This hotel cost substantially enough to expect a cup of coffee or hot water, a Bistro - nothing. No facilities a upper class hotel such as this would normally have. Lady at reception told us... we can complain as much as we want, it will not change!!! We will never consider this hotel ever and we will tell everyone of our experience

Two reasons to visit this charming hotel on the Pilgrim route are the attractive town and the superb restaurant in Villalobar which is only about 6-7 minutes drive. We hope to visit the Parador again.

Parador de Santo Domingo was an unexpected gem!

Went during pilgrimage and loved this Parador. So close to everything and so quaint. We did the Camino de Santiago, St. James original, and without knowing, this was on the Camino. Loved seeing all the Peregrinos. Staff was super friendly. Left my adapter in last hotel, and they even had a US adapter for me. Will definitely be back when I do the Camino.

Beautiful place to stay.

Beautiful old convent with amazing art & architecture. We did the half board (breakfast & dinner). Breakfast was great, dinner was just ok. The dinner was at another location but it was a 5 minute stroll so not an issue.
We asked for ice the first night and got it no problem. The second night we were told it wasn’t possible to get ice. When I pushed back we got ice. Weird.

We really loved the little town and would go back.

Gorgeous hotel

Love every moment of this hotel stay. Inside is like part church part historical landmark, with lots of museum level art work, and one of the comfortable bed and room I've stayed anywhere. Entrance to hotel isn't distinct, but once inside, place is wildly fascinating and staff very friendly. Parking off street is abundant and free, easy walking distance to town center, musical venues, laundromat, and convenient stores. Since town is small, not ideal for long stay, but there numerous cute small villages to explore, including Haro, which is capital to Rioja and home to many restaurants featured in Michelin guide, like Nublo, just 19 minutes away. Spa services available at their affiliated location just 5 mins away. I can't wait to stay here again.

Lovely Parador in 16th Century convent. Room was excellent. No restaurant on site but only a short walk in to town, which has some good bars and restaurants.On site parking was limited, but plenty of parking in nearby streets which felt safe. Would stay again

Great hotel. Paradors always are. Amazing rehab of old church and convent into the present hotel. Staff was nice and it was historic yet clean and up to date. My one wish is that it had A/C. But we enjoyed our stay.

Really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful building, stately rooms, where you seem to go back in time. Enjoyed the view over the courtyard.
We went to the other parador for supper, would have preferred to have the option to stay at our own parador, but booked knowing that this wasn’t an option - we felt the atmosphere was worth it, and were not wrong.
Good breakfast, although the coffee was disappointing.
Friendly, courteous staff, an absolute pleasure to stay here.

The Parador Santo Domingo Bernard de Fresneda is a great example of how Spain has preserved and made ongoing use of its many historic buildings.
On the positive side, the hotel is beautifully appointed with wonderful public spaces and an excellent comedor (restaurant).
On the negative side, the old plumping system in the building gives off a very strong unpleasant sewer odour in the guest bathrooms - each bathroom being fitted with an exhaust fan. The reception staff are efficient but not very welcoming.

Luxury on the Camino

We treated ourselves to one parador while doing the Camino. What a treat it was! The bedding, the room, the bathroom were all gorgeous. It is right in the heart of Santo Domingo de la Calzada so we had a chance to walk around in the evening and explore. We didn’t opt to eat here - meals seemed expensive after the pilgrim accommodations and meals along the Camino.

Elegance and grace

Staying at a Parador is almost always a treat. The room was excellent, good lighting, comfortable chair and a very comfortable bed. It may have been off season, but there were few people in the bar or at breakfast. The breakfast was excellent as promised and not at all crowded. My eggs were perfect.

Really beautiful and convenient. Wish we had a larger bed! Advertised queen was only a full. Our first nights sleep after 2 days of flying was not as good as we had hoped. Otherwise , a wonderful experience with amazing breakfast and great local ambience. Short drive to great wine region

5 Stars!

Both Paradors in Santo Domingo are stunning, you can't go wrong! We did the Camino de Santiago and made sure to stay a minimum of two nights in each town with a Parador because they are such a special experience.

Parador in Santo Domingo de la Calzada

Really impressive building. Public rooms downstairs are castle-like. Our room was spacious and comfortable. The location of the parador is right at the beginning of the cute town, Santo Domingo de la Calzada. Highly recommend. When you book be sure to say whether you want meals or not. A lot is added to price for meals. Didn't remember seeing an option online, but nice counter people at parador contacted hotels.com and they reduced the price to reflect our needs.

hotel in old monastery

The hotel is in the old monastery. This adds a nice \"old\" feeling. The room and hotel interior are decorated in the appropriate style, and generally hotel is well kept and staff was friendly and can speak English well. The only problem for us was that there is no air conditioning anywhere including rooms, and it was not a pleasant temperature in early September, so sleeping was difficult.

The other parador in Santo Domingo

This parador is in a beautiful old building about 500 metres from the centre of Santo Domingo which is a very comfortable small town with a beautiful old section and pleasant newer
additions in the middle of la Rioja with good food and amazing wine. You can't eat or drink in the parador but it's a very short walk to many places you can, including the other parador - and parking is much easier. No reason not to choose it and enjoy both.

No air conditioner.

This Parador does not have air conditioner in the rooms. We did not notice until we went into the room. Please verify the description as, since they do not say that it has airconditioner as part of the room ammenities, they will not refund your money or cancel the reservation if not within the time frame. There is another Parador in this town with a similar name that does have air conditioner for €10.00 more a night.

Parador St Domingo Bernard

Lovely hotel full of atmosphere and character. Lovely large room huge beds and very clean and comfortable. Pleasant helpful staff.

Difficult to find as its on a roundabout and you have to park on the pavement to unload and then drive around the corner to park. The car park is not signed so you have to park go in and ask. A description on the booking form would really help here.

The restaurant was a beautiful room but, very expensive, over 100 Euros for an indifferent meal with wine for 2. We had been in Spain driving for 10 days and this was the dearest by a long way. We would have eaten out but it was Sunday in a very quiet town so we had to eat there.

Having said all that we would stay there again
