We (Mother and 11 year old son) made a very late decision to visit Valladolid for Christmas and the hotels that were recommended by a travel agent friend were all fully booked. The reviews for Real Hispano were great and the location seemed perfect based on my Valladolid research, so I booked it, but I was honestly a bit nervous because it was so affordable. Well, I was beyond pleasantly surprised when we arrived, I could not believe how nice the hotel was for the price and the location is absolutely perfect to enjoy the charm of Valladolid. The hotel is a 30 second walk from the bustling town square and close to all of the top attractions. Bonus, Chichen Itza is a safe and easy 45 minute drive, Ek Balam 30 minutes. There were a few things that were not ideal and good to know if you stay here. Parking at the hotel is a bit limited, but they do have a huge private parking lot a 5 minute walk from the hotel, which was fine and felt safe even in the dark. We had to leave very early on our last day to get to the airport and we were parked at the hotel. If you need to check out early, there is no one at the desk before 6. There was a car blocking us in and we couldn’t get out. The front desk person said it belonged to one of the hotel staff. We waited for someone to move it and no one came, so I forced my way through because we were dangerously close to missing our flight. This is the only reason I’m giving 4 and not 5 stars - I would recommend this hotel to any and all travelers.
