“Great Parador in easy walk to old town”

Very good Parador close to old town and bullring, which is definitely worth a visit because of its structure. Excellent staff, good view, lovely grounds, swimming pool and good food in restaurant.Highly recommend

“Cool Valentine Stay”

Comfortable hotel with good service, average food and absolutely no valentine decoration; too cool hotel for us maybe because its too modern and not as the usual paradores are. Anyway we enjoyed the luxury, the service and the clean room

“Ok but nothing special”

My first time in a parador and was a little disappointed. I expected something more than a standard run of the mill (I seem to remember an official 3 star) hotel especially considering the price difference between this and other hotels in Antequera (parador was at least 2 times the price of others). Overall it was fine; the room had enough storage space, the bed was comfortable, the bathroom was well equipped. However there was a really odd ‘light switch’ next to the bed. It wasn’t a light switch but a switch to turn off the power in the room. I sleep with a small piece of medical equipment which was plugged in on my side of the bed. My partner thought he switched the bedside light off but inadvertently switched off the power and therefore also my medical equipment. This really needs to be pointed out by the hotel; it’s certainly not a normal feature and could be dangerous. Overall the hotel would benefit from a refresh… for example the bedroom floor was very scratched where the chair under the desk had been dragged across it many times, the window shades were looking shabby with peeling paint. The swimming pool area and garden were nice and peaceful and offered lovely views over the mountains, and was the only place we could access the wi fi. In room connection was impossible, and for the last 24 hours we were there it didn’t work at all. I saw a tired receptionist tell a guest ‘it doesn’t work and we have no idea why nor when it will again’. The main reason we chose to stay here was for the apparent easy access to the station (Antequera AV or estacion ciudad as the locals call it). Looking on Google maps it shows a 15 min walk but from what we could see, and no one could tell us otherwise it is impossible to walk to the station due to the road layout. The receptionist told us they thought there is an underpass, but couldn’t tell us how to get through it, so we took a taxi each time we went to the station which somewhat voided the reason we stayed here. Location wise it’s close to the bull ring, and about a 20 min walk into the old town.
