This was a very modern Parador which did not fit in with the surroundings. It was almost too new-agey. But the location was excellent and the parking was easy, it cost 16 euro. The pool area was very nice and there were several young families there. We only stayed for 1 night because we were catching a flight from Barajas the next morning. I am glad we stayed in Alcala versus going back into Madrid because it was very easy to get to the airport from here.

Hotel is quite nice, but we visited in summer when it is quite hot and our room AC never got the room cool enough to sleep under the covers. No matter what we did the room stayed between 76-78F, 25C (not awful, but not easy to sleep in either). They sent the maintenance team out our second day after we asked for diagnosis and they told us everything looked normal and to be patient for it to cool, but it never cooled and now we are leaving. Unfortunate since the hotel is very nice otherwise.

Perfect stay
Great stay, close to restaurants, historic places, and the center of town really, so the location is perfect.
The room was big and comfortable, the shower amazing, great water pressure after a hot day. Nice air conditioning to refresh and great service overall. Highly recommended!

Highly recommend beautiful and great location
I love this hotel and have stayed multiple times. It’s close enough to walk to everything but not in the fray so it’s quiet at night. Definitely recommend! There is a wonderful breakfast buffet also!

I was surprised that a hotel of this caliber had no tea bags, coffee or way to boil water in the room. There was a cafeteria which had a very limited selection of foods— and they weren’t very tasty. Otherwise, since it’s Spain, one had to wait till 8:30 to eat dinner. I was constantly hungry here as it was hard to find anything to eat. I got tired of ham and cheese chunks for dinner! It was z big of s walk to get z simple bottle of water. The place is impeccably clean but has absolutely no charm or atmosphere.

This hotel is housed inside a well preserve historic convent. is recommended and while there one is able to feel the past glory of Alcala de Henares.
The room arrangement is somewhat of a labyrinth and also requires a lot of walking and using different elevators to access different parts of the hotel.
Don´t count on public transportation. We wasted too much time waiting on trains and buses. Ubers are readily available but $45 to get to Madrid or the airport.
