Paradores, Ribera del Júcar hotels

"Isa and Lola at the breakfast service were outstanding."

"The staff in the restaurant were very helpful making allowances for our limited Spanish."

"We were very pleased to stay at this hotel. We have driven past on the motorway many times but did not realise it was a Parador hotel. It is easy to access but there is no traffic noise. In fact it is very peaceful as it sits about 1km away from Albacete and there are no neighbours. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. They spoke perfect English and this meant i did not have to try to rely on my modest Spanish. The room was very nice, quite typical of Parador hotels in my experience...lots of dark wood, a big bathroom. The beds were very comfortable. There is a mini bar but we did not take anything. We had a long day travelling so wanted a relaxing bath and early night. The breakfast Sun morning was amazing. Again all staff fluent in English. The order for hot food was taken quickly and then delivered immediately, before i had even opened the box of cereal. So we had breakfast backwards...hot food first followed by cereal, yoghurt, fruit, cold meats and bread. The choice was excellent, plenty of other things we could have tried if we had capacity. The hotel was busy, and considering it is early March that suggests it has a good reputation...many different cultures and languages being spoken by the guests."

"Every part of the story was exceptional!"

"Clean. Excellent location. No aircon x"

"Cute hotel with extra small room. Street parking requires payment to non-working app or ticket booth causing stress. This is a drive-by town, not worth the stop - better to keep driving to a bigger town with friendlier people and better food and tourism choices. "

"Put into a twin when a double was booked. This was resolved on visiting reception. The double had a rainfall shower to my wife’s delight but it simply did not work! Not good enough when paying €100 euros. Will try another Hotel next time in Albacete."

"It was a cozy and comfortable place. Unique in the way it is built into the cliff. "

"ok; great views of the town, Alcala del Jucar; it is not in the town, is in another town, car is needed, no transportation available there; nothing around it, so car is needed to get food etc. Nice though, a bit pricey for what you get."
