Parador de Lorca

Strange hotel really! On arrival, it's one of the most beautiful buildings and approach we've seen in a long time. The hotel has been built next to the castle and is totally in keeping with its surroundings. On arrival, the reception area is stunning and the staff helpful and friendly. However, it went rapidly downhill on opening our room door. The first thing we noticed was the curtain hanging off its rail! It's a big room with very little furniture and what there was, was a bit tatty. We were disappointed so headed back to reception to change rooms. Pretty much the same but the curtains were ok. This time the room smelt of drains! Having never stayed in a parador before, we were expecting a bit of luxury, maybe our mistake. The room was pretty basic with standard hard beds, no cushions on the sofa, no little extras. The building deserves better! Room was very clean and large but just lacking any wow factor or a hint of luxury. For an overnight stay, it's a great location and clean, just don't expect a beautiful room in keeping with the building. Fantastic views day and night

Todo perfecto, limpisimo, personal muy agradable, restaurante con una carta poco extensa pero de muy buena calidad al menos lo que comimos, habitaciones amplias.. Lo único un poco lioso llegar y demás pero por la ubicación dudo se pueda hacer otra cosa.. Nos cogimos entradas para el castillo así que finde ideal.. Ah y el spa, en perfecto estado y todo funcionando que no en todos los que he ido ha sido así.. Conclusión genial todo!!
