We had read many reports about access to the property if you have a car….so we parked at the bottom of the hill in a large enclosed multi storey car park and called for a taxi to be dropped off at the Parador. If maybe you have a small backpack or small wheeled case you may enjoy the long walk uphill in the heat….dont let this deter you. The staff were extremely friendly and advised us that they have a special rate for the car park so gave us a voucher code. The room had a large terrace and the hotel is a “ classic” parador so antiques here and there and this one surprisingly had a tea kettle so was able to make a drink.

Lovely hotel. It was better than I expected. Very difficulty to drive the medieval streets to the hotel.

Excellent view from the balcony-The air conditioning could not cope with the high temperatures of summer. We managed to park our car 🚘 just outside the front of the hotel which was great

The property was fabulous, just the walk from the parking lot to the hotel is a challenge with luggage. There is no pool which is a shame but a lovely sundeck with fab views.

The property is beautiful, historic, and in the most amazing location perched on the edge of cliffs with stunning views all round. Breathtaking. Our room was really spacious and comfortable, with large separate bathroom. We overlooked the square which was quiet once the loud bells stopped for the night!! Very lovely place to stay, although we parked outside the old part in the recommended car park, and had to get a cab in which was a bit of a hassle. However, driving up to the hotel is not recommended as the streets are very narrow and not for the faint hearted or larger car!

The hotel needs a bit of maintenance. The room was not the best and the AC didn’t work well.

Just fabulous! Full of history and breathtaking views. The streets are very narrow near the hotel. If you have a wide car, beware!

No breakfast

After spending 10 days traveling around Andalusia, we wanted to end our trip in a special way. The Parador in Arcos de la Frontera did not disappoint! This is a lovely hotel with great views from our balcony. Even the taxi ride up to the property was memorable to say the least! We visited the nearby cathedral and climbed the bell tower which were both worthwhile and caught a lovely sunset from our room. I would highly recommend it!

A delightful hotel in a superb location. We upgraded to a room with a balcony and view over the countryside and enjoyed that feature. Dinner and breakfast both were delicious and expertly served.

Beautiful parador in stunning location. Extremely clean and beautifully decorated. Amazing outdoor terraces. Lovely helpful friendly staff. Large rooms - we had vourtyard biew dacing the cathedral and alcazar which was perfect - rooms to the rear gave large balconies with far reaching views. Amazing experience.

Excellent Parador. Room quality, service, food and location!

Amazing views. Friendly staff. Stay slightly over shadowed by parking issues. Have to pay an additional 20 Euro to park almost a km away made the stay a little less perfect

Great hotel amazing views

Breathtaking views from this Parador overhanging the dramatic Arcos cliff. Add to that a MOST welcoming and pleasantly UPBEAT staff, and one knows that THIS, the stay at the Parador de Arcos will never be forgotten. As evening fell: The dogs were Barking, The doves were Flying, The storks were Nesting, and WE... were Resting.

Excellent hotel with fantastic views-excellent breakfast and the staff nice and friendly would definitely recommend this hotel 🏨

Hotel was great, but city was of limited interest. Mainly other tourists.

Enjoyed our stay in this very scenic location

We used the free car park outside the town and walked up to the Hotel. no issues at all and gave us the opportunity to get our bearings. the Hotel is sited in the village square. The staff were welcoming, the bedroom was lovely and big overlooking the square. with the wooden shutters we had no issues with noise from the church bells. The breakfast was extensive and we could also order. cooked omelette and eggs. We had a drink before dinner overlooking the plains and mountains breathtaking. we choose to eat in the hotel and weren’t disappointed- we had a tomato soup and pasta dish to start( which could have served as a main) followed by veal tail and venison which were both equally delicious. we would certainly book again.

Very friendly. Room was well appointed.
