“Modern Parador that sits sensitively within a medieval village”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 November 2011

The Parador and the medieval village are well worth the visit. The Parador appears reasonably modern in construction, many of the rooms look out over the plain below. Our room had an excellent view, was a little larger than "normal", was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was well equipped and more than met our needs.

The staff were very helpful and cheery - questions were handled with a smile.

The medieval village provides interesting walks and an insight into some of the history of Spanish royalty. It is not large and is relatively untouched by modern tourism which made for a pleasant change. This is not a village full of restaurants, bars and tourist shops - it is one that conveys a different pace of life.

We enjoyed sitting on the verandah of the Parador watching the sun set - magic. The dining room service and food quality was our only disappointment - but after many dinners in Paradors we had adjusted our expectations - acceptable food without delivering anything special. The food quality could be improved. Thank heavens for the breakfast buffet, which like many other Paradors is a better experience than dinner.

Overall, an enjoyable stay.

“poor service”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 November 2011

A group of us (6 in total ) arrived at this Parador on the 9th October for a 2 night stay, we had asked for parking on our reservation request as we were on a total of 4 motorbikes, on arrival we were advised that there was no parking available, after some 'discussion', we were advised that we could park outside the hotel, the views from the bar/restaurant terrace were great but getting served with a drink was slow to say the least, for the most part we had to go to the bar and order them and take them to our table ourselves, when you could actually find a member of the bar staff to serve you! Service in the restaurant was also very slow, food was fairly good, there were approx 6 menu in English, so many people had to wait for menus, breakfast was good but slow to clear tables. The Parador itself was very nice and the medieval town well worth the visit, also sells lovely home made chocolate.

“A very nice parador in a spectacular medieval town”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We had stopped briefly in Sos del Rey Catolico a number of years earlier on our way to Olite. This time we decided to stay, and glad we did. The parador was actually nicer then we recalled, built in a style that perfectly fit the medieval town in which it is located.

The rooms were comfortable, attractively painted with good views of the countryside, particularly from those with a balcony. While the restaurant itself was not in itself special, the terrace outside was comfortable with nice chairs and space to enjoy the sunshine. Dinner was particularly good, the best of the five paradors we stayed at during this trip. Every dish was well presented and very tasty. The buffet breakfast was as at other paradors - a wide selection including a few local items, excellent quality and choice.

Sos del Rey Catolico is a fascinating compact medieval village, although without restaurants, shops etc. It is also a short drive to nearby Siguesa and approx. 45 minutes to Pamplona, through beautiful countryside.

Parador de Sos del Rey Catolico is an excellent choice as to a place to stay should you be in this part of Spain.

Room Tip: Higher floors will provide better views of the countryside.

“We loved it!!”

Both the Parador and the town of Sos del rey were beautiful. Although the Parador is a relatively new build it has been built in keeping with the medieval town.
A wonderful stay and one of the best Paradors that we have visited.

“Best parador we've stayed in”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Paradores can be 'uneven' in the their quality of service, we have found, but this one is very good. We arrived somewhat jaded from a long drive but the welcome from the girl on reception was wonderful and we immediately relaxed. In fact all the staff were good. This is one of the old paradores sitting high up looking out on wonderful views in every direction, and it has been beautifully converted and furnished. We had a Junior suite which was large and comfortable with views in two directions.

The restaurant is good and the staff are attentive - not always the case in paradores. We had a good dinner and an excellent breakfast.

Recommended.
