I have stayed at the other Parador in Santo Domingo de la Calzada previously and I had thought I had booked that one so I was a little confused when I tried to check in and was told I was in the wrong Parador. However, when I arrived at the correct Parador, which is just a few hundred metres from the main square, I was pleased with my mistake. What an impressive place, absolutely beautiful and much nicer than the one in the main square. The check-in was excellent, super helpful chap on the desk and the breakfast was, as usual for a Parador, superb. If I can stay here again on another trip I will.

Nothing.

The breakfast was outstanding. Interestingly they had white and red wines and bubbles available with breakfast. The room was spotlessly clean. Dinner was delicious with a carefully thought out menu including regionally sourced food, produce and wines. Perfect luxury treat on the camino.

The room was quite a walk away down several long labyrinth like corridors. It felt as if they had given us the room furtherest away. Also dinner was not onsite but a walk to the main Parador near the town square. Considering we had already walked 30km that day it was challenging.

Special thank you to Dario at the front desk and Ana from the kitchen for their very professional attitude, helpfulness and friendliness! It makes such a difference when you're so far from home to have a friendly welcoming face where you are staying!

There was a particularly rude older woman working at the reception desk when I arrived, who made me feel very uncomfortable and unwelcome from my first messages. I would like to suggest she finds a job that helps her to enjoy life a little more...or at least learn something from her colleagues Dario and Ana about the importance of professionalism and attitude in tourism.

Lovely room in a beautiful building, good staff, comfy bed , a mountain of freebies/toiletries - brush comb, toothbrush , razor all provided as well as usual stuff.

No kettle or any hot drink making equipment at all in the room - the staff did say I could go and get a jug of hot water from them at the front desk when we wanted it. It would make more economic / practical sense to provide a kettle that we ended up buying for EU 15.00 and not dishing out all the brush / combs/ razor / toothbrush /paste etc that really each customer isn't going to need as you bring your own. Perhaps have those at reception as a request item. I gave all my stash to a homeless person in Valladolid the next day No secured parking - just 'on street' public parking.

Gorgeously preserved historical building. Definitely a must stay if passing through Santo Domingo de la Calzada. We knew it was an old historic building but was surprised it was actually an old Franciscan monastery (our favourite Order as far as Orders go :) Wonderful for history buffs and comfort-seekers alike. Breakfast buffet plus ala carte (must have the cafe con leche, served classic style, very strong with delicious hot milk you can adjust proportion to your liking) was amazing in the delightful dining room, which was oddly cheery (in a good way) despite the rich surroundings of antiquity. Highly recommended!

There was nothing we didn't like per se but maybe a little more voluntary (and more accessible) information about the history of the building and rooms around the Parador building.

Very nice hotel in an old convent. Many of the original features were kept. The front staff was friendly and helpful. Our room was large and clean.

The air conditioning was turned off for the season, so we had to have the windows open to cool the room. The location is very close to the main square, so it was quite noisy at night. The party outside goes on until 3am.

We stayed for one night while walking the Camino, so this was a treat for us. It is a beautiful historic building , the public spaces in the hotel are very good. Our room was very comfortable, great bed linens and toiletries. Breakfast was very good.

The property was very rustic and beautiful. the rooms were a nice size and very nicely done.

I was disappointed that the front desk lady would not help me call the transfer company when I was having trouble connecting to them. Also there is a retirement home connected to the property and someone kept moaning and yelling loudly throughout the afternoon into the evening. Somewhat uncomfortable. But the property was lovely. that’s just being very honest and real.

Fabulous hotel! Such luxury. A great Parador, and extremely good value.

There is no catering there apart from breakfast, so we couldn't even get a drink before going out for dinner. Not a problem as there are lots of places in town a couple of minutes walk away; but we hadn't realised. We might possibly have gone to the other Parador if we had known.

This is a lovely old building and the standards of upkeep and maintenance are very high. Bed very comfortable. Gorgeous building.

We didn’t sample the breakfast because it’s 18 euros per person when you can get a good breakfast for 4 euros just down the road. You may hear some strange sounds from the hospital next door but there’s no doubting that this is a beautiful building and is looked after very well.
