The food at the cafeteria was good but breakfast could use a lot of improvement. I asked for eggs over medium and got fried eggs in a puddle of oil. I used three thick napkins to rid of the oil but it was not enough. The variety of foods was also limited. A place such as this parador can really do a better breakfast buffet.

Excellent hotel, in a stunning building. The many public areas were very comfortable and well appointed. Hotel parking in a city centre was a real bonus. The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of wardrobe space. Most of the staff were very pleasant and efficient.

The hotel is very grand, with the reception, dining room and a comfortable seating area in the old monastery section and the bar, breakfast room and most bedrooms in the modern section. Our room had windows with views across the trees to the old Roman bridge. Our bathroom was spacious and modern. Dinner was very good indeed, with starched white table linen, suited waiting staff, a sommelier, excellent house wine, a complimentary amuse-bouche and delicious food. The breakfast buffet was extensive and there was a selection of hot food to order. Free parking was easy behind the hotel. It was only about 10 minutes walk to the pedestrianised old town.

Absolutely wonderful hotel in all respects. Recently renovated historic building with a beautiful facade and stunning ultra modern interior decor. One of the interior courtyards is transformed into a modern art gallery while side hallways display many original oil paintings and museum-grade historic artifacts. Similarly, the cloister displays fantastic sculptures and a photogenic garden. Attached to the hotel is an old church open to visitors from the hotel or from the square. Room decor is very modern but with tastefully selected traditional elements and high-quality artwork on the walls. All in all, an unforgettable treat to the eyes. State-of-the-art modern bathroom. Easy although not cheap open-air parking in the back of the building.

After being on the Camino de Santiago for 3 weeks, this was a much needed weekend stop. It was luxurious from the moment of arrival until we departed. Javier at the front desk helped me with some issues surrounding my Camino and was just so helpful all around. Also the young lady that checked us in on Friday was fabulous and helpful as well. We loved the sophisticated bar because it’s very hard for us to eat as late as Spaniards and the bar had excellent tapas, sandwiches and food that filled our needs and was served early. A fabulous Parador that we hope to return to someday!.

We were hiking the Camino de Santiago (Camino Frances) and this is the best hotel we have stayed at so far. Some of the Parador hotels are a bit dated these days, but not this one. It was incredible - the hotel (both the exterior and interior) are amazing. The location is about a 15-20 min walk from the old town/cathedral. We paid Euros 260 per night for a Superior Double including breakfast - the room was fantastic, and we had a view at the front of the hotel. Excellent value for money. I would highly recommend this hotel.

I was surprised by the stunning modern courtyard and the art galleries on each floor- I loved it! There were back areas that were more traditional. Breakfast was great. Hint: We could not figure out how to get our car to the front door to check in and drop the luggage because it is a huge pedestrian area in front of the Parador. After going around in circles a few times, my husband parked and I walked over and asked them to advise me. You turn right on the Ave of Peregrinos (one way) and then take your first left and drive in slowly in FRONT of the church and the Parador- drive right across the pedestrian area on the cobbles- it was crazy. Then they valeted our car.

This is a gorgeous hotel, truly a five star experience. We stayed in a superior double-expensive but worth it. The room was spacious and comfortable with everything you could possibly think of. The building is simply amazing with cloisters, works of art and history all around. There was a free guided tour which was a must.

Good choice of quality foods. Beautifully developed old monastery. Superb riverside terrace and then formal restaurant. truly magical place. plenty of secure parking at the back however you need to drive onto the piazza in front of the Parador to check in. The most beautiful room in a tower ... #402. Definitely going back for more than one night next time - was a stopover on a drive down to Lisbon.
