It’s proximity to downtown Salamanca made the Hotel Puente Romano an ideal location to stay, and it was just far enough away from the major attractions so that I wasn’t bothered by much noise from the all the activity. Checking in was easy; I had made my reservation online the evening before, and they had it waiting for me when I arrived the following afternoon. My interactions with the staff were all positive, as they were friendly and helpful about answering my questions. The room I had was a comfortable size, tidy and even had a small balcony attached to it. I was very pleased to find that the bathroom was thoroughly cleaned and everything operated properly. The water I drank from the tap tasted fine, although it’s always a little warm (due to the high temperatures in the summer).
My balcony door had a metal barrier that was broken, so I could only raise it around two feet from the ground. Like most businesses in Salamanca, the hotel doesn’t have AC for the rooms, so I really would have liked to open the door cover entirely to cool my room out during the night. I was also a little surprised to see the pool was closed, despite it being over one hundred degrees and summertime. Nevertheless, I’m glad to say that my dislikes are quit few, and they didn’t really detract that much from the overall experience I had.
