Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“It a unique and elegant historic four start hotel set in the old town of Alcalá de Henares, a UNESCO World Heritage city and the birthplace of Miguel de Cervantes writer of “Don Quijote de La Mancha”. The Parador occupies restored 17th-century convent-school buildings, including the former Dominican Collegiate-Convent of Santo Tomás de Aquino. Paradores has had a presence in Alcalá since 1930, when a student hostel opened, and the current hotel expanded in 2009. The Parador’s spa is located beneath the vaulted ceilings of the old convent church, creating a unique and relaxing atmosphere. Facilities typically include thermal circuits, hydrotherapy pools, massage treatments, sauna, and more — ideal for unwinding after sightseeing.”
“The front desk was helpful throughout our stay. In particular, Mercedes was really amazing. The rooms are large, clean and quiet. There’s a small fitness center. The center of town is a five minute walk.”
