El Bierzo hotel guide. Paradores hotel in El Bierzo, Castile and León

"Excellent location, clean and friendly staff"

"Terrible stay- has bed bugs! Got bitten and saw loads of them crawling around. Don’t stay here "

"The hotel is situated right above the town (kinda on the outskirts), which means that it's got free and ample parking, feels very in touch with the natural surroundings (even though it's next to the highway, which you'd never know because it's so quiet), and is spacious throughout. The highlight of the stay was the pool/sauna area! Highly recommend! There are two pools and a sauna, all of which are similar to the kinds you'll see at other Parador properties, and are wonderful. Use of the facilities is included in your hotel fee, which isn't always the case at Paradors, so I highly suggest taking advantage of it while you're there. Not many eateries around, however, so you'll likely have to go into town if you want a meal outside of the hotel. We did breakfast, which was a bit expensive for what you got (~20 euros per person), but convenient and fine. We stayed here for three days while we explored the area and took half day trips out to other spots, and it was a perfect hotel for that, too. Finally, the price of the room per night was more than affordable for what you got. I recommend staying here if you're in the area."

"Good place to stay on the Camino for it’s closeness to the castle and having an actual bathtub."

"Good staff and service"

"Amabilidad en todo momento."

"The staff is more than excellent. The location has no luxury but is clean and easy to park. No complains. Nice little river behind the hotel. Interesting roads to explore in car around the hotel. Noise outside was very little, good place to rest when traveling by car."

"It was one of topical business hotel. The location was not so great. It is very far from city center."

"A slightly odd place. It’s not like a standard hotel. Each “room” consists of a garage with a typical hotel room above it, you drive round and into your private garage, close the electric door and go up a private stairs to a small landing outside your room, there is a door into the overall building but this is for staff only. Guests always come and go via their garage. The hotel doesn’t provide any food or drink options but within a few minutes walk is a 24/7 motorway service station with a very nice cafe servicing good quality and value food. There is also a small shop attached. It was a very convenient and secure parking for our motorbikes and overall a pleasant stopover. "
