Amazing location - on top of the rock with great sunrise and sun set photo opportunities. Very Quiet in Jan /Feb - perhaps too quiet.
Staff delightful. Dinner is sensational - the cooking of the fresh ingredients is perfect.
Spectacular location, up next to old castl. Our window looked out on castle at sunrise. Staff was helpful; loaned us a cellphone recharger cable for one we had lost and told us where to buy another. Hotel seemed strangely empty in afternoon and evening, but in the morning at check-in checkout there were plenty of people. To get to hotel, take GPS option that avoids mid-town. Both of our GPS options got lost trying to take routes that went by Plaza España.
This was the 4th Parador of our trip and our expectations were high, because it’s set in the grounds off an archaeological site featuring ruins dating back to the 10th century. Maybe this is why we were sooo disappointed. When you’re in the lobby with all that grandeur you would expect you room to be to par; unfortunately this wasn’t the case. The room was smallish, dark, with tiny windows, cheap-looking furniture, and in dire need of some paint. The bathroom wall and ceiling were a disgrace, and shower glass and hairdryer hook need repair. I must admit that the view was nice. The dining room had no charm and the chef didn’t seem to know what he was doing. My husband asked for a filet mignon medium-rare and the meat came completely raw, (the cow was still mooing). Unlike the other 3 Paradores, this one had no complimentary bottle of water and coffee/tea maker. Nowhere around to buy anything , plus the road to go up and down is very narrow and dangerous with a flimsy wooden guardrail. I wouldn’t recommend it at all.
Was expecting the wow factor from this parador, didn’t get it I’m afraid. Dramatic enough location but interior pretty soulless. Need to up their game with food and drink. They know there’s nowhere else to go and they act accordingly.
Need a courtesy bus down into the town.
Parador Hotel is adjacent to the castle and as such is very convenient for a visit there.
The hotel is of a high standard in both condition and cleanliness. Although we didn’t have time to use them the hotel has both a spa and pool which look great. Note the hotel is not a short walk from the town and the location is steep.
Room not worth the £150+ nightly charge for B & B. Very small room, limited cell like view, no kettle or coffee machine, no complementary water provided, no dressing gowns or slippers. The Spa is a total rip-off at 35 euros when many guests clearly use the facility without paying. The indoor pool temperature was cold. Access to the town only possible by taxi, hotel could do with a minibus service. At breakfast, good range but poor quality on offer. Fried eggs were like rubber and cold. Only branded packaged cereals, no decent muesli. Limited choice on menu for dinner, unimpressed with service or quality of food on offer. Would not return to this hotel at any price!
It's a beautiful hotel with amazing views of the surrounding area. Being built on top of an historic Medieval fort just adds to the amazing location and experience.
Great staff with brilliant service at reception and in the restaurant/cafe. Shower was dated and tray did not drain. Otherwise a fantastic venue and stay with spectacular views. Would highly recommend.
