1 night stay
The hotel is some distance out of Albacete so you must drive or get a taxi into the town. We did know this before we arrived. We were there for 1 night only however the check in was quick and our room was spacious and clean. We eat in the cafeteria and found the food good and reasonably priced together with the wine.

Positive surprise
Above expectations. We knew of the great location and good swimming pool but were surprised by warm, efficient service. The reception person (quite sorry I did not get her name) rushed our check in so we can have a few minutes at the swimming pool before closing time. Quite appreciated in the sweltering heat. Restaurant was good, a little bit on the expensive side.

Classic Parador hotel with clean, comfortable rooms. Setting was a little remote (car required) and next to a military airfield. Some rooms had balcony/ terrace, some didn't. Wouldn't recommend the ones without as they were a bit dark and cold.

This is a convenient hotel for stopping on the motorway and it’s certainly got character. The issue is that it’s such an old building that it’s exceptionally noisy. People slamming the wooden doors, dropping the crazily heavy and bulky keyrings and scraping furniture all over the floor. Housekeeping started moving beds around just after 6.30am. (Ask for a room on the top floor) The worst part was the food - the hotel is in the middle of nowhere so you can’t walk into town meaning the restaurant / bar is a popular choice. There is very little on the menu and it’s VERY expensive. I had lomo and chips for €17. If was about 8 chips and a few slices of cold pork. Not the best experience sadly.

Great and wonderful Parador
We liked the idea of saying in a PARADOR, Our first stay in this kind of Hotel in Spain and exceed our expectations. Great, beautiful and peaceful. So clean everywhere, huge and classical rooms with views of the greenery. We chose upstairs rooms with patio balcony and we are glad to pay an extra 10 euros for it.Bathrooms as well are large and nice. The hotel attention is a treat... We went by car and you have the best of both worlds being away from town and close enough to drive few minutes to go for a visit.Chinchilla de Montearagon really close you can not miss it, leave your car there and enjoy the old little town.

It’s fine for a stay to break up a journey
We have stayed in many Paradores, this need a little love and attention. Staff were very pleasant. We had a superior room however it didn’t feel like it was. We came from the parador in Tortosa and went on to the parador in Jaen - the management could learn from these two. Still the stay served the purpose if breaking up our long journey.

Dear Anne: We appreciate your review and that you have shared your comments about the Parador de Albacete. In this Parador, not being a landmark building as Castles or convents, the difference between standard and superior is only the size of the room and the terrace. For this reason the difference in the rate is very little from standard to superior. We hope to see you in October as you told us at check out. We are at your disposal for anything you may need. Best regards. Juan Pizarroso. Reception manager.

Ok. Sort of.
As already stated, a bit tired and dated. Strange because it looks quite modern until you enter. My biggest grumble was that I had to book to get the contact details and then phone ahead to let them know I was bringing cats. Not brilliant English from the receptionist but it's not really a tourist destination and i can't speak Spanish so fair enough. Told him i was bringing two cats and would be there in a couple of hours. No problemo he says. When I arrived im pretty sure I got the guy I'd been speaking to but he knew nothing about a phone call or cats and there were no more pet friendly rooms as they had a dog staying. I'd been travelling all day and wasn't for giving in and explained that there were four cars in the car park of a four star hotel sonot exactly busy during covid restrictions so how about some four star service. I showed my phone with details of the call I'd made and asked what other reason did he think I'd called for. A room was found and on entering there was pet food and bowls which was a nice touch but so much for no pet friendly rooms. I'd paid the non cancellation price as I booked it within two hours of arrival so I wonder if I'd have been refunded had I not stood my ground. For the money it was ok but shame about the extra stress after my third day of travelling with two cats. Well located just off the motorway so fine for my purpose but wouldn't recommend it as a destination hotel.

Lovely traditional hotel
I stayed only one night, a stopover on the way home to Almería from the ferry to Bilbao. The hotel was spotless and I was impressed by the care staff took in these pandemic times. My ground floor room was spacious, very comfortable, with a view over the wooded garden to the pitch and putt course. I had a tasty dinner in the cafeteria, Served by friendly staff. Breakfast was substantial and again with excellent service. I shall stay here again.

We received excellent service from this Parador in Albacete (and indeed in all four that we stayed in) while travelling from Moraira to Santander in our electric car. The hotel had a cable ready for us to recharge our car upon arrival. The room and balcony were excellent and we enjoyed a lovely meal on the outside terrace in the evening. Impeccable service overall and a lovely stay.

Loved the peacefulness of this hotel. Beautiful gardens and pool. Observed excellent hygiene standards at reception, restaurant and pool. Felt quite comfortable despite Covid restrictions. We had a small dog with us and the waiter asked the other customers if they were okay with him on the outside deck so we had dinner there. Ordered room service for breakfast. Would definitely go back! Price also very reasonable.

When is a Parador not a Parador?
Wikipedia says a parador, is a kind of luxury hotel, usually located in a historic building such as a monastery or castle. This one isn't. It is an events led hotel, a Holiday Inn without the style, a corporate bunker for weddings and conferences. The design of the restaurant and bar dates from the 1960's planned by a man who went on to work for Ikea. It is an OK place for a stopover. It is nothing special. It doesn't fulfil the above definition, not even a little bit. Such hotels are imperfect places, sleep disturbed with banging doors from adjacent rooms and the screech of furniture being scraped across tiled floors. There was a 20cm hair left in our bathroom sink. Nothing out of the ordinary, as those who stay in these places all the time know only too well. Its just well it supposed to be a Parador.

A lovely old style Spanish courtyard garden hotel with tiled floors, wood and leather. We stayed one night to break the drive north but wished we'd stayed longer as we didn't get to enjoy the pool or the gardens.
