. The hotel itself is in a wonderful spot, close to everything. It does not offer dinner, but there are plenty of options in town. Definitely recommendable.

We stayed 2 nights on bed and breakfast. We paid the regular price directly to the hotel. We chose it as it had a lovely looking restaurant, with an additional terrace and bar.. The good - well appointed shower room, very clean, very good breakfast, position, has underground car park ( 10€ /day) The not so good - the room we had was tiny. Beware as our ‘ comfort double’ was so small you can hardly walk around the bed. This certainly was not ‘comfort’. The hotel offered to move us to a larger, higher category room but we had to pay over 50€ extra, we declined. The 180cm bed was much too large for the room. Our friends had a bigger ‘ comfort’ room, still not very generous, but with a large 200cm bed. Our other main complaint was the bar, terrace and restaurant were all closed during our stay, only reopening the day we left. The hotel had written to us to advise of the exceptional restaurant closure but the same email assured us the the terrace ( for food and drinks) and bar would be open. Had we known everything was closed we would not have stayed here, or we would have chosen alternative dates as being with friends public areas were important to us especially as the rooms were too small to meet in. I would not recommend staying in a ‘comfort’ / standard double rooms as some are too small.

First off, if you've booked a parking space it'll be fun! The town is full of narrow one way streets which really confused the nav. Then the car park itself. Let's just say confidence is needed if you drive anything other than a small car. All adds to the adventure though. Rooms were clean, and a good size. Service was really good. Only thing it loses points on is the food - menu didn't seem to know what it wanted to be and the food was average.
