Parador de Jaén

Excellent hotel, staff couldn't be more helpful and friendly and lovely pool area

Nice view. Pool.

We stayed here for one night on our way back north after staying in the south. It is a truly spectacular setting and husband's satnav found it a challenge to send us up the hill the right way. However once we were there we had free parking (rare these days!) and once we were settled in our room (smaller than others we had stayed in on our trip however well planned and equipped) with a fabulous view over the hills behind. A small terrace for cold drinks and a bar snack lunch. We were a bit tired after our long drive so didn't do much after our late lunch (husband found football on TV), no tea or coffee in room but probably no space for it. We had booked half board so were dining in the restaurant. The public rooms are truly impressive, the history of the place goes back to before the 12th century. Unfortunately a big meat heavy Parador dinner defeated me, we should have stuck to bar food. Usual good Parador breakfast buffet before another long drive. Definitely worth a visit.

Stunning location. Absolute peace & quiet around pool area with guest exclusive access.

Lack of outside seating for drinking and dining

Uitzicht en stijl van een kasteel is behouden gebleven. Restaurant was prima voor een goede prijs

Niets

the staff ,unfriendly, unhelpful , the food , lunch took 45mins was tasteless when it arrived. If this is what paradors are like , we will never visit another.

Location. Pool. Balcony with the room. View.

Room had no better amenities than two-star hotel we had just stayed in. Late morning opening of pool. Disappointing restaurant food.

Location was fabulous. The views out of this world. Standard bedroom really comfortable. The pool was fabulous and very welcoming on a hot day

The food at the Paradores are poor. It was difficult to find anything to eat that we liked. Dinner opened at 8.30 pm so incredibly inflexible for those that don’t like eating late at night. It seems to be standard at paradores.
