Parador De Arcos De La Frontera

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.

Arcos is a peculiar hotel located atop a cliff on the highest part of town. Do not try driving on the towns narrow streets. Call the hitel and get directons to the remote parking area. Beautiful town and many bars and restaurants to choose.

Beautiful former palace with incredible views from terrace. Front desk staff were not very welcoming compared to other hotel properties we have stayed at. I booked a Mountain View room and when I asked about it the Staff person just said “No” with no other explanation. We received a nice size room but no view whatsoever.

Excellent location in the centre of ARCOS

Fantastic one night stay. Check in was professional, prompt and smooth yet very friendly and informative thank to the lovely Juana. Room was so clean that you’d happily walk around barefooted. Room was also spacious with plenty of light coming in on the windows that could be closed by stylish wooden covers and thick curtains as well for a good night sleep. Beds were extremely comfortable, bathroom and wardrobe well equipped for a homely feel. Breakfast we hesitated to book due to price, eventually booked and it was well worth it. Service by catering staff (lady in her 50s, lighter colour hair elegantly bundled up) was exceptionally friendly. We had the most delicious ham and egg omelette with pisto on the side. Other food selection was also great with wide variety. Terraces and amenities are great, the hotel has a great elegant vibe, which made us consider to always choose paradores hotels in our future stays across Spain. Highly recommend it to couples and families alike!
