Hotel San Polo
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.
Hotel San Polo is worth booking if you want the cheapest well-placed room in Salamanca, a few minutes from the cathedrals and Plaza Mayor. If a firm mattress and a top guest score matter more than price, the Best Value pick costs only a little more.

This is our Budget pick in Salamanca. It suits couples and solo travellers on a tight budget who will spend their days walking the old town and only need a central bed. A restaurant, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning are listed, and breakfast is a buffet.
Light sleepers and anyone fussy about beds should look hard at the reviews. Mattresses and pillows draw mixed comments, and the guest score is the lowest of the hotels we compared.
Location and getting around Salamanca
The address is Arroyo de Santo Domingo, 2-4, in Salamanca City Centre. Guests rate the location 9.5 out of 10 and mention views of the cathedral and city walls.
The New Cathedral and the Old Cathedral of Salamanca are each about 0.2 km away, roughly 3 minutes on foot as a straight-line estimate. Plaza Mayor is 0.7 km away, around 9 minutes. For a short city break you are unlikely to need transport at all.
What guests say
The score is 8.2 out of 10 from 5,323 reviews. That is a big sample, but it also placed last, 12th of 12, on review score among the eligible hotels. In Salamanca the competition is strong, so 8.2 is still a decent result.
The location is the clear strength: central, near the historic district, with the cathedral and walls in view.
Beds split opinion. Some guests find them large and cosy, while others report sagging mattresses and lumpy pillows. If sleep quality is your priority, factor that in.
Price and what you get compared with our other Salamanca picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults were about €45.00 per night, or €90 for both nights. The sample median was €74.95, so this was 40% below. These are not live quotes. Check today's price for your dates.
Our Best Value pick, Eurostars Las Claras, was about €63 per night with a score of 9.1 and 4 stars. Our Luxury pick, Hotel Rector, was about €295 per night with 9.8 and 5 stars. San Polo saves you about €18 a night against Las Claras. You get the same short walk to the cathedrals but a lower score and mixed bed reviews.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 12 hotels in Salamanca. The Budget slot goes to the lowest eligible reference price after the upscale pick is reserved, and San Polo had it at €45. Its 9.5 location score and more than 5,000 reviews helped make up for the lower overall rating.
