Hotel Palafox
Hotel Don Jaime 54
Staff were very helpful. Parking was easy just a few 100m from the hotel entrance. It cost us 25 euros to park for one 24 hour period, but we knew this in advance because the hotel let us know. I think we could have got a discount if we had booked the parking in advance with the car park company ...
