to get started.

The service in the bar was exceptional and very friendly. The breakfast buffet was very good.

Cecilia, United States of America

This is one of two paradores in Santo Domingo de la Calzada. The parador does not have parking so we asked reception about it. We were able to park nearby (a few yards away) although parking was tight. On the other side of the circle (roundabout) across from the parador, following the sign for the other parador, we saw plenty of parking. This parador is very charming. No having a restaurant maybe inconvenient for some, but there’s plenty of eateries on that same street. This may be helpful for pilgrims doing “El Camino” we also saw there’s a laundry facility not far from the parador.

As a pilgrim, it was very nice to have a private room with all of the amenities of a fancy hotel for one night.

Robin, United States of America

Common spaces. All reasonably grand. Two comfortable chairs for reading.

The waiter seemed to not want to clear used plates until people left the restaurant. There were only two tables so it was not a matter of being busy. It was not pleasant sitting there with dirty plates.
The breakfast buffet was nice.

“Now I can say I stayed in a Parador and don't need to stay in one again.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Standard Twin Room
- • Stayed 1 night
I felt that the staff was a little stuffy, the WIFI was horrible and worst of all, I tripped in the lobby on a small lip on a transition between wood and concrete (which never should be there!) and injured myself to the point where I could barely walk the next day. Needless to say, this has left a bitter taste in my mouth for Paradors. I love the concept, but I do feel that they were a little snooty to me as a pilgrim and I don't think I will stay at one again when on pilgrimage.
As a pilgrim, it was very nice to have a private room with all of the amenities of a fancy hotel for one night.

Architecturally stunning parador. I would give it 5 stars if a few things had been upgraded. WiFi in our room was very weak. Strong in other areas of the hotel. Bathroom is a bit dated and toiletries rationed. But it was warm on a cold damp day and I loved having a cocktail in the bar. No food in the parador which was disappointing as it was cold and damp. Restaurants are a bit far away. Front desk recommended a restaurant to us and we went. Sat for 30 minutes clearing emails. Nobody came with menus. We asked for them and they continued to ignore us. So I think the front desk could use some better local connections.

One important point: figuring out which of the two Paradores was ours led us on a bit of a goose chase. Maybe proactively sending specific driving/parking directions ahead of time would help close the gap.
Excellent value: for a reasonable price, a truly top-shelf room experience (bedding, bathroom, room view, etc.).
