    We loved staying at Parador Alarcon for a night. The town is very interesting, and staying at the Castle felt special. Everyone was very kind, the views were incredible, and we had a great breakfast. Could not ask for more!

    Dinner at the parador was just average, though, and a bit pricey.

    Fabulous location , free parking ,cosy rooms lovely staff.

    One suggestion to of more bar snacks or casual dining to book.

    It was fun to stay a night in the castle

    We did not care for the onsite food. It was 5 star cost for 3 star service/reception. We don’t speak Spanish and this was our problem but most of the staff spoke little or no English.

    10JasonPosted on: 11-21-2024

    Okay, so this is a spectacular location. The views are breathtaking. The castle is gorgeous, the town quaint. The canyons all around make it a real island. The breakfast is incredible, as is the dinner. I was looking for a room that would make me feel like I was staying in a medieval castle. This castle hits the nail on the head. I was enchanted from start to finish. I stayed in a small room in the tower with a curved ceiling. If you want a bigger room, choose the junior suite or a room not in the tower. Free parking right outside. Ask for the key to go up on the battlement, the views are out of this world.

    Can’t think of any way to make it better. Perfect from start to finish.

    Everything. The whole experience of staying in the castle keep in room 103 was fanrastic. The restaurant food was excellent and Pilar, our waitress, gave us exceptional service.

    10PaulPosted on: 10-21-2024

    Superb location in the beautiful and historic village of Alancon with its Banksy like amusing murals on many of the village houses. Other facilities also around the village.

    No walk in shower. No evening dining before 8.30 (typical and usual Spanish culture) But not helpful for those who don't (or can't) eat late. No accommodation for disabled parking adjacent to the hotel entrance. Its a sensitive sight but could be done with some thought.

    Authentic castle with the good facilities in the historic town. Great for leasure

    The soundproofing could be better. All the noise from the room upstairs were heard in our room.

    8PeterPosted on: 8-13-2024

    The location, the rooms, the view from the top.

    Unlike other Paradores, the breakfast here was not a buffet where you pick the food yourself, instead you need to ask the waiters for everything and ... wait.

    10KenningPosted on: 7-23-2024

    The breakfast was really good, the location in a castle was the best, I like that you could see the original walls of the castle, I just wish we could of seen more rooms in the castle, the bar and restaurant were really neat to see the walls and the ceiling.verry quaint out in the middle of nowhere.

    I could not stay there longer.

    9MargotPosted on: 5-5-2024

    Beautiful setting. Excellent WiFi. Fantastic breakfast.

    10LutherPosted on: 5-1-2024

    Amazing facility! Small castle above a lake. Easy parking and wonderful staff.

    N/A. Loved it all.

    8MichaelPosted on: 4-2-2024

    History and architecture. Staff were very friendly, helpful and went out of their way to ensure we had a great stay

    The room was a bit warm to sleep in and nothing we did with the room thermostat appeared to cool it down.

    10FionaPosted on: 1-10-2024

    Arriving at the Alarcon village was like something out of a story book with the castle being the main character. It was such a treat to stay in a building so beautifully preserved. The staff were very friendly, the rooms were cosy and warm and the food at the restaurant was excellent. If your budget allows it, book your stay in the tower for the whole experience. Alarcón is a pretty village with a selection of restaurants and bars.
