It is always a treat to stay in one of the Parador hotels. It was very quiet which was nice and the rooms were very comfortable. The breakfast was good, and a good value for the cost.

The staff who checked us in could have been just a bit more friendly and welcoming. It was all very business-like and transactional. I realized it was a bit early in the year but it was unseasonably warm, and it would have been very nice to have the pool open, since it did advertise having a pool. It would have managed my expectations better to know that it was not going to be open even though it was listed as an available amenity.

Our first experience of a Parador and we are very happy to recommend! The welcome from the receptionist was warm and genuine. As we were on a driving holiday, this was a one-night stop-over on our journey further north and west. So, a bit of an unknown destination. The parador location is out along the river from the old town of Tui, but there is a peaceful riverside walkway leading directly to it and it is well-worth it for a an hour or so's stroll. A bit of a sleepy, hidden gem when we were there (on a Sunday morning) but gradually, as locals filed out of church and into the cafes, life filled the streets and lanes which are lined with heavy granite buildings, not dissimilar to towns in Cornwall or Scotland. Directly on the Camino, the parador and Tui itself were diverting discoveries for us and much appreciated.

The building is very beautiful and as booked, we had a wonderful view to the river Minho. Beds were very comfortable.

At arrival, we were informed that breakfast should be scheduled and that only after 8:45 a.m could we get a place. As pilgrims, walking the Camino Portugues, it would be impossible to have breakfast before departure. We got no message about breakfast schedule preferences before arrival and it turned up down our plannings for the early departure. We also had to book a table for dinner, which was available only after 9:00 p.m. (to late for pilgrims!!). The rigidity of the staff proved wrong since we simply walked in the restaurant at 20:20 and got a table (the restaurant was nearly empty all through the evening). The restaurant was not worthy the value they charged.

Lovely traditional hotel, room was lovely, breakfast was very nice, great to have a pool also. can walk into the town easily.

The bar closes early which was unfortunate because my friends and I wanted to have a few drinks together at night. Also we were attending a wedding and I needed an iron a couple of times. they only have one iron in the hotel and when someone else has it there is no way to get it. the receptionist didn’t know which room had it. surely a hotel can invest in more than one iron - they are not expensive.

Comfortable and lovely location overlooking the river. Rooms very spacious with good bed. Restaurant served delicious food

The bathroom was enormous but looking a little tired with signs of damp in the brickwork and mould in the grouting of the shower. There was a bath with shower which could have been a separate unit given that the room itself was enormous.

Clean, spacious bedroom, with a lovely view of the river. The hotel is right along the Camino. Breakfast was great; a very good selection of nice food. The tv had a chromecast, which was really handy.

We found the bed pretty hard, but I know that's a matter of personal preference.

Great location as you come off the bridge from Valenca. Beautiful building with old world charm in lobby and upstairs rooms. Friends downstairs had more modern looking rooms. Rate a bit less in value as we had to walk a 1/4 mile to get dinner. We are on the Camino and that’s a bit far when tired. Their restaurant opens at 8:30pm. Yes, we know Spain has late dinner, but 8pm seems more reasonable.

8:30pm rather than 8pm dinner

Large spacious room and bathroom. Lovely grounds. Staff very kind and helpful. Walking distance to historic center. I thought Paradors were in such former buildings as castles, forts, or monasteries but this Parador apparently was an old country home.

Gorgeous grounds, beautiful view, decent restaurant.

The room was a little dated. Still comfortable and very clean, but I was expecting a bit more of a luxury vibe for the price.

This was our first stop in Spain after walking the Camino from Porto. The hotel is beautiful and close enough to the old town to make walking there, even for tired hikers. We had a very good lunch and they opened for a cup of coffee the next morning so we had some fuel for the next part of the Camino. Also the contrast between the size of this place - which I think was part of the Spanish defense - with the fortress in Valenca was stunning. One side was a lot more threatened than the other.

Nothing
