This is the second time I have stayed at this hotel. Both times, the staff has been very helpful and hospitable. The rooms are okay sized in comparison with other European hotels. The hotel is nice and it is also very clean.

The location of this hotel is wonderful. It is about a ten minute walk to Plaza Mayor and about a one minute walk to the bus station. It is close (2 minutes) to Campo Grande (a very green, beautiful, and relaxing park).

I only have good things to say about my experiences here at this hotel and recommend it for people who desire to travel to this wonderful city.

Valladolid is a beautiful small city. I Spent 3 nights in this hotel. A small single room overlooking the rear of apartments with washing strung between windows. The room was adequate but it had an abysmal shower and the wood laminate floor was cheap looking. The hotel itself is quite modern looking with a bright foyer. Not the friendliest welcome at the desk by the two lady receptionists. There is a nice small bar which a very pleasant bar person Ana was working. Negatives - The breakfast was a suprise to be charged 9.20 euros for a Coffee and bread roll with cheese. The coffee was awful and as I was the only person at breakfast I assume others new this as well. Apart from the young lady in the bar the staff were not at all nice. I did not eat at night here. There was no wireless internet access available only a common computer for guest usage which had no printer attached. Positives- Location good a short stroll to town centre. Close to railway and taxis. Price (apart from breakfast) was good value. Its a OK hotel for a short stay not a place to take your spouse for a romantic getaway but would suit business people fine.

The Parque Hotel is conveniently located near the bus and train stations. The area is hardly Valladolid’s prettiest, but convenient for those travelling by public transport (the World Heritage cities of Leon, Salamanca, Avila, Segovia and Burgos are all easy day trips from Valladolid). The old part of town is a straightforward 15 to 20 minute walk, mostly through the city’s main park.

The hotel occupies a modern 9 storey building on a busy thoroughfare, rather monstrous from outside, but pleasant enough once inside. My room, looking onto some sort of inner courtyard, was quite a decent size, if somewhat plain, and rather dark, even when the midday sun was hitting strong outside. Rooms looking onto the street are surely brighter, probably noisier too. The bathroom was nice and well appointed, despite the ridiculously tiny bathtub, better used as a shower. The room came with air-con, and satellite TV with plenty of local and international channels.

Buffet breakfast was fantastic, I thought, while I was helping myself to some delicious peach juice and trying to decide what to have next. That is, until a waitress asked for my room number and kindly explained that my rate (booked through a discount website) only included continental breakfast. I was then shown to another hall where I was served one croissant, two bread rolls, one glass of orange juice and some coffee. Still, pretty decent.

Service was correct at all times.

All in all, I found the Parque Hotel not a bad place to stay, if hardly fancy. Good value for money if booked online through a discount website.
