Parador de Soria

The hotel is situated on the old castle ruines, and sits above the town of Soria. The road up to the hotel is a great little road with a few hairpins which is fun on a motorbike. The hotel its self is quite modern and the facilities are plush. The staff are helpful and friendly and the roooms are great with individual balconies for each room with views over the town and distant moutains.

This Parador is exceptional in every way. We booked a Superior Double room instead of a Regular Double and boy, it did not disappoint, complete with a large bathroom with an oversize tub, a large living area with two big double beds and a sofa, and a spacious enclosed balcony with tremendous views of historic Soria, the Douro River and sweeping views of the valley floor below. Not located inside the historic district, in a modern building high above the city, I really did not know what to expect. Well, it really knocked our socks off, also with plenty of free parking next to a lovely park. Also, the town of Soria itself was another pleasant surprise.

As you would expect with Parador, the hotel is in a lovely setting on a hill alongside a ruined castle. Hotel offers a pleasant and comfortable stay whilst only being a 25 or so minute walk down the hill and into the centre of Soria. Rooms are good with excellent views.

Nice friendly hotel. Great staff. Although my Spanish is passable most of the staff spoke reasonable English. Restaurant was great and the breakfast was also very good.

Great view across the city from the room as the hotel is high on a hill. Evening dinner was excellent.
