Guest reviews
Very good
An historic castle that doubles as. Parador. Make sure you walk round the battlements
Liked: Fabulous building with a wonderful courtyard
Disliked: No tea and coffee making facilities
Interesting experience
Liked: Fabulous building in a fairly drab town, very interesting rooms and a very very good restaurant (wine ok too). Staff were excellent. Beds comfortable.
Disliked: Bathroom was dated, room had open vents onto corridor which was both a little intrusive and let a lot of light in overnight. Lovely fountain in middle of inner courtyard, but was a little 'sewage' smelly to sit near.
Excellent stay in a beautiful parador
Liked: The room was very spacious and quiet. The bathroom was really big. A nice welcoming bottle of water when we arrived. The swimmingpool was very nice with enough beds and parasols. We arrived a bit early and as our room was not yet ready, our luggage could be stored and we could stay in the swimmingpool. When our room was ready, all the luggage was already delivered in our room! Very good and friendly service.
Disliked: We got a voucher for a welcome drink (we thought), but that turned out to be only for members of the parador. This could have been explained better on beforehand. We now had to pay, which we did not expect.
Building impressive / breakfast good. Overall room disappointing - worst of any Parador visited
Liked: Atrium area spectacular. Reception staff good. Ability to park next to hotel.
Disliked: Room. Dated and tired. Air conditioning did not work.
Liked: Location + Breakfast + Staff + Room
Disliked: There was no elevator to leave the room and take the luggage down... it had to be done via some stairs.
Fabulous BUT big problem with rowdy teenagers at night
Liked: Beautiful castle hotel. Fantastic location. Reception staff very friendly and helpful. Easy parking outside.good pool area and good buffet breakfast. Huge room.
Disliked: Dirty air filter in bathroom and dirty air-conditioning vent in main room. Major problem with ground floor rooms.....we had room 103......impossible to sleep as large groups of loud and rowdy teenagers outside the room window all night into the early hours. We reported to reception who know about issue and have to call police to remove the teenagers. A major big detracción. I think this may effect all the front facing ground floor rooms....you pay for a goods nights sleep and you do NOT get one. They need to sort this out.
