The room was good overall, we approached the staff on two different occassions for help with different things, and each time it wasnt easy to get the help we needed. Also, it seems that the construction on the hotel made it very difficult tofund the entrance. Even after we were checked in, there was not easy access to the main street level.

The property was lovely. The old convent was wonderfully suited to be turned into a hotel and quite centrically located. Staff was very hospitable. The amount of Roman Ruins are all around was mesmerizing.

Elegant old parador.
This is an elegant old building, showing its age a bit but charming. The maids are very helpful it you need anything. There is a nice pool. The beds are comfortable. The location is walkable from the train station, and being a small town, you can also walk to all the ruins if you like to walk. As you walk to the center, you will come across restaurants and many shops. They have extensive and convenient parking with an attendant to help.

Pros: comfortable beds, huge room, quiet Cons: sewer gas smell in bathroom, strong carpet deoderizer smell in hallways. Those with mobility issues should be aware that the elevator and the reception/dining areas are almost at opposite ends of the hotel so a lot of walking is required to avoid stairs Often the fastest way between parts of the hotel involves stairs (two here, three there, a half flight elsewhere) and the stairs are often a bit higher than modern stairs.

After a long drive, we arrived at the Parador, only to be informed that they were fixing their hot water system. It was a shock to think that there would be no hot water in February, However, fortunately, they fixed the problem. The parador is rather sparse, much like any building built to house the priests, monks and nuns. The rooms were really true to character. We enjoyed the experience, but only as an experience.

Great all around choice
Fantastic location. Extremely helpful staff. Not the best English of all time but very enthusiastic in helping and Google translates pretty well these days. Good breakfast. Comfortable bed. Nice temperature. Breakfast was good but no croissants. There's a really cool courtyard which isn't really my thing but if you're into that you'll like it. Overall I would definitely stay here again and am glad I picked it.

Ok but not the best Parador
This isn't the best Parador in Spain by a country mile. The reception staff were ok but almost disinterested in having us/checking us in. It isn't in the easiest of locations but we would recommend paying for parking (expensive - 20 Euros). We don't know whether it is haunted but in the middle of the night, one of us awoke to sounds of wailing coming from inside the building somewhere! We never found out the source. Breakfast was ok'ish. It was relatively clean.
