El Tossal

A lovely hotel in a fantastic location within walking distance of all that Guadalest has to offer. The owner gave us a map of the area and explained where everything was including the opening times of various restaurants. The beds were really comfortable and the bathroom was extremely well equipped with toiletries, hair dryer and plenty of towels. The breakfast buffet was outstanding with a huge selection of fresh berries and other fruit, yoghurts, cheeses, meats, pastries, cakes, eggs, bread for toasting etc. There was also a selection of juices, teas and coffees. The night we stayed we were the only 4 guests in the hotel but they still put out the amazing selection of food for breakfast. If we return to Guadalest we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Very nice owners of the hotel and perfect location!

We were looking to replace our local 'sanctuary'...a place we could escape to when we need a few days of relaxation and pampering...and we think we have found it at El Tossal. We received a very friendly welcome, from Inés and Juan, augmented by a bottle of water and a bottle of wine and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of what is advertised as 2 star accommodation. The room was tastefully furnished with plenty of storage space and some lovely details in the scented candles. Basic toiletries were extremely generous and once again, there was plenty of space, in the modern bathroom, for our own items. The air-conditioning/heating worked well and the Wi-Fi connection was perfect. There is no safe, in the room, but it could only be accessed by an individual security code, so there were no qualms about leaving items we considered valuable. We have given top marks for cleanliness, so there is no need to repeat how spotless every area was, but we did appreciate how pleasant the place smelled, each day. The freshness, variety and abundance of breakfast items is something that we note in many other reviews, but we have to add that we have travelled all over the world and only found anything comparable with what we enjoyed here, in 4 and 5 star hotels. ..and some of those have not even reached Inés´standards! A one night stay is certainly not enough to appreciate the different home-cooked offerings, which appear every morning.....and there was plenty for us vegetarians to chose from, too. It is perfectly situated for visiting Guadalest and the surrounding villages and forests...and the nearby, public parking is only 2 Euros a day....so we shall certainly be booking again, as soon as we feel the need to re-charge our batteries. Thank you, Inés and Juan, for such an enjoyable three nights.

We stayed in El Tossal for one night but I have to say it was a fantastic place to stay. The warm and friendly welcome by Inez was super, she explained everything to us that we needed to know. She even gave us a complimentary bottle of wine and water. The room was lovely with French doors and a small balcony overlooking the surrounding mountains. The overall comfort and cleanliness make this a hotel to come back to again and again. Breakfast was included and again was superb, everything was fresh and great choices. As a base for the Guadelest area - don't look any further!

The best service I have had anywhere. They were so welcoming. I did not have to ask any questions because she wert over everything, the facility, the town, the restaurants, the hours, etc, before we got to the room. Large comfortable room with AC, very nice breakfast and a gorgeous little town. She even gave us olive oil from the area to take home as a souvenir. You will not be sorry you staying with them.

A lovely Hotel. Clean and comfortable. Provided with a map of the town showing where the castle, restaurants and pubs were. I parked in a paid paid parking area, €2 for 24 hours, 25 meters from the hotel. Breakfast the following morning was very good, a big variety of food to choose from.

My wife and I were shocked to receive such wonderful and generous welcome! The level of service remained at top level until the very last minute of our stay. Splendid accommodation, beautiful clean room, and incredibly good and generous breakfast!!! The staff uniquely nice, friendly, helpful...we have never experienced such fabulous service even at a 5-star hotel. We will make sure that we will go back to El Tossal as soon as we will travel again in such beautiful area. With grateful regards, Carmine

Very friendly hostess and the breakfast is overwhelming. The amount of hot water was quite limited but we managed just fine. We visited the town off-season and none of the restaurants were open at dinnertime, but that’s not El Tossal’s fault. Good value for money.
