Hotel Carlos V
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.
Worth booking if you want to sleep in Toledo's old town for little money, with the Alcázar and the Cathedral a few minutes away. Skip it, or ask for a renovated room, if you need space, because older and single rooms feel cramped.

Hotel Carlos V is our Budget pick in Toledo. It is a 3-star hotel with an 8.9 score from 4,397 reviews. Sightseers who want to walk everywhere and spend little on the room will get the most from it.
Family rooms, air conditioning, a terrace and free Wi-Fi are listed.
If you need a big room, be careful. Guests say renovated units are spacious, but single and older rooms feel small and cramped.
Location and getting around
The hotel sits in Toledo City Centre, at Plaza Horno de la Magdalena, s/n. Its location score is 9.6, the strongest number on its profile.
Straight-line estimates put the Alcázar of Toledo about 100 metres away, around 1 minute on foot. Toledo Cathedral is 200 metres, around 3 minutes, and the Synagogue of El Tránsito is 700 metres, around 9 minutes. Old-town streets can be steep and winding, so check routes on a map.
What guests say
Location tops the list: central, near the Cathedral and the Alcázar, within walking distance of the old town. Staff also get credit, with reception and cleaning teams described as friendly, professional and attentive.
Room size is the recurring complaint, especially in single and older rooms. Noise and renovation condition have not been assessed by us, so read recent reviews before choosing a room type.
