Hotel Palacio Garvey  

The Hotel Palacio Garvey is well situated for visiting the Sherry Bodegas. The hotel seems to have been recently refurbished and every thing was very modern and the rooms were well furnished.

On arrival, the lady in reception was very abrupt to our friends because I had booked two rooms in my name and he happened to be at the desk first and gave his name. Our room was very dark, with one small frosted glass window in the corner. The bathroom was fitted with good quality modern facilities, but there was no holder for the shower! Our friends had a bright, airy room with two windows overlooking the garden and a holder for the shower. For the same price. When we asked the same lady in reception why there was no holder for the shower she said, "Oh, you just have to hold it", which was obvious. When we said but our friends have a holder in their bathroom, her reply was "All our rooms are different" in a voice that said the matter was closed. The next morning there was another receptionist and she was completely different, very friendly.

Junior suite at rear of hotel was very impressive. Very spacious and luxurious, beyond what we expected. We had two good nights sleep and enjoyed the comforts of the room. The suite balcony was a welcome addition which we used morning and evening, even though the view wasn't anything, it was pleasant. The breakfast was fresh and well thought out. We tried the restaurant for lunch, also impressive. All staff friendly and helpful. Overall, left with a good impression. It surprises me this hotel isn't busier.

We had a junior suite with a lovely terrace which enabled us to have lovely views of jerez and the local square with entertainment and tapas bars which were really good during the evening.The hotel is excellently placed with easy access to all the sights and attractions.The hotel staff were extremely friendly,helpful and knowledgeable.The continental breakfasts were very good.

We really cannot find anything bad to say about the hotel or it's facilities but was disappointed that we could not keep our room on until 6pm as requested as our flight was not till 9pm and having walked around all day in the hot sunshine it would have been better if we could have had a shower before our long journey home.

Excellent helpful reception. The hotel is a great example of how a fine old building can be given a modern twist. Recently completely refurbished it is all one could expect from a hotel. The bed was the most comfortable experience. Top marks - well done.

Great location. Accessible parking. Historical building well modernized. Easy access to all the pedestrian streets in town.

The central location was perfect for our visit Jerez for a long weekend break to celebrate my wifes birthday. We felt like guests in a spacious town house rather than just hotel customers. The staff, particularly the receptionist when we arrived, made us feel very welcome and could not have been more helpful. Our room was large, comfortable and the bathroom fabulous, about three times larger than one in an average or even high priced hotel. The staircase and corridors, full of interesting artwork were a delight. Overall an an excellent choice and would definitely stay again.

Only one slight criticism was that staying in November there were few other guests and there was no choice for breakfast. What we were given was nice but may not suit everybody.

Good location with parking enabling a walk to the cathedral, Royal Andalusian Riding School and sherry bodegas (recommend the Tio Pepe visit) Eccentric decor some of wihch works and some of wihch doesn't but discloses flair and imagination. Comfortable beds and excellent bathroom

The receptionist pointed out the wrong street by mistake on our first nioght for a restaurant. Jerez has a dearth of good restaurants. Otherwise nothing to complain about

God value for money and good location

No lift to second floor

Excellent placed hotel ,just great for shopping and a host of local wine bars. The hotel has pleasant decor, friendly and helpful staff and surprisingly good gourmet style food in the restaurant. The bonus is that the hotel has its own car park. It is best to get directions as the car park is not obvious to find. We selected the hotel for its central location and it is a 15 minute walk from the famous Spanish school of Horses.. Fundacion real escula andaluza atre ecuestre. We saw the show one day and returned the next to see the training sessions, museum..etc. A double great experience. Add to that the lovely feel of Jerez and we need say no more.

It would be just a bit nicer if the hotel had tea/coffeee making facilities in the rooms. The cafe in the hotel is not always open at the times you feel a warm drink would be pleasant.

The helpfulness of the staff was particularly outstanding. Enjoyed the surroundings and found the location central.

Friendly and helpful staff, great restaurant, ambiance, location in older section, character and aesthetics.

We don't mind climbing stairs but some people would. Plus I would prefer a traditional rather than a hand held shower.

Nice location, initial welcoming very good. Nice and clean hotel.

A little bit like Ikea in terms of bedroom furnishings. Room a little noisey in the mornings as above kitchen/restaurant. Expected a better room as a jounier suite.
