“I left my heart at Parador Caceres”

We loved everything about this hotel! The reception staff was outstanding and offered 5+ star service. They went out of their way to accommodate our needs and offered it genuinely. The room we were in was very spacious. Every nook and cranny along the hallways and lounge was decorated elegantly. They even have a guest salon with a computer, fireplace, sofas and TV. The breakfast buffet had a wide selection of cold cuts, bread, pastries and dietary options to choose from. The hotel is on top of the hill but it's only a 7-minute walk down to the Plaza Mayor where all the restaurants and shops are. Traffic is restricted uphill. You need to give your car registration to the hotel staff beforehand so that you can be allowed to drive up. It's best to park at the city center and cab it (about 6 minutes) to the hotel, which is discounted if you're a hotel guest. To get a cab from the city center, you'll need to call in Radio-Taxi Caceres at 927 212121 / 927 242424, otherwise you'll highly likely not to get one easily.

“An Immersive Experience in Quaint Setting”

We only stayed for one night, on our way from Andalucia to Madrid. The drive up into the old town area went through some narrow streets (not too bad as compared to Arcos!).

We only stayed for one night, on our way from Andalucia to Madrid. The drive up into the old town area went through some narrow streets (not too bad as compared to Arcos!). The Parador situated right in the smack of the old town centre makes it a special base to explore the area. You get to enjoy the peace and beauty after daytrippers have left, and in the wee hours of the morning you get to experience the quietness of an ancient town. This Parador is a little diffferent from the one in Cuenca, it feels more modern (although also converted from lodgings of aristocrats centuries ago), perhaps due to more modern renovation of the place. Less rustic than the one in Cuenca. Breakfast sprrad good, but lesser than compared to the ones in Cuenca. Service from the reception team was excellent and conmendable. Very much an enjoyable stay. A good choice for traveler who wants to stay in the old town area. Also, a stone’s throw away is the Michelin Three Star — would have tried had we knew this!

“Posh Parador.”

Some Paradors are better than others and this is definitely one of the best. It is situated in the centre of the old city at the top of a hill and is a 14th -century castle which has been superbly restored, Our bedroom was large and sumptuously furnished with a separate sitting room and a huge bathroom that boasted a bath, a Jacuzzi and three showers! The staff are very helpful and pleasant and the food is amongst the best you will get in a parador.

“Difficult and discouraged”

If I could rate this a 3.5 that would be more like it. Firstly, if you follow GPS you are bound to get lost. We used car GPS first then phone GPS and both took us in the wrong direction. We booked our room through Thank You points so did not get a confirmation from hotel, which may have had better driving directions for arrival. Thanks to one kind soul at reception he told us to get to Plaza de Santa Clara on the far east side of old city and call. We did and he came and got us and we followed his van in. We got the last of 8 parking spots at 3:30 pm on a Sunday. The room was lovely and spacious. The hydro tub was enjoyed as we were soaked to the bone in rains that night. Hotel did not have available umbrellas and when I asked for one I received a very unpleasant smack of one (only one) umbrella for the 2 of us on the desk with a gruff request for room number. We then tried to find an open tapa bar but being Sunday at 5 most were closed. We had not eaten since 9 am. We tried the “bar” and they only offered chips. The hotel website offers room service but that I found out was unavailable at 8 pm when the restaurant opened. So, I did a first, I ordered McDonald’s Uber Eats and one hour later we had food delivered to the hotel entrance. As others have said, the public spaces are not super warm and inviting. I can see how wonderful the courtyard is during peak seasons. We had a few cleanliness issues as seen in photos also. All in all I think the city is charming but not a whole lot to do. I would suggest getting a taxi in if you stay the night. I’m rating hotel low based on attitude of most of the staff except for the kind man than escorted us in for which we did not get a name. Breakfast was just OK too.
