Parador de Antequera

The town was very interesting and there was plenty to see and do

A wonderful property, comfortable rooms with a great view. Staff were friendly but service was on the slow side in the restaurant. Probably needed a couple of additional staff.

Good location but restaurant disappointing. Bed too small

Great as most Paradores. Friendly and educated staff Need a car to reach, in the map it looks closer to train station but it's uphill and not so easy to get to.

Nice hotel in a very quiet place. Beautiful sights and great service.

Eco friendly. Nice decor. Had a great view of the city!

Modern stylish property, but we cut short our stay because of inadequacies in comfort, service and overall efficiency of the hotel. For example: extra hard beds so guest had to try to sleep in chair, no in-room coffee or tea, digestive illness from dinner seafood pasta, tough filet mignon for other dinner, room safe did not work and was not fixed by staff, promised a la carte breakfast menu was refused by restaurant servers who insisted only 18 Euro buffet available (meaning $20 tea and toast for sick guest!). Finding the hotel was also difficult, even in daylight with two GPS navigation systems. Inadequate street signage in Antequera. This Parador presents itself as a high-class lodging with serious cuisine, but fell far short on both counts.

We stayed at the Parador as members of a travel group that was touring Andalusia. Antequera is centrally located, providing easy access to cities and places of interest. We arrived a day ahead of the remainder of the tour group so we were able to enjoy the property by ourselves. The hotel, sitting atop a hill overlooking the countryside, is quiet and understated, blending well with its surroundings. The town, with its restaurants and shops, is a quick walk away. The restaurant offers a buffet breakfast that includes eggs, bacon and sausage cooked as ordered. Lunch and dinner were also very good, with a variety of menu options. An outdoor patio serves drinks and snacks. The entire hotel staff was very attentive and professional. A delightful young lady named Ledy was especially helpful in the restaurant. If we happen to visit the area again, we will definitely return to the Parador.

Comfortable rooms with modern furniture and everything working. The only point to improve is to open the swimming pool in April. With the global warming, weather is already hot by then, and it is a waste a closed swimming pool under the Andalusian sun.

Room small and dark. Wardrobe area all black. Linen good.No english language tv, not even bbc news channel which is usually in all hotels. No proper reading light, bedside lights very high so disturbs person in other bed if have on. Normal rooms have baths so to get a walk in shower we had to have a disabled room. Shower and sink grouting looked as if a 4 year old child had done it, not attractive. Door into room creaked very loudly and we heard others making the same loud noise. No bidet. Everyone polite and helpful but no friendliness, formal. Very quiet. Areas to sit. Easy and free carpark access. No gym, spa or indoor pool. Was fine for a one night stay.

Very disappointing to find the pool closed(although still being cleaned) when temperature in the thirties. Bar rather souless. Modern, spacious room with bath and shower. Safe. No tea making facilities. Very expensive compared with other Paradors eg Jaen.

Lovely views from the hotel. The pool area was very relaxed and spacious gardens Use of tea/coffee facilities in room would have been expected

The hotel is on the edge of town but walking distance to all the attractions. It’s clean and comfortable and the reception staff are pleasant and helpful. The bar staff were pleasant too but the service was terrible. I don’t think there were enough properly trained staff.

Parador en muy buen estado. Parking gratis, cosa que se agradece mucho. Zona de piscina muy agradable. Habitacion correcta y comoda. wifi regular. Staff agradable.

Lovely Hotel. Very clean, fresh and airy in all areas. Great views from the restaurant/breakfast area.

Very nice little hotel with easy access to the local attractions, while being quiet with a nice view of the sunset (despite two days of clouds while I stayed.) Spa on site was a nice feature, but my masseuse was too gentle - that's just luck of the draw though. Strong wifi.

Antequera is fabulous: GO! The Parador: airy, bright & done with style throughout & helpful staff. Big very comfortable rooms, great bathrooms, This Parador was purpose built, not a historical building. Driving in is easy & they have tons of free on site parking! Walking into Antequera takes 5 minutes (to the heart of the old town 12 minutes.) We originally planned to stay in town: narrow one way streets, some under construction, changed our minds. The quiet of the Parador was excellent. (Staff moved us when kids nearby were blaring car radios: thank you!) What they can improve: the parking lot had many cars but the vast dining room with huge view windows was unused. At breakfast it was quiet (no wonder considering the charge!) At dinner time only saw one couple inside. The bar is tucked into a small recess off the entry hall with zero atmosphere, no windows & staff had to be called to get a drink. Why not partition the vast dining hall with it's huge view windows & create an enticing bar area? Would've loved sitting there having drinks & snacks there but were told only those having dinner could enter (even tho from 3-6 it was totally empty & when we peeked in later, one solitary couple were dining.) Real disappointment: we loved having drinks with views in Paradores in Arcos & Ronda and I suspect other guests felt the same as the bar here was barely used. So we walked back to town for drinks & ended up staying there for dinner. Hotel is very nice and enjoyed the room!

Excellent place to stay. Very professional, helpful staff. The room was great. Location is perfect. The restaurant is lovely. A couple of the dishes we ordered were excellent, while others were fine, but not stellar. Service and atmosphere were super.

This Parador is of a modern design and is very comfortable with friendly and welcoming staff and really good food. It is a very convenient stopover if traveling across Andalusia - only 10 mins from the A92.

Very nice property. Well maintained. Beds were rock hard which was not a plus for us.
