  : Extremely strict no-smoking policy everywhere, even outside on the terrace, where drinks are served. The hotel was well-maintained, and cleanliness was excellent. Parking area convenient. Bed was comfortable. The high-ceilinged restaurant was elegant and interesting; tables well-spaced, allowed for intimate conversations.
  : The lack of sound insulation, conversations in neighbouring rooms and above could be easily heard. The shower was in the (narrow) bath. It's an historic building, which doesn't allow for a lot of natural light (summers in Spain are so hot, this is deliberately done to keep the rooms cool).

  : Lovely building in a great location. Friendly and helpful staff.
  : Although beautifully presented, the food at breakfast was overpriced - unless you drink Cava and/or red wine in the morning. Self-service and not well organised, compared to dinner.

  : Excellent staff Friendly and extremely helpful at all times
  : The hotel is in dire need of renovation and redecoration.It's classed as four star but the Parador Hotel Group should be aware that they probably still have this rating due to the quality of their staff, not the building itself.The room we took had a polite notice in the bathroom to conserve water as it's precious .Very difficult to do when one wash hand basin had no handle on the plunger so couldn't be used , and the other didn't form a watertight seal. .Wardrobe doors were reminiscent of a Hammer Horror film they creaked so badly.The building is both outdated and desperately needs a revamp to be worthy of it's four star rating .
