Dorma Reina Isabel
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 a sensible booking if you want a cheap, well-reviewed four-star near Ávila's train station and can live with a short walk to the walls. If staying inside the old town matters more than price, our other two picks fit better.

Dorma Reina Isabel is our Budget pick in Ávila. It has four stars and a guest score of 8.7 out of 10 from 2,645 reviews, the largest review base of our three picks in the city.
It suits travellers arriving by train, people on a tight budget and anyone who wants a reliable base without paying for a historic setting. A buffet breakfast is listed, and the property has a 24-hour front desk.
Skip it if you want to step out of the door and be inside the medieval walls. It sits outside them, near the station. Its guest score is also the lowest of our three Ávila picks, although 8.7 is still a good result.
Location and getting around
The address is Paseo De La Estación, 17. Guests like that it is close to the train station and about a 15 minute walk from the historic walls. The location sub-score is 8.6 out of 10.
Using straight-line estimates, Ávila Cathedral and the Basilica of San Vicente are each about 1 km away, roughly 13 minutes on foot. Las Cogotas is about 7.9 km, an estimated 99 minutes, which is far, so you will need public transport or a taxi for that one.
These times are not measured routes. Expect the real walk into town to take a little longer.
What guests say
Staff get consistent praise for being friendly and professional, with helpful service and a warm welcome. The station location is the other plus guests mention most.
Parking is the weak point. There is a secure garage and some street options, but spaces can be tight or limited. Room size, noise and the state of the rooms have not been assessed in our data.
Price compared with our other Ávila picks
In our reference search for 10 to 12 November 2026, 2 adults in one room, the price was about €55.35 per night, about €111 for the two nights. That is 36% below the sample median of €86.28. These are reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026, not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Sofraga Palacio, our Best Value pick, was about €99 per night with a score of 9.4. La Casa del Presidente Small Luxury Hotels, our Luxury pick, was about €261 per night, also with 9.4.
So you save around €44 a night compared with Sofraga Palacio and give up 0.7 points of guest score and a location by the cathedral. For many short stays, that trade is worth it.
