Phenomenal, of course. Super relaxing, gorgeous ambience, an absolute treat. We ate twice in the cafeteria which was really good. Would have liked to stay a week but we'd be way beyond our budget.

Room was ok, floor was a bit grubby. Its a stunning looking building. High up overlooking Alcaniz. Bar is beautiful. Its a bit of a steep walk down & back to the town. We stayed on a Saturday night & the bars were buzzing. Plenty of dining options.

This is not about the Hotel, I ended up booking direct through the Hotel its self. I booked & paid for this hotel through Hotels.com, within minuetes of booking & paying I realised I’d booked the wrong dates, so I tried straight away to swap the dates on Hotels.com & the system wouldn’t allow me to do that, so I contacted customer services & was told I couldn’t change or cancel my booking as they had contacted the hotel & the hotel had refused my request to change cancel. I wrote to the hotel that told me I could cancel but I would have to do it through Hotel.com . My point is that I feel I was misinformed by Hotel.com and that I should have received a refund !!

Stay in a beautiful historic castle

We really loved this property. Paradores offer great value for money and some unique locations, the parador at Alcañiz is a particularly beautiful castle. Great bar for snacks and light meals. We didn't try the formal restaurant. Easy outdoor parking, short walk into town down steep drive.

Almost perfect place to stay

The Parador is a really beautiful place to stay. The views are stunning and the interior spaces tastefully designed and decorated. Staff were helpful, friendly and accommodating. The excellent breakfast included a well-stocked buffet and a la carte table service. The only criticisms I have are of the very firm beds and mediochre bar meals.

Well worth a stopover if in the area

Although off the normal tourist routes, those who enjoy staying in Parador castles and other historical Paradores will want to add the Parador de Alcaniz and the town of Alcaniz, itself, to their itinerary if at all possible. Situated in an early thirteenth-century fortress castle built by warrior-monks of the Order of Calatrava, the hotel is perched on a promontory overlooking the surrounding countryside and the historic town of Alcaniz first established during the period of Islamic rule. As usual, the conversion of the castle into a modern Parador has been tastefully done while respecting the peculiarities of the original buildings. This is most evident in the manner in which its large restaurant, bar and breakfast room have been situated at separate locations within the hotel, each offering their own, distinct historical ambience (the restaurant and bar are easy to find but entry to the breakfast room requires one to exit the hotel proper and walk up a flight of stone stairs). My wife, daughter and I found our rooms to be comfortable and dinner and breakfast well-worth taking in the hotel, rather than searching for a restaurant in town.

It is worth noting that the Parador attracts outside visitors to the castle keep, chapel, cloister, tower, and sepulchre, most of whom opt to take scheduled tours during the day. Fortunately, we found the groups quiet and unobtrusive and that the hotel offered ample parking place for its guests.

Something different

Staying in a small town instead of a major city was a nice change. The castle grounds are beautiful but simple.The tour of the historic tower was very interesting. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We also liked walking around the town. We drove from Valencia then onto Madrid. We really enjoyed viewing the Spanish countryside and the roads in Spain are outstanding.

Great stay in an historic building

Spain has a large number of very interesting cities, towns and villages. Alcaniz is not one of them. However, the Parador at Alcaniz commands an impressive view of the surrounding countryside. In addition, the whole structure of the hotel is impressive, being housed in a historic building. We found the staff very helpful. We did not dine in the restaurant as we were on a long trip and we did not want to dine late. However, the hotel has an excellent bar service which serves food throughout the afternoon and evening. We certainly recommend this hotel as the place to stay in Alcaniz.

A great castle visit

Parador de Alcaniz is an impressive and comfortable parador in a quiet village in Aragon. We used it as a stop over on the way from Madrid to the Costa Brava. The grounds are very well manicured (sitting in the courtyard and having a glass of wine is a must-do treat) and the hotel offers a storybook experience whilst being comfortable and accommodating. I recommend it for a night or two.

Parador De Alcaniz

Very good hotel to be expected of a 'Parador', probably better than most three stars. Good restaurant within the hotel and breakfast was good although extra 16 euros per person on top of hotel price. If you are an experienced gym user you will be disappointed with the gym hidden away in a little room, perhaps a token gesture to improve star rating. Local town not very touristy but if you are driving to Alcanzi using the CV10 the surrounding area is very scenic.

Well worth a visit.

Fabulous old building; hotel itself and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The restaurant served really excellent local food albeit slightly overpriced. However, the decent bottle of wine we had was good value so dont let that put you off.

The hotel sits at the highest point in the town, and although the town itself wasn't too inspiring by the standards of some other Spanish towns, the parador made a perfect place to stop after a day of touring the surrounding countryside.

Zimmer war im rustikalem Stihl aber passend zu der Lokation, allerdings ist das Bad in die Jahre gekommen und könnte aufgewertet werden. Der Innenhof ist sehr schön und man kann da sehr gut Kleinigkeiten essen oder nur trinken super Ambiente. Das Restaurant sieht super aus wie im Mittelalter aber das Menu ist schwach von der Auswahl, uns hat es nicht zu gesagt. Alles in allem ein ein schöner Aufenthalt.
