    Moved to royal suite after complaining about morning noise from the service corridor next to our junior suite. Staff could not have been more helpful and kind. It was our 40th wedding anniversary so a very special stay.

    It was the perfect retreat of opulence after our long walk

    The front of house really let everyone down - no warm smiling faces rather looked like we were interrupting their work - such a pity I think more customer service training is definitely needed. Room could have been better lit but I guess it is a heritage site. The mastic in the shower was going mouldy and there were white paint splatters on the inside of the bathroom door - little things really

    We had walk the Ingles Camino so this was our treat. The location was perfect not too far from anywhere. The breakfast was amazing, the service there was superb. The porters were so helpful and friendly.

    Historic and atmospheric. Exceptional location

    As the oldest hotel/parador, it is very grand and atmospheric. It is expensive but worth it for the experience. The location is exceptional. We did half board to be able to eat in the fancy restaurant at night, and there were plenty of excellent dishes. Breakfast is in a more rapid environment. If you come by car, you have to drive carefully into the main square and stop outside the hotel entrance. Tell Reception and they come to get your luggage and then they drive your car to their parking.

    Small issue- coffee pad in hot water??? Is that really fitting in an expensive hotel? Expect better than that!

    The location is excellent and the history is really amazing. Had a lovey dinner in the restaurant- impressive to sit there.

    The noise, see above, especially where I explicitly asked for a quiet room when I booked (weeks in advance).

    Location is brilliant. Room very large. I asked for a quiet room, but in this 5-star hotel I complained about the noise above our head. There is a space for the staff were they made very loud noice that only stopped after I filed the complaint at midnight. Ridiculous for a 5-star hotel.

    That I didn’t have enough time to explore the hotel. I needed a few more days.

    It is on the square and close to all the Camino action.

    Well this is the place dreams are made of. A superb end to walking the English Camino, like staying in a living museum, steeped in history and of course right next to the Cathedral. A wondrous breakfast .

    There’s nothing to not like.

    The ambiance, one could not help but feel and sense the exceptional history of this amazing location. The careful and meticulous restoration of this unique building is nothing short of miraculous. I could sense the pilgrims and their carers in the tranquil courtyards. The staff were so pleasant and helpful. A wonderful experience.

    There is nothing to dislike!

    The location was perfection. It is on the main square at the end of the Camino. I loved the historical grandeur of the hotel and the inner courtyard was beautiful. The rooms were tastefully appointed and reflected the history of the place. The rooms was large and very comfortable. I slept so well in the cozy bed. My room had a view onto the courtyard which was peaceful and serene. We enjoyed drinks from the bar and sat in the comfortable lounge. The sangria was deliciouis and so was the rich and delightful hot chocolate. Please try both! We had dinner out as we wanted to eat early and get to bed after finishing the Camino. The breakfast was the best I have ever experienced! The selection was heavenly! The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful and seemed proud of their hotel and their city. I will certainly return to this hotel.

    It was noisy as we were close to the lift, and there was a noise above us most of the night,? Heating system. Not enough tea bag’s etc, we asked for more and were told we would have to use room service for more. This seemed odd compared to the lavish breakfast on offer.

    Breakfast was fantastic, huge range on offer, staff very good. Great location next to cathedral square, very atmospheric.
