Parador De Alcañiz

This is not about the Hotel, I ended up booking direct through the Hotel its self. I booked & paid for this hotel through Hotels.com, within minuetes of booking & paying I realised I’d booked the wrong dates, so I tried straight away to swap the dates on Hotels.com & the system wouldn’t allow me to do that, so I contacted customer services & was told I couldn’t change or cancel my booking as they had contacted the hotel & the hotel had refused my request to change cancel. I wrote to the hotel that told me I could cancel but I would have to do it through Hotel.com . My point is that I feel I was misinformed by Hotel.com and that I should have received a refund !!

Beautiful place. Friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was very good.

Just sit in your room and enjoy the fantastic view.

We really loved this property. Paradores offer great value for money and some unique locations, the parador at Alcañiz is a particularly beautiful castle. Great bar for snacks and light meals. We didn't try the formal restaurant. Easy outdoor parking, short walk into town down steep drive.

The Parador is a really beautiful place to stay. The views are stunning and the interior spaces tastefully designed and decorated. Staff were helpful, friendly and accommodating. The excellent breakfast included a well-stocked buffet and a la carte table service. The only criticisms I have are of the very firm beds and mediochre bar meals.

Amazing property and being in a castle we felt like royalty. Excellent dinner and wine.

Staying in a Paradore should be hugely memorable- this was not terribly special. The reception and wait staff were less than gracious.

Loved the Parador si

Beautiful historic buildings set atop the town. Everything you’d expect of a Parador

Stunning place with well appointed rooms. Very helpful and informative staff.

I love the Paradore concept to preserve architectural and historical beauty, while people can enjoy it as well as a hotel and restaurant.

Although off the normal tourist routes, those who enjoy staying in Parador castles and other historical Paradores will want to add the Parador de Alcaniz and the town of Alcaniz, itself, to their itinerary if at all possible. Situated in an early thirteenth-century fortress castle built by warrior-monks of the Order of Calatrava, the hotel is perched on a promontory overlooking the surrounding countryside and the historic town of Alcaniz first established during the period of Islamic rule. As usual, the conversion of the castle into a modern Parador has been tastefully done while respecting the peculiarities of the original buildings. This is most evident in the manner in which its large restaurant, bar and breakfast room have been situated at separate locations within the hotel, each offering their own, distinct historical ambience (the restaurant and bar are easy to find but entry to the breakfast room requires one to exit the hotel proper and walk up a flight of stone stairs). My wife, daughter and I found our rooms to be comfortable and dinner and breakfast well-worth taking in the hotel, rather than searching for a restaurant in town. It is worth noting that the Parador attracts outside visitors to the castle keep, chapel, cloister, tower, and sepulchre, most of whom opt to take scheduled tours during the day. Fortunately, we found the groups quiet and unobtrusive and that the hotel offered ample parking place for its guests.

Beautiful hotel on top of hill looking over town. Lovely courtyard for a drink and excellent breakfast. A memorable stay

Beautiful renovated building. Room and view were lovely.

A castle on a hill,superb. Easy to find,close to town. Lovely garden patio, a great place to stay

We loved the ambiance of the property and everything that went with it. The only criticism was the food, we didn’t expect to be offered the same menu two days running

We loved the castle. The tour guide, Fernando, was interesting and very well informed- we peppered him with questions about Spanish history. Spectacular building and views, lovely dining room.

Awesome hotel. An old palace set on top of a hill over the town of Alcaniz. So much character and wonderful views. Gorgeous!

We have stayed at other paradores, always enjoyed the experinece

Excellent place to stay
