“Great Parador”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Superb building on the top of a hill overlooking the town. A lovely courtyard in the middle with a chapel and a garden. The views from the Parador are extensive, over the town and the local country side. Its easy to walk down the hill into the town but was a bit of a strain coming back up in the heat!
Our room was very good but the sound insulation was sadly lacking and on our second night some thoughtful person left their TV on all night and we could hear every word.
Food - very good, but a more limited choice than some Paradors. However my partner assures me that the cheesecake with honey and nuts was the best pudding he has had in Spain.

“Exteremely enjoyable experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2011

We truly enjoyed our stay at this parador. It is beautiful, pleasant, offers great relaxation and wonderful views. Even the food was good, which is hardly a given, in Spain. For it's price it was good value as well.

“Fantastic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 August 2011

We spent one night at this outstanding Parador and highly recommend a short stay here. The building was full of period furniture and located on a hilltop overlooking the town. Our room was well furnished, very clean and I am puzzled as to why this is only a three star Parador! We had the set evening meal ‘la Mesa day la concordia’ which was fantastic and great value at 29€. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful and anyone who has stayed in a Parador will know this is not always the case. Overall a real find and should not be missed if you are in the area.

“Lovely views, historic location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2011

This is an excellent 3 star hotel. Part of a 12 century building, room was a fine size with a large bathroom (both spotless & made up daily). Fantastic views of surroundings, hotel peaceful & quiet. Tried 2 special menus of local cuisine there, both fantastic & great value for money. Service could improve slightly (more smiles needed!) but got great advice for different driving routes nearby. Recomended.
Yes, not much to see in Alcaniz itself but used it more as a base for visiting surrounding area.

“Not Worth Staying At This Parador”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2011 via mobile

The hotel is located 5 min walk away from the town of Alcaniz. The town itself is not worth visiting. There is no old town center except in plaza Mayor where the only thing left is the chatedral. Other than that the city is quite ugly.
The parador itself has an average facade, and a small museum that you can visit. The service is below standard, and everyone working in the parador has a bad attitude (reception desk, cafeteria server, and restaurant waiters).
I would never stay in this parador and unless you have no choice, you should only spend 1 day only.

Cheers, and happy travel.
