Fernando, Jul 2025
Pros (+) The hotel is located in an old fort and near to the center of the city. It is easy to park and the view from the rooms is quite nice. The room and bathroom is spacious. Breakfast was very good. the swimming pool is beautiful. High value for money.
Cons (-) The hotel is quite old and the furniture in the room old-fashioned. The service at the restaurant was appalling: we had to reserve a table and we did, but the information from reception did nota arrive at the restaurant, the waitress was not ready to move our cutlery outside (it was hot), so we did ourselves.

Nigel, Jul 2025
Pros (+) Location is great. Food in restaurant is super. And breakfast was as good as it gets in Spain. Pool and surroundings are top notch. Big clean pool, lots of sunbeds and chairs with a bar.

So not really a gym that is useable and looks to just ...

Pros (+) A fantastic conversion of an historic building with excellent facilities. The location was perfect. Breakfast was also very good. Very good value.

Robert, Jul 2025
Pros (+) It’s a treat to stay in a parador, and this one in particular. There are so many nooks to explore, including an old chapel right near the room. The breakfast space and buffet may be the best I’ve ever had.
Cons (-) The top floor has a gabled roof, so tall folks have to be aware not to bang their heads on the ceiling.
