We were very pleased to stay at this hotel.

We have driven past on the motorway many times but did not realise it was a Parador hotel. It is easy to access but there is no traffic noise. In fact it is very peaceful as it sits about 1km away from Albacete and there are no neighbours.

The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. They spoke perfect English and this meant i did not have to try to rely on my modest Spanish.

The room was very nice, quite typical of Parador hotels in my experience...lots of dark wood, a big bathroom. The beds were very comfortable. There is a mini bar but we did not take anything. We had a long day travelling so wanted a relaxing bath and early night.

The breakfast Sun morning was amazing. Again all staff fluent in English. The order for hot food was taken quickly and then delivered immediately, before i had even opened the box of cereal. So we had breakfast backwards...hot food first followed by cereal, yoghurt, fruit, cold meats and bread. The choice was excellent, plenty of other things we could have tried if we had capacity.

The hotel was busy, and considering it is early March that suggests it has a good reputation...many different cultures and languages being spoken by the guests.

Freezing cold in the room. So so cold I was blue. . Heating set to 17 degrees. Food was cold and steak was fatty and tough. To be fair the bill was reduced. The TV’s do not work unless you have a google phone, old style should upgrade to Samsung TV’s like Parador Lerma.

The room smelled musty and the odor was not pleasant. We kept the window open and luckily it was not too cold. Otherwise, everything was OK. TV was just Spanish Channels but you could cast from your phone. I struggled with remote control but ultimately connected to YouTube.

The hotel is some distance out of Albacete so you must drive or get a taxi into the town. We did know this before we arrived. We were there for 1 night only however the check in was quick and our room was spacious and clean. We eat in the cafeteria and found the food good and reasonably priced together with the wine.

This is a convenient hotel for stopping on the motorway and it’s certainly got character. The issue is that it’s such an old building that it’s exceptionally noisy. People slamming the wooden doors, dropping the crazily heavy and bulky keyrings and scraping furniture all over the floor. Housekeeping started moving beds around just after 6.30am. (Ask for a room on the top floor)
The worst part was the food - the hotel is in the middle of nowhere so you can’t walk into town meaning the restaurant / bar is a popular choice. There is very little on the menu and it’s VERY expensive. I had lomo and chips for €17. If was about 8 chips and a few slices of cold pork. Not the best experience sadly.

Great and wonderful Parador

We liked the idea of saying in a PARADOR, Our first stay in this kind of Hotel in Spain and exceed our expectations. Great, beautiful and peaceful.
So clean everywhere, huge and classical rooms with views of the greenery. We chose upstairs rooms with patio balcony and we are glad to pay an extra 10 euros for it.Bathrooms as well are large and nice.
The hotel attention is a treat...
We went by car and you have the best of both worlds being away from town and close enough to drive few minutes to go for a visit.Chinchilla de Montearagon really close you can not miss it, leave your car there and enjoy the old little town.

It’s fine for a stay to break up a journey

We have stayed in many Paradores, this need a little love and attention. Staff were very pleasant. We had a superior room however it didn’t feel like it was. We came from the parador in Tortosa and went on to the parador in Jaen - the management could learn from these two. Still the stay served the purpose if breaking up our long journey.

Ok. Sort of.

As already stated, a bit tired and dated. Strange because it looks quite modern until you enter.
My biggest grumble was that I had to book to get the contact details and then phone ahead to let them know I was bringing cats.
Not brilliant English from the receptionist but it's not really a tourist destination and i can't speak Spanish so fair enough. Told him i was bringing two cats and would be there in a couple of hours. No problemo he says.
When I arrived im pretty sure I got the guy I'd been speaking to but he knew nothing about a phone call or cats and there were no more pet friendly rooms as they had a dog staying. I'd been travelling all day and wasn't for giving in and explained that there were four cars in the car park of a four star hotel sonot exactly busy during covid restrictions so how about some four star service. I showed my phone with details of the call I'd made and asked what other reason did he think I'd called for.
A room was found and on entering there was pet food and bowls which was a nice touch but so much for no pet friendly rooms. I'd paid the non cancellation price as I booked it within two hours of arrival so I wonder if I'd have been refunded had I not stood my ground.
For the money it was ok but shame about the extra stress after my third day of travelling with two cats.
Well located just off the motorway so fine for my purpose but wouldn't recommend it as a destination hotel.

Impeccable service overall and a lovely stay.

Loved the peacefulness of this hotel. Beautiful gardens and pool. Observed excellent hygiene standards at reception, restaurant and pool. Felt quite comfortable despite Covid restrictions. We had a small dog with us and the waiter asked the other customers if they were okay with him on the outside deck so we had dinner there. Ordered room service for breakfast. Would definitely go back! Price also very reasonable.

When is a Parador not a Parador?

Wikipedia says a parador, is a kind of luxury hotel, usually located in a historic building such as a monastery or castle. This one isn't. It is an events led hotel, a Holiday Inn without the style, a corporate bunker for weddings and conferences. The design of the restaurant and bar dates from the 1960's planned by a man who went on to work for Ikea.

It is an OK place for a stopover. It is nothing special. It doesn't fulfil the above definition, not even a little bit.
Such hotels are imperfect places, sleep disturbed with banging doors from adjacent rooms and the screech of furniture being scraped across tiled floors. There was a 20cm hair left in our bathroom sink. Nothing out of the ordinary, as those who stay in these places all the time know only too well. Its just well it supposed to be a Parador.

Rotten location, worse food

Service at this parador was nice and friendly. However, the location was terrible....stuck in a field outside of the town and near the autovia/interstate highway there was no where interesting to stroll after a day in the car (except down a seondary highway) and no where nearby to grab a bite to eat. Thus we ate in the restaurant. The food, which came to the table cold, was tasteless and overcooked. What a disappointment!

While the rooms were fine, like all of the Paradors we stayed in, the walls and floors are paper thin. We spent half the night listening to furniture (probably chairs) being moved in the room above us.

For these reasons, although the location may be somewhat convenient for those spending the day on the road, I would take the time to drive another hour or two and find a nicer location, or at least one where you can find a choice of restaurants.
