Everything was perfect - location + parking accommodations, hotel staff, etc. Modern hotel at the edge of the old medieval town, easy and quick access to Plaza Mayor and old town, and very convenient to take day trips - we enjoyed Caceres in no-rush mode for 2 days, on other days we'd visited Merida and Trujillo. Extremadura is a very special place, being genuine and have real Spanish spirit, it has it all: Roman and Medieval sights and culture, history, amazing cathedrals, monasteries and convents. You'll not be disturbed by self obsessed day trippers. Just get a rental car, learn a bit of Spanish phrases, and you will have it all to yourself. Should I mention top notch restaurants; btw, our favorite restaurants were Casa del Sol and @ local parador, both in Caceres)

Friendly welcome at reception, great breakfast and very comfortable beds. We used the car park overnight as it was very handy for our loaded. Ar heading back to. Britain.

We were there on a Saturday night and the hotel was very busy with residents. As it was pouring with rain, we decided to eat in the hotel, but the small bar/bistro restaurant was fully booked (perhaps 10 tables). Room service was our next choice which was good and arrived on time. We realised in the morning that there was a very large restaurant serving breakfast for lots and lots of residents, but it hadn’t been open the night before. Perhaps closed for winter.

Great lo action close to city centre. It was a great value for money. Breakfast was average. Staff were generally helpful except for one receptionist who insisted that I don't know how to use the card key when I told him it stopped working and came with me to my room door to make sure 'I can learn' how to open the door with the card. Maybe it was only a language barrier that he couldn't use the right vocabulary

The room had very little natural lighting except for a narrow and high window that was looking into an internal volume of open air. No view or sunlight could come into the room at any time of day

This is the 2nd time we stayed @GHDM, no disappointments. My family are very comfortable staying here. The underground parking is €12 peace of mind. Bed and breakfast was a fair price about £120 in total for a family of 3. The breakfast by Luis the chef and his team was exceptional. Extremely attentive staff at front desk, the breakfast restaurant is well presented with abundant fresh food with local treats on offer. I am vegan, as soon as I pointed out that i had one cereal option, Luis insisted that he made me a fresh grilled vegetable breakfast, with a side or cereals, brown toast, aguacate y blended tomato for my bread. Absolutely outstanding effect, not to mention how delicious my breakfast was. I felt like a queen! We will surely return because it’s very easy to stay here, centrally located. There was a huge fiesta happening in the plaza and 2 years ago a live orchestra played from the plaza castle….amazing, I preferred the orchestra to the fiesta but each to their own. The fiesta was well Policed and we felt safe to walk to through the enchanting old town to walk off our dinner until about 1am. Love this place! No complaints. I hope they keep their standards. Never used the gym or spa.

Parking was excellent with elevator to hotel lobby and rooms from garage. We stayed in a 2BR apartment which was across plaza (30m) from hotel lobby - they had a luggage cart available to assist. Apartment was very new, clean and well equipped. Nice comfy LR furniture and big TV. Well equiped kitchen with new pans. A short walk to center of old town (like 7-8 minutes but uphill). Very easy to get to hotel with car and easy to get back to main roads. Good communications through booking app.

Pillows hard. Wait for lunch was long and we wound up leaving. Garage usually opened automatically by plate reader but this didn't work after we checked out which caused a slight delay to get it sorted. Initial room had problems with AC/fridge which was detected before we unpacked so not a big deal.

Centrally located near the Plaza Major but far enough away so not noisy. Large rooms and very pleasant staff. Reasonably priced safe parking directly below the hotel. (Tricky to find at first). Very comfortable bed, large clean bathroom. Breakfast - a modest 13€ - is good but not outstanding. Free wi-fi is fine in the room. Minibar was stocked with just 2 bottles of water and 2 Cokes - both charged for - a waste of space. No English news channels on the elderly flat screen tv. However the only other 4 star hotel a 2 minute walk to this most attractive old city square but away from any noise is twice the price (summer 2023 prices) and has small rooms due to its historic nature. Therefore I shall continue using Don Manuel

No English language TV news channels

The hotel is “tucked “ away in a side street in a very quiet part of the town, great. It is a very impressive building having excellent parking facilities. The staff are very friendly and efficient and the food is excellent 👌. Our room was very large and perfectly clean.

The hotel is excellent. BUT don’t follow your satnav to get there. There are road closures leading to the hotel and the satnav couldn’t work its way around them. There are hotel signs on posts and sides of buildings, follow these signs and you will get to the hotel.

Great location. Relatively dog friendly. They have an outside area for breakfast. Diversion signs are carefully placed so it's easy to access despite roadworks. Large room with large, comfortable bed. Really good car park. Access to the old town is via a lift, which is v convenient. Would stay again!

The bathroom is spacious, but the shower really floods the bathroom floor. I had to use a large and small towel to mop it up. It's not really safe to use after someone has had a shower, not unless you mop the floor with every available towel.

Hotel Gran Manuel is located just a few minutes away from Plaza Mayor and is very spacious and modern. Our room was very big and confortable, with AC, a must for the spanish heat. We did ran into a little problem with the card reader in our room and were prompty moved to another (and even bigger) room. The staff was always very nice and friendly with us and the hotel had private parking, at an extra cost. Would stay again!

The parking cost is 14€/day, and that might be a bit expensive just for parking.

I stayed at the Gran Hotel Don Manuel between 1 and 15 June, 2024. The location was pretty convenient, close to the bus stop and Plaza Mayor. The personnel were super friendly and helpful during the whole time of my stay there. The most amazing thing was the view from my window, as I could observe the mountains and some of the historical buildings of the city. If I am ever going to visit Caceres again, I will certainly stay there.
