For those used to Paradors this place will feel very familiar. For those new to Paradors this is a good start: impressive ambience in a rambling old building within walking distance to the old "camino" town centre of Santo Domingo. Rooms spacious and comfortable. Deals commonly available given the fact that there are 2 Paradors in this town. Parking on... More

The location is amazing, the Parador is located within an old pilgrim hospital. In the Hall you can feel hundreds of years of history! The service is great and the restaurant can be strongly recommendend. Very typical kitchen of the La Rioja region. The room was spaceous and clean, it was no problem to add an additional bed for our... More

It is difficult to give a parador a 5 rating but this one gets close. The bedroom was extremely pleasant although slightly spoilt by the occasional scraping sound from upstairs furniture on tiled floors, it was a good size, with decent furniture, and an above average bathroom. The breakfast was excellent and the service friendly throughout the hotel. A vast... More

Rating this Parador is a little bit of a challenge. In some aspects it was wonderful, in others slightly disappointing. Location wise, this Parador is supurbly located - right in the centre of the historic old town and next door to the Cathedral. Finding the Parador was a challenge as the streets leading to the Parador appear to be blocked... More

This is a great Parador in the historic part of Santo Domingo. Getting into the old part of town looked like it was going to be an issue however until we realised that the bollards blocking all entry point retract as soon as you approach them. The hotel is a newish building built to fit in with its surroundings and... More

Except for the wonderful foyer which is welcoming and restful for weary travellers who do NOT want to sit in their room all evening, this parador is really just a hotel. The evening meal was very good though = much better quality and presentation than any place we have eaten in so far.

Stayed here as a treat at the end of a series of long walks. I've wanted to stay in a parador for as long as I can remember and this seemed like a good time to make good on this. Unbelievably historic setting right next to the very famous cathedral. Vaulted central lobby room and hushed atmosphere lived up to... More

We booked with Brittany Ferries and got a very good deal - but still got the best two rooms in the house - spacious and attractive with interconnecting door and with balcony and view over the square. Wonderful view and worth exploring the church and tower. Food a bit unusual! Avoid the 'special' pudding and the peppers with black pudding... More

Wanting a Parador experience in Rioja we couldn't resist this one but finding it was quite difficult! Although the centre of Santo Domingo is small, traffic coming in and out is restricted by automatic sensor bollards and unless you know what they are and how to get through them it can be quite frustrating. However, once we understood how to... More
