Camino Real Hotel El Paso

My only complaint was the pillows were too big and not comfortable. When I asked for a smaller one they brought me a lumpy one. (ugh). The food at the restaurant was good but the service was a bit slow. The heating was a bit difficult to get just right as you can't adjust it to a particular temperature. more

Just writing to say that we honestly can't see what the bad reviewers saw that was bad in the hotel. During our stay their we got a huge Junior Suite which had a marvelous view of downtown El Paso. All the furniture and bedding was modern and not old and frumpy. Carpeting was very clean and seemed newly installed to match the muted red decor. A/C worked correctly with no issues at all. The suite we stayed in had modern draperies and was very well lit inside. The bed was awesome and huge. New modern linens with full set of huge pillows and blankets that were comfy. You get the option of having your bed done everyday with new comfy modern linens or they can reuse the same linens to save on not using detergents. They are part of eco-friendly hotels who try to use less earth-damaging practices ie. less harmful chemicals, energy efficient lighting (the reason those bath lamps take 2 mins which is really less than a minute to warm up to full brightness). Great choice if you're into staying in a more eco-conscious hotel. The vicinity of downtown with the El Paso Museum of Art right directly behind the hotel and a Plaza theatre where you can check out touring Broadway plays next to it. Plus you are right in the central bus hub where you can take a 25 cent trolley to go to El Paso's sunset heights district or to the bridge of Mexico to partake in fine dining/sight seeing or check out the university. The hotel itself has a great decor the Dome bar is just a nice place to be in because it's something you don't see every day. Likewise around the dome bar you have various actual authentic paintings or Lithographs from renound artists i.e. Salvador Dali, Picasso that you don't see at a Hilton or any other hotel in the area another great site to have your cameras ready to take pics of. Parking is pretty big so no worry about not finding parking and the cars are real close to the elevators to bring up your staff if you don't take advantage of the bellboy service. In/Out privileges everyday for 5 bucks in DOWNTOWN is awesome. We had the advantage of booking when they offered free breakfast vouchers. Azulejos the mexican restaurant inside the Hotel serves some of the best mexican breakfast buffett which we recommend you check out. Great chilaquiles, chile colorado/verde and other regular american staples like pastries, cereal oatmeal etc. at a very decent price. Don't pass up on taking them up for the breakfast. Service was very swift and nice as well. All in all a great hotel which more people should give a shot at. Don't go to much by the previous bad reviews imo. more

We visited El Camino Real en route back from a wedding in New Mexico and were delighted to experience this jewel of an historic hotel in El Paso. We adored the beautiful historic features, chandeliers, etc. Our room was large and very clean had great views of El Paso. Service was excellent. There were very few guests--the hotel was quite quiet. We were able to use the really nice weight room and pool...both virtually empty. The hotel's location is central to everything and we were able to catch a super efficient free hotel shuttle both to and from the airport. All at a total cost of $94/night. At this price the Camino Real--and a visit to El Paso is a real bargain. more

This hotel was fantastic. We loved it. One of the best we stayed in on our Amtrak trip through the USA. Beautiful and large clean room. Great staff at desk and the guys who organised taxis and shuttles were very helpful. Luxurious surroundings in lobby and bar. We felt very comfortable with room and staff. And the people of El Paso are beautiful !! Internet in lobby was a joy - no problems with emails. A computer was always available at no charge. Great position close to Amtrak, shopping, restaurants and Juarez. more

Das Hotel aus der Zeit um die vorletzte Jahrhundertwende ist unvergleichlich in seinem Charme und repräsentiert El Paso schlechthin. Man kann so etwas nicht mit einer sterilen Hotelkette der neueren Zeit vergleichen. Mein Zimmer war voll funktionsfähig, sauber und bequem. Der Hammer ist die Domebar am Wochenende (Fr, Sa). unvergleichliche Flair und Stimmung. Die Angestellten geben gute Auskunft, wenn man sie zu konkreten Themen befragt, z.B. Restauranttipps. Shuttleservice zu Zielen in die Stadt. Insgesamt ein Erlebnis. more

Our stay at the Camino Real was excellent in every way. Our room was big and clean. The hotel staff were very helpful. We took advantage of the free airport shuttle. The restaurants were very good. I would highly recommend this hotel to others. more

outstanding hotel, breakfast & service. it was better than I could expect. A+, couldn't be better more

Would stay there again! Unique hotel experience and much better than your run of the mill chain hotel. I had a great corner room with a view of downtown El Paso and Juarez. more

We were very pleased with our stay!! I wasn't too sure of staying at the Camino Real due to other reviews. However, I'm glad I saw it for myself. The staff was very helpful and the rate I got was very reasonable. We will be staying at the Camino Real each and every time we visit El Paso. more

Historic Charm I always stay at this hotel when I visit El Paso for business. It is not the typical modern chain, and some of the amenities could use some updating (no flat screen TVs), but the service is spectacular, the rooms are roomy and comfy, and you can't beat the charm and history behind the Camino Real. more

This hotel exceed my expectations...the elegance and cleaniness was outstanding...I would definitely stay again and recommend to friends and family. more

Room was super clean and spacious. Jorge and Frank are OUTSTANDING employees! We had fun here :) Everything was convenient, would recommend. more

Our room was away from the bar, and we heard no noise from late night music. Room was comfortable and had that old mansion feel. more

The hotel is newly renovated, right in downtown El Paso, TX. The rate I got with hotels com was excellent. more

The hotel and staff were very nice. Very helpful and went out of their way for us. Had a great band play in the lobby one the nights we were there, plus at a courtyard across from the hotel the night before. Room was clean, a little dated, but heard from the staff that they were gradually updating rooms. Pool was very clean as well. Had a very nice breakfast in the hotel. Location was great. more

The hotel, although an older building, met our needs very well. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Bathrooms are suitable. Rates reasonable. Staff friendly and helpful. We would stay there again. more

The hotel was not only beautiful, but the service and friendly staff made it enjoyable. It is located ideally to many interesting places, including a walk to Juarez. We'll be back! more

Food Bar and margaritas were very special. Great bartender, guests mellow and compatible. more
