What an outstanding property! Wow, staff was great, room was fantastic! Location in next to the cathedral! Advise you drive to front door, drop off your luggage, then park your car outside the village. Great Breakfast, buy it as there is nowhere nearby for food before 1100. Dinners start at nearby restaurants at 8PM.

Strangely my greatest gripe about this hotel was getting my luggage from my car, parked temporarily in front of the hotel after driving down a sidewalk (no I was not driving the wrong way). The luggage cart didn’t roll on the small cobblestones, then I had to roll it down a narrow incline, the it barely fit into the elevator. The room was forgettable. We didn’t stay long enough to enjoy the lobby. Parking was a little weird - down the street, put in the secret code and then wait for the gate to open. But hotel had really great location. But getting luggage to our room was difficult and what I remembered most about this hotel.

Not worth the hype
We stayed at the parador for its historical appeal. The public areas are beautiful. The rooms are a typical hotel room. The room did have two nice occasional chairs but thats really all that was different. It was not as posh as i would have expected for a 4 star hotel. The staff were curt, all about business. Not even “we are so glad you are here”. Couldnt dismiss us fast enough. Because of covid there were strict dining rules. I get it , however making a simple cup of coffee available in the morning would have been nice without the reservation for the 18€ breakfast price tag(which i opted out of). The location is right in the heart of the historic district. It was quiet so we slept well with our room with a view of the back alley.

Excellent hotel in Santo Domingo de la Calzada
We had a wonderful stay at the Parador from the moment we arrived. Check in was seamless and the room was excellent. I actually rented 2 rooms, 1 room for us and another for another couple travelling with us. I would rate this hotel with 4 stars US standard. Everyone was very helpful from the person who checked us in, the housekeeper, and the waiter in the cafe. We would definitely return and will recommend to family and friends. Thank you!

The perfect hotel.
Superb building full of history. Lovely, simple large bedroom, beautiful bathroom with the best ever shower. Dinner was perfect, food cooked to perfection and served with style. A great selection of food for breakfast. The Parador is in the centre of a very old city full of atmosphere, old buildings, lots of shops, bars and a wonderful cathedral.

Good Parador although service a little lacking
Beautiful old building right by the cathedral. Slightly dated decor but this is the style of Paradise. Good service in the bar. Breakfast was adequate but less choice than in other hotels during our holiday and it was not topped up often enough so people had to wait. This was due to not enough staff on duty. Apart from this the hotel was lovely with great places to sit and excellent bedroom cleaning staff. A couple of excellent restaurants are very close. There are two Paradores in the town - make sure you go to the right one!

We loved this place, although it was difficult to find, it was all we hoped it would be. The decor is amazing, we felt we were in an old castle but with modern amenities and comfortable rooms. We enjoyed meals at the local cafes amongst many friendly locals. There were not many tourist which was refreshing. This is an ideal central location with an easy drive to Haro and Laguardia. We made a full circle 1/2 day in LaGuardia and the other in Haro. We stopped at a couple of beautiful wineries along the way. We had a splendid time and would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting in this area.

A great parador
A lovely historic town on the Camino de Santiago. The parador is on the route itself and you can feel very guilty sitting in the shade sipping a cold beer as you know the pilgrims have 550km to go! Our large room was spotless and the maid was diligent enough to notice pills I had dropped on the floor and left them somewhere safe. There was an excellent range of food at breakfast, I could definitely recommend freshly squeezed orange juice and the tortilla.
