Paradores, El Bierzo hotels

"Excellent place to relax and enjoy peace in a mountain environment. "

"Hotel is in very poor ;location, far from city center and in rundown neighborhood."

"Fantastic staff, well organized. Room was clean; however hotel was noisy after 12 even. Wound be nice to have a coffee maker /small kettle or sorts in the room. "

"Great location. Clean and reasonably up-to-date. Modest breakfast in the bar. "

"The hotel is situated right above the town (kinda on the outskirts), which means that it's got free and ample parking, feels very in touch with the natural surroundings (even though it's next to the highway, which you'd never know because it's so quiet), and is spacious throughout. The highlight of the stay was the pool/sauna area! Highly recommend! There are two pools and a sauna, all of which are similar to the kinds you'll see at other Parador properties, and are wonderful. Use of the facilities is included in your hotel fee, which isn't always the case at Paradors, so I highly suggest taking advantage of it while you're there. Not many eateries around, however, so you'll likely have to go into town if you want a meal outside of the hotel. We did breakfast, which was a bit expensive for what you got (~20 euros per person), but convenient and fine. We stayed here for three days while we explored the area and took half day trips out to other spots, and it was a perfect hotel for that, too. Finally, the price of the room per night was more than affordable for what you got. I recommend staying here if you're in the area."

"Central and perfect in every way"

"Amabilidad en todo momento."

"Check-in took some time as there was an elderly couple in charge that seemed more interested in watching TV. The rooms were OK and you could get a beer of coffee at the bar, but that was it. Restaurant not open for evening meal or breakfast. I think we were the only guests, so the place was very quiet. Luckily the local town had many facilities that we used for eating & socialising. Not the best stay of our trip, but good if you only require a room. Looks as though this was once a busy, popular hotel that has lost its Mojo."

"The staff is more than excellent. The location has no luxury but is clean and easy to park. No complains. Nice little river behind the hotel. Interesting roads to explore in car around the hotel. Noise outside was very little, good place to rest when traveling by car."
