I can't imagine staying at a property other than The Hotel Carlos V in Toledo.
It is a full service property with history and renovated rooms.
The staff is top notch -- one young front desk person went on a hunt through housekeeping with me to find a pillow more to my liking.
The location is in the heart of everything. Footsteps from the bus the circulates between the Renfe train station and the core of the ancient city.
The hotel is next to the Alcazar and very close to the main town square.
The cathedral and all historic sites in the upper town are a 15 minute, maybe 20 minute at the most walk from Carlos V.
The breakfast was never ending. All kinds of hot foods, gourmet pastries, fruits, coffee, beverages -- all for 14 euro.
I went in May, an ideal time for central Spain, and the price was well below 100 euros for the room plus taxes.
My room was small, but very well appointed, spotlessly clean and with a comfortable bed and warm shower.
I heard zero street noises.
I was not happy that my economy room was located right in front of the pair of elevators -- but Carlos V must draw a high caliber client, because I heard none of the loud talking often associated with tipsy tourists stepping out of an elevator.
This is not a little in or apartment that you never get service from after getting the key.
This is a truly full service hotel.
Toledo has so much going for it, I very highly recommend making it an overnight 2-day visit, rather than a day trip from Madrid.
