Fantastic view over the city of Toledo

The Parador is on the other side of the river Tagus than the old town. We took taxis into the tourist area which were not expensive.

La ubicación del Parador inmejorable, las instalaciones muy buenas y el desayuno genial. La habitacion muy cómoda.

No hay nada que nos disgustara.

Easy parking, beautiful location with view of Toledo, lovely terrace for tapas and cocktails, comfortable room.

Crowded with many tourists.

The hotel’s historic charm and its beautiful views over the city of Toledo.

This hotel is located on a hill a few miles outside the centre of Toledo and affords breathtaking views of the city from its restaurant and terrace. The city, its many historical and cultural sights as well as its shops, bars and restaurants are easily accessible by taxi,which takes about 15 minutes and costs 10 Euros. The hotel itself is modelled on a medieval convent but was actually built in 1968, so it combines architectural character with modern comforts and amenities. Our room was spacious, light, comfortably furnished and tastefully decorated. It included a large balcony with rattan chairs and a table where we could sit with a glass of cold beer watching the sun set over the city. We also had a view of the swimming pool and gardens. The hotel staff are friendly, helpful, polite and efficient, but never instrusive. We dined in the hotel restaurant on three occasions and the food was as consistently excellent as the service. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay in this memorable hotel and we would not hesitate to recommend it to others.

Even though the weather was excellent with temperatures in the mid 30sC, the swimming pool remained closed and the sun loungers inaccessible throughout our stay. Apparently summer does not start until early June in Spain, whatever the weather! More irritating still were the bar arrangements. There was a huge outside terrace, with just six small tables, which overlooked the city skyline. Unless you were lucky enough to occupy one of these tables (always in demand), you could not get a drink on the terrace. You weren't even allowed to buy a drink at the bar and then take it outside yourself. This rule was more irritating than efficacious and simply generated resentment and frustration. Finally, the hotel's distance from the city and its amenities inevitably discouraged us from booking dinner in one or more of its many excellent restaurants - inertia prevailed and the hotel's restaurant became our default position. Mind you, that was no hardship!

A fantastic hotel. Amazing views and outstanding staff.

The pool wasn’t open until June!

The restaurant and room were great. View of the city is spectacular.

Sadly, the experience in the tavern was bad on two consecutive nights. I understand that things are slower in Europe, and in particular in Spain. That said, we were ignored by wait staff and did not receive items that we ordered.
