파라도르 데 오리테(Parador de Olite)

별관에 있는 비싼 작은 방, 완전히 다른 것을 기대하지만 확실히 돈 가치가 없습니다. 우리는 Paradores를 많이 알고 있으며 실망한 적이 없습니다. 모든 일에 처음이 있는 것 같습니다.

6월의 주요 폭염 기간 동안 Olite의 파라도르에 머물렀습니다. 우리 방은 너무 더웠지만 그들은 우리를 수용했고 우리를 낮은 층의 방으로 옮겼습니다. 매우 더운 날씨를 제외하고는 식당에서 제공되는 점심의 서비스와 음식이 훌륭했기 때문에 리뷰를 남기고 싶었습니다. 서버는 세심한주의를 기울였으며 아스파라거스 스타터와 연어 메인은 완벽하게 요리되었습니다. 잘했어요!

우리는 두 세트의 내부 나무 계단을 통해 우리 방에 접근해야 했습니다. 메자닌 스타일의 거실이 있었는데 에어컨이 그렇게까지 확장되지 않아 사용할 수 없었습니다. 방을 식힐 수 없어서 불편한 잠을 잤습니다. 접수원은 보기에 동의했지만 이것이 호텔의 일반적인 문제라고 생각합니다. 다음날 우리는 Jaen의 Parador에 머물렀고 AC는 훨씬 좋았습니다! 우리는 레스토랑에서 식사를 했고 음식은 매우 좋았습니다. 그러나 서비스는 엉망이었습니다. 우리는 우리가 어떤 음료를 마실 것인지 묻기 전에 20분 동안 머물렀습니다. 젊은 남자가 빨리 우리를 구출했지만 여성 대기 직원 중 일부는 우리를 무시하는 것처럼 보였습니다. 우리는 지난 10년 동안 많은 Paradors에 머물렀고 이것이 우리가 경험한 최악이며 심각한 업그레이드가 필요하다고 말하고 싶습니다. 리셉션 직원이 매우 도움이 되었고 우리를 수용하기 위해 최선을 다했다고 덧붙였습니다.

A lovely little village with an amazing castle - the Parador. Not to be beaten. Try the veal steak. The village has character and history and is only just off of the beaten track. For us it was the perfect stop over on our journey south.

A small parador, our first. Very grand, part of an old palace. Beautifully appointed. Excellent staff, comfort and cuisine. Right in centre of medieval town. No onsite parking, but free parking nearby.

We spent a night here on a road trip back to the UK. It was a very cold and windy afternoon when we arrived and the town was very quiet, but we were delighted with the Parador's location and surrounding. Check-in was very friendly and efficient. We booked a superior room and it was very large, furnished in quality and in keeping with the surrounding. We had a very large bathroom and bed, with lovely linens. We had both dinner and breakfast in the hotel and enjoyed both. I would definitely stay here again!

A fine Parador in a beautifully adapted historic building. We had a superior room which we thought was worth the upgrade. Very spacious lounge. We had an excellent lunch at El Tubal in Tafalla, an easy 90-minute walk from the Parador. (The next day, we walked from here to Ujue on the GR1.)

We stated one night. People were great, the lounge what you expect: really nice. However the room was a bit depressing with furniture that had seen better days. The corridors with old carpets and iron lamps didn’t add to a nice atmosphere. Quite on the contrary. The village, though with a nice Snow White type castle, is deserted. Or seems to be. Hence there is not much of an atmosphere walking around. We were very disappointed. Again: not with the people, all very nice indeed.

I wish we’d had longer to stay at this Parador. It is an absolute gem! Just look at my photos. A beautiful building, nestled in the perfect setting, real Spain. We walked about the mediaeval streets. in the evening. It was very lively with lots of families and children out, even though it was cold (November). Surprisingly, the bars did not stock, a range of drinks and it was impossible to buy jerez! We returned to the Parador, where the young barman is very well informed and the bar, of course, well-stocked. We had a lovely evening and an excellent meal in the impressive dining room. Sadly, the young staff seem overstretched and the service was very slaw and I am sorry yo say, poor. I must say that they’re polite and they smile, but they just don’t seem to have the required skills or they have not been trained. Our room in the attic had a lovely view and was nicely decorated in the castle style, somewhat cramped. Perhaps as we hadn’t paid top dollar they relegated us to the loft space haha When I pulled out the plug after a bath in the evening, the entire contents of the bath, began to flood up through a drain in the floor near the toilet. Later, I explained to the young couple on reception and they seemed incredulous. I asked them to go upstairs to have a look at it. They did this, and anyway, the problem righted itself as if a blockage had been dislodged. The smell from the drain was subsequently foul. We were also extremely cold in the room. My husband who is in his 70s was told to wear another jumper. We said this wasn’t really acceptable and a huge portable radiator was placed in a tiny room. This was a great improvement. I do think the Spanish government could afford to heat the paradors to a decent level, considering the high price you pay to stay there. Also, some of the staff need extra support and training (not the young barmen, who was brilliant, really efficient).
