We stayed here for one night on our way from Burgos to begin the Camino de Santiago. We had heard so many things about the famed paradors of Spain that we were really looking forward to this experience. And when we arrived in the square of San Marcos in front of this magnificent structure we were wowed. We checked in... More

I stayed here after a few days on The Camino and this was our treat. It is an amazing beautiful building, inside and out. Hard to believe we could stay here for such a reasonable rate. Be sure and walk around the building, the cloisters and the garden. A must stay in Leon. It is about 15 minutes walk from... More

This is a beautiful building which was once a monastery (and at a different time a concentration camp!) but it is by no means a luxury 5 star hotel. We were in a 3rd floor room overlooking the terrace. It was 26 degrees on the day we arrived and we were told the air conditioning was not working. So we... More

This is a superb hotel and fully lives up to the amazing visitor reviews. We benefitted from a special offer (€300 for two days including breakfast) so by the time you throw in the free car park it was not much more expensive than 4 start hotels. The staff are excellent, the rooms large, beautiful and very clean, and the... More

The facade and interior of this hotel are amazing. The guest rooms are actually in a building behind the Parador that was built in 1966 and hasn't been updated since. I seriously have stayed at nicer Motel 6. The beds and furniture are old and worn, the rooms dark, and the whole place smelled like vegetable soup and urine. Do... More

This is the flagship Parador and it's not hard to see why - only the Parador in Santiago is on a par with this (suggest you do both in one trip). The building is just magnificent and the level of service is of the usual high standard I have experienced in other Paradors - efficient and helpful without being overbearing.... More

Amazing driving to this hotel through the pedestrian gardens. Wonderful frontage and you really feel special when the doorman opens your car door and takes cases. Try to explore the whole hotel and eat there for the full experience. Room was lovely and a ten minute walk will bring you to one of the best religious buildings in the world.... More

This is the most historical and fascinating hotel In have ever stayed in. The lobby is full of antique furniture and paintings which are a pleasure to be surrounded by! Ok it is dark and has an 'old feel' but it is 16th century and no one in their right mind would want to strip out and modernise a beautiful... More

This hotel is located in one of the most beautiful buildings you can imagine, which used to be a monastery in the 16th century. Not only is it magnificent from the outside but it's also full of magical spaces such as the cloister, the lobby, the common areas,... It's located by the river and clearly signposted. It's not right in... More
