We have travelled across Spain and Portugal and this hotel and the town is an absolute gem. Fabulous recently renovated room with superb bed, crisp fresh linen and the best pillows. Superb shower and double basins. Kettle and coffee maker which was an unexpected bonus. Beautiful hotel and lovely garden terrace by the river for drinks outside. Highly recommended!!!

A bit of a disappointment, having just stayed at the brilliant Parador de Baiona. This is a very small and poorly staffed Parador, where despite having international guests, they do not serve tea at breakfast and you have to ask for everything, you cannot access much of the castle and they put you in rooms without a view when only a few of the 34 rooms are occupied - not much incentive to return?!
Cuidad Rosrigo itself is a lovely little town!

Best hotel I have stayed in in Spain.

This hotel was one of the highlights of my road trip. The city of Ciudad Rodrigo is stunning and so historic and this is one of the most impressive buildings in it. To stay in the palace was a priviledge and the place really is top class.

The rooms are lovely, but clearly cant be modern - but they have a charm and elegance that you wont get in a modern hotel.

The views from the restaurant alone are worth a stay and the food was perfect. I have stayed in a number of Paradores and this one is my favourite so far.

We won’t stay here again

This was the 6th time we stayed at the Parador de Ciudad Rodrigo and we’ve had no problems previously. However this time our visit was fraught with problems - no air conditioning in room (only warm air), no Internet in room (only available in reception), no hot water in morning, no vegan option on in-room menu. In fact the in room menu was not available, neither was the menu given to us by reception, a third in room menu was produced in the dining room!! When identifying these problems to the receptionist we simply got a shrug of the shoulders!!!

Worst Parador Have seen and very not 4* and vastly overpriced. Wish could say something positive, but can’t

Save your money and have a look but stay elsewhere

The Parador, once you have found it by car, is in an amazing setting in an imposing building but the rooms are dark and without a much of a view.(unless you count looking at a cobbled driveway and wall a view)Bathroom dated and not 4 star standard with a poor shower and some mould. Hotel very expensive without any frills or perks. Seen much better paradors, this one seemed stark and at places neglected. Even their garden had only metal chairs and the stairs leading to the walkway around the walls bent underfoot...

Fairytale Castle Oasis

Amazing to stay in a beautiful historic castle. We did have some difficulty finding the Parador as the satnav wasn't at all helpful and the walled town entrance and narrow, winding streets didn't seem large enough for cars! But it was worth it once we found it and the Receptionist was very friendly and welcoming. The bedroom and bathroom were very clean, comfortable and quiet. However we did think that the decor was looking a little tired and would benefit from some updating. An added bonus was parking on site. We didn't eat dinner at the hotel but enjoyed a very substantial breakfast. We had visited Ciudad Rodrigo a few years ago and were disappointed that the town was not as \"buzzy\" as previously with many restaurants, shops and bars now closed. However,we still enjoyed drinks in the main square and found a selection of restaurants to eat. We climbed the steps up the Tower at the Parador for wonderful panoramic views over the plains - and could well see why the Castle would have been such a strategic place to defend. There is also a lovely walk around the town walls. We highly recommend this Parador and look forward to returning one day.

When we arrived we were told they only had 5 rooms with a view and none were available. The room we had was ok , yes, overlooking the car park, but not the one we were looking forward too!.

Atmospheric, historic hotel in a wonderful setting

This was our third visit to Ciudad Rodrigo, a wonderful walled city with great historical significance during the wars in the early 19th century. Previously we had used \"normal\" hotels, but we thought we would try the Parador this time and we are extremely glad that we did. Situated in the medieval castle, it has wonderful views over the river and is dripping with atmosphere. Rooms are spacious and quiet, the staff are helpful and friendly and it well merits its 4 star status. Excellent value for money and our first choice always for future visits.

The Parador Hotels are my favorites

I have stayed at numerous Parador Hotels and I have never yet been disappointed. It was no exception this time. Ciudad Rodrigo is a small walled town with the castle, now converted into a Parador, as a center piece. Its truly medieval character has been maintained and it is a pleasure to be there. The rooms are comfortably appointed and the view from our bedroom window. I would always stay there when in the vicinity

Mooi gelegen hotel. Leuk gerenoveerd. Ontbijt prima. Makkelijk parkeren (tegen betaling). Goed gerenoveerde badkamer. Kamer op zich ok maar vol met vliegen. Zowel kleine als grote vliegen. Volgens de receptie was dit “normaal” voor de tijd van het jaar. Ik heb 2x gevraagd om de kamer te laten spuiten met een verdelgingsmiddel tegen de vliegen, maar dat hebben ze niet gedaan ondanks de belofte om het wel te doen. Voor een dergelijke overnachtingsprijs mag je denk ik een kamer verwachten die niet vol met vliegen zit. Erg teleurstellend.

härlig medeltida borg!

På alla sätt bra ett hotell, vänlig och hjälpsam personal med bra läge i gamla stan. i denna gamla borg har man försökt att trots renovering och anpassning för hotellländamål ge en känsla av den historiska plats det är. Fina utomhusterasser fmed utsikt ör en fika eller ett glas vin. Man kan gå upp i tornet för änne bättre utsikt över staden och omgivningarna.

Uppskattade särskilt att det fanns kuddar 50x60 cm och inte bara hårda långa \"kuddkorvar\" samt att man till frukost kunde få personligt gjord cappucino liksom att det fanns cava för den som ville ha det.

Beware

Excelente ubicación me alojé por dos noches. A solo cinco minutos a pie de los cafés. Una advertencia. La mayoría de los cafés cierran para la siesta a las 4:00 p. m. y abren a las 8:00 p. m. Pero qué experiencia tan maravillosa. El hotel era un castillo en funcionamiento lleno de historia. El personal es excelente, no tengo quejas. Mientras estacionaba mi automóvil en el hotel, esperaba pagar 12 €, ya que su sitio web decía 12 € por estadía. por 24€ en lugar de 12€. Como debería haber dicho 12€ por día. Argumenté que el sitio web decía por estadía, la recepcionista aceptó de mala gana 12 € y dijo que esto se cambiaría en su sitio web. Pero esto no echó a perder a mi esposa y me quedé, una parte de ese 10/10. No hay precios en el mini bar en la habitación. Tomé una foto del contenido del mini bar cuando llegué y justo antes de irme. Nunca uso ninguno de los contenidos, pero siempre tomo fotos solo en caso de disputa.

Excellent location stayed for two nights. Just a five minute walk from the cafes. An advert. Most cafes close for siesta at 4:00 p.m. m. and open at 8:00 p.m. m. But what a wonderful experience. The hotel was a working castle steeped in history. The staff is excellent, I have no complaints. While parking my car at the hotel, I was expecting to pay €12 as their website said €12 per stay. for €24 instead of €12. As I should have said €12 per day. I argued that the website said per stay, the receptionist reluctantly agreed to €12 and said this would be changed on
