Parador de Sos Del Rey Catolico

A pesar de que tanto el servicio, la ubicación como el desayuno fueron muy bien y acordes a las expectativas de un parador, la habitación no cumplió dichas expectativas, y más después del precio de la misma.

A beautiful little town in Spain. The residents make such an effort to trim up the town and make it so festive. They even pipe music through the streets. A magical experience. A fabulous parador. Superb restaurant. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Parking is restricted in the garage underneath the hot. I think they had 5 spaces. We have a large 4x4, Bay 5 is the only one ours would fit in.

Lovely parador in historic location. The rooms were wonderful and the location is incredible. We had the breakfast and it was superb.

A very comfortable parador with a wonderful balcony as part of the cafe. The hotel fits in well with the surrounding historical hilltop village.

We have stayed here a few times and every time it does not fail to impress, the staff and local are very friendly and welcoming with its views across the valley with the beautiful building large comfortable rooms and with a great breakfast, we love it and well worth a stay.

Hotel is not a vastly historic one but the building is pleasant and the rooms very much what you would expect in a 4 star hotel. Free parking is much appreciated. Now given the options for a meal are limited in the village, expect the hotel dinning to be busy. We had to book, not only to eat but we had to negotiate the time. We found the menu almost whimsical, with no clear distinction between courses. We were not allowed to see the sweets menu until we were needing it: so no chance of selecting a balanced meal. The staff appeared to walk quickly and be busy but I concluded it was inefficiency in action. Gaps in service throughout the meal and asking for some vegetables which never arrived was almost comical. With no server consistency it was left to the maitre d to spot the gaps and to prompt service. He appeared to earn his wages and was working very hard; sailing against the tide of motivation and inefficiency. On paying the bill, we pointed out to the waiter who took the order that we had not received the vegetables. His reply was a single comment that he had told the chef! This service was not repeated at breakfast time as it was a buffet. The food here was good and DIY service satisfactory. Other matters need to be addressed. The staff on reception were unwelcoming. Luggage can be dropped outside the door but the car has to be left in a lower car park. However the lane is narrow and the only real space to turn around was filled by the hotel's own minibus. I therfore had to back my hire car down and around the bend. The minibus should be removed and the space left to do a 3 point turn. In summary, the place is pleasant enough but management needs to get a grip, it could be so much better
