Dorma Alfonso VIII
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Yes, it is easy to recommend: a central 4-star with a 9.0 score that was also the cheapest of our three Plasencia picks at the reference dates. The main caveat is parking, which relies on a tight public garage across the street.

Dorma Alfonso VIII is our Luxury pick for Plasencia. It suits couples and solo travellers who want to walk everywhere in the old town and still sleep well, since guests say it is quiet at night. It has more reviews than either of our other two picks.
Skip it if you want hotel extras. The listed facilities are free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and a 24-hour front desk. No pool, gym or restaurant is listed. If you want a pool, look at the Parador. Drivers with large cars should also read the parking note.
Location and getting around
The address is Avenida Alfonso VIII, 32. Guests rate the location 9.6 out of 10 and mention the Plaza Mayor and historic sites nearby.
The New Cathedral and the Old Cathedral of Plasencia are each about 0.2 km away, roughly 3 minutes on foot as straight-line estimates. That makes it the closest of our three picks to the cathedrals.
Guests describe the area as central yet quiet at night. We have not assessed noise in individual rooms, so check recent reviews if you are a light sleeper.
What guests say
The score is 9.0 out of 10 from 2,263 reviews, the joint highest in our sample and the largest review count of our three picks. Guests praise the location and a friendly, helpful, professional team who give local tips.
Parking is the weak spot. Guests say the public garage across the street is convenient, but spaces are tight and there is no loading zone for unloading bags.
Price and how it compares with our other Plasencia picks
The reference price was €69.92 a night, about €139.84 for two nights. It is a reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults in one room, not a live quote. The sample median was €94.50, so this sat about 26% below it. Check today's price for your dates, since this was unusually low for a Luxury pick.
HOTEL LOS ALAMOS BOUTIQUE, our Budget pick, was €80 with 8.6 and 1 star, outside the centre. Parador de Plasencia, our Best Value pick, was €96.90 with 9.0 and 4 stars, plus a pool. At these dates the Dorma beat both on price while matching the top score.
A buffet breakfast is listed. Whether it is included in your rate is not confirmed.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 5 eligible hotels in Plasencia. No five-star hotel qualified, so the Luxury slot went to a four-star scoring at least 8.5. This one holds 4 official stars and shares the top score of 9.0.
