Parador de Alarcon

Very renovated, comfortable, and the staff is very attentive and helpful. There are still some details to address, like removing so many rags from the rooms, using key cards for room access instead of those keys that weigh 300 grams, and improving accessibility to the reception, as there are two flights of stairs.

The Parador was well signposted and there was a large car park in front of the building. Check in was quick and pleasant and we had two rooms overlooking the Torre de los Alarconcillos. The rooms were a great size and wifi worked well. The downsides were eating in Alarcon - even at 9PM the only restaurant we saw open was the Parador itself although that didn't start serving food until 8:30PM. The town was pretty with some beautiful walks along the gorge and we are already planning a longer stay, using the parador as a base to do some hiking. Breakfast was wonderful, a mix of buffet and cook to order. Overall the staff were great, the room was wonderful and the setting and views from the keep roof just awesome. A fantastic stay.

Poor; the food was quite average for a roadside inn. The waiters were unfriendly, as if they were doing you a favor; it's a shame in such a beautiful place like this....
