We love staying at Paradors - and were delighted to see that some now allow dogs. But the hotel was unfortunately not very a dog friendly; even though they charge 30% for a dog to stay! They provided a bed and bowls and even a can of dog food; which was very kind. But, they do not allow dogs in any part of the restaurant or the main very large foyer where extensive table and chairs were available. So, we could not even have breakfast! They did say that we could use the table and chairs outside the bar by the pool. But it was raining most of the time, and it was wet and muddy. Re cleanliness. Our rooms were OK. But the bath / shower need more attention. It had black mould in various corners; which is very off putting

Although the property portrays itself as dog friendly, you are not allowed in any inside communal areas to relax, there is a small outside space which is not very welcoming or comfortable to sit with your dog. The chairs are metal with no cushions. Part of being in a Paradore is to relax and take in the surroundings. We pay the same and a bit more to have our dog with us, but we are not able to have the same experience. Would be nice to have areas inside and by the pool cordoned off so that pet owners can enjoy also.

Location and ambiance. Breakfast very good. Provided a dog bed, bowls and food for our dog. Staff very nice and helpful.

Couldn’t help but be impressed with the building

Dinner poor quality and value for money. Noisy Aircon in room

The bed was not very comfortable. Creaking every time you moved. Furnishing needs an upgrade along with paintwork on wardrobes . It would benefit from tea and coffee making facilities in the room.

Loved the historical building with the beautiful internal patio. The food from the cafeteria was very good and service with a smile. We got parking outside the door for only €4.50 for 24 hours with a coupon from the hotel. Great proximity to the centre of Zafra.

Lovely location

Smell of sewage in our rooms. We traveled with another couple and they had the same issue.

Front desk people were very friendly and helpful. Being able to visit the towers. Courtyard was nice.

Dining experience was difficult for my vegetarian wife. We wished we had eaten in the bar but did not realise that was an.option until we were already seated in the restaurant

Location excellent. Parking was immediately outside entrance and at 5 euros for 24 hours an excellent price. Character of parador as good as expected. Helpful and welcoming reception. . As with most paradors we loved the character and sense of history. Excellent room The courtyard coffee area was lovely.

Love staying in the paradores unique buildings

Parking directly in front of the Parador is public, no private parking available, no problem in low season

Historic building with charm, friendly staff, large rooms, good food at the restaurant

I do not understand why so many hotels prepare beds so that to get in you must destroy all the layers and then put it back together again in a sensible way. It would certainly help if they used fitted bottom sheets but even still there has to be a better way.

What can be better than staying in a former castle! The overall parador is outstanding, of course, though the individual rooms are not much better than any high-end hotel. The restaurant is superb, which is a general feature of the Spanish paradores.

Historical building 600+ years old. Friendly staff. Good dinner. Great value

Stayed in February 2024

Being super critical ,we were there over Christmas and their restaurant menu was a little limited and my wife is more vegetarian which limited her choices more

All of it fantastic building and location. Great staff

Stayed in December 2023

The double bed was actually two individual beds put together, which makes it quite unconfortable.

The staff, the location and the breakfast were great. It is a perfect hotel to spend some days in the area.
