Climb the towers of the medieval Castillo del Moral for panoramic views across Lucena's olive-dotted landscape. Savour authentic Andalusian cuisine at Plaza Nueva's outdoor cafés before exploring the ornate San Mateo church with its impressive baroque altar.
Fantastic location rooms were spacious clean and very reasonably priced. Free parking for motorbikes. Restaurant and bar very reasonably priced and good portions. Check in was quite tedious as the self check in was not very intuitive and didn't recognise United Kingdom and neither did the receptionist which seemed odd eventually between us we got to complete the check in.
Overall I would say this hotel was a good find but a bit remote if you like a variety of places to visit but the views and...

Our stay in this hotel was faultless. Such a superb place with friendly and helpful staff. We ate in the restaurant and thoroughly enjoyed our meals.
We would most certainly stay there again.

Nice quiet location - handy for visting Priego and the surrounding countryside. Nice room and good pool. The staff were friendly. The restuarant was very good. My only faults would be that both the wifi and room keys were a bit unpredictable

We chose the hotel for its central location, which is perfect if you're renting a car and driving to different cities. It's within a very easy (wide-open freeways) two-hour drive of Granada, Córdoba, Málaga, and Seville. (Also don't overlook the lovely ancient city of Antiquera, which is nearby.) Yet it is out in quiet and very beautiful countryside.
What we didn't expect was that the hotel itself would be one of the highlights. It's not ornate, but it's beautiful and extremely well run. The...

Great view, good location, the only thing to note, that we hadn't realised when we booked was that the spa was an additional up charge.
Located well for visiting Andalusia

20 min easy walk to town. Hotel rooms clean and spacious and good value for money. (beds a bit too firm for us!!)
Due to new legislation for booking in, ( passport details, email etc)it took a while as chap at reception didn't speak English and my Spanish is poor( thank you google translate!)we got there in the end.
Restaurant, cafeteria next to hotel, good food , excellent coffee, excellent staff.

Stayed here as my sin was playing in a local tournament. 2 bedroom 2 bathroom room. Clean and comfortable. TVs in both rooms and living area. Breakfast a bit underwhelming but ok. Location with amazing views.

Hostel Garlu totally exceeded our expectations - friendly staff and super clean. The beds were comfortable and a great shower in our bathroom. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again or to recommend.

This is most certainly a 'must visit' hotel. It takes us back to the days of traditional Spanish service: nothing was too much trouble for the staff; the hotel itself is styled in the cool, traditional Andalucian way; and the food was excellent. Although it might be seen as an 'en route' stopover, the fitness and pool facilities are excellent and would offer a wonderfully enjoyable family break.
We will most certainly return!
