Parador de Jarandilla

The weather was hot and the air con switched off. A very uncomfortable night’s sleep. The dinner service was chaotic for the 1st half an hour during which we were just waiting. Other Paradors (including those in the same area) are much better.

Great to experience staying in an old castle. A nice hotel although nothing special. The rooms were tired and need updating. Yes it is an old castle but that is no reason for the rooms to be in a poor state of decoration and repair. The common areas were comfortable and there were a lot of them and it was an interesting place to stay. The food and service in the restaurant were good, however unfortunately the same cannot be said about the cafeteria and bar areas. Overall the stay was satisfactory, although there was an overall lack of enthusiasm from the staff, almost as though they did not really enjoy their work and were just doing a job. This impacted on the atmosphere of the place which was a bit negative. Jarandilla de la Vera is not really of such great interest unless you are hiking or exploring the area. If that is the case then this hotel is worth staying in. They did mess up our reservation but that was quickly sorted and was not an issue. The hotel is very dog friendly, with a park nearby and plenty of places to walk. Never felt as though our dog was unwelcome and she was allowed in many of the common parts of the property. If in the area I would use this hotel again but would not make it a destination.

Spotlessly clean throughout, with professional and friendly staff. The courtyard is fabulous and the overlooking balcony is our favourite place to relax with iphone or book and a glass of wine! The inside salon on the way through to the balcony is large and comfortable too. We have stayed in this Parador many times and consistently enjoy being here.

An average Parador set in an area of outstanding scenery The rooms and restaurant are both good. It has a pleasant courtyard where one can enjoy drinks and meals in fine weather. There is free private parking (not secure)

Beautiful hotel, gorgeous room, great breakfast. The hotel's outside restaurant/cafe area is stunning and is a great spot to just sit and enjoy. Hotel allows dogs and they provide a bed and small bowl.

We have stayed in this Parador many times. It has always been excellent. The building is wonderful and staying in it takes you back to a more peaceful and relaxing time. The bedrooms are comfortably equipped. The bar and restaurant service is excellent and the food is a delight to consume.

Very nice hotel with fantastic views of sunrise.

The Parador was wonderful. I loved the history. The hotel, the room, the service were fine. But I am having a problem with the refund of 283 euros which was charged to our credit card as a deposit at the time of booking on 2/11/2023, to be returned after our stay. We stayed one night 5/2/2023-5/3/2023. We paid for our room at departure and were told the prepay would be refunded. It is now 6/3/2023. Booking is looking into the matter.

Small castle parador with lovely central courtyard/cafe. Receptionist very welcoming and carried our cases to our room which was ready when we arrived at 1pm. Robes available in room but pool sadly shut even though weather was great. Very attentive maitre d' in the reataurant. We visited in stork season so had great fun sitting on the covered lounge balcony watching the huge birds come and go from the trees opposite.
