We booked this hotel as part of a three night trip to paradors in Cazorla, Ubeda and Jaen during our summer holiday in Andalusia. Unfortunately there was no warning on the website that there were major building works in the square in front of the parador and some of the surrounding roads, which made for a lot of noise. There... more

Simply gorgeous! We had one of the larger rooms on the ground floor, very spacious, with two doors leading to a small patio. The lobby turns into a happy bar during the afternoon. The staff is extremely friendly, especially compared to other paradores. The parador is located in a main square surrounded by renaissance monuments (you'll hear the church bells... more

Well located in picturesque square, trimmed with orange trees. Ideal for peacefull walks through the cobbled streets. The staff were helpfull, we were well looked after during our stay. Our room was clean, comfortortable and generally well appointed with a historic feel. The room also had an attractive verandah. We were a little dissapointed with the restaurant in its presentation... more

Despite booking our room in April 08 (7 months earlier), we were allocated a very basic room which was small and opposite an entrance to the rooms which proved quite noisy. We complained immediately and though staff apppeared willing and helpful, we came across one very unpleasant woman in reception who said it was a standard double room and she... more

We had planned to book Jaen but based on other reviews switched to Ubeda - great choice. The parador itself is by normal criteria spectacular however fans of historic paradors will have stayed in more impressive buildings - but the combination of the building,its location & Ubeda itself ranks it right up there for me. our room 132 was great... more

This was a beautiful hotel. We had a lovely room with 4-poster bad and hangings; we loved the beautiful open courtyard even though it was too cold to sit outside in January; and the restaurant was excellent with the best dessert we had in Spain. Using the Golden Days plan we paid 125 Euros for room with breakfast - the... more

The Parador may not have the best setting of all the Paradors (although it is undoubtedly lovely), but it's by far the friendliest I've stayed at. The restaurant Maitre'D was charming (smiling at customers and giving approving winks to their choice of dishes from the menu); the waiters/waitresses were friendly and solicitous; and the food was very good (olive oil... more

We couldn't make up our mind about staying at Jaen or Ubeda. So we booked one night in each place. The Jaen Parador is nicer than the Ubeda Parador, but the town of Ubeda is much nicer than the town of Jaen. Not that you can call Jaen a town. Jaen is a city. Ubeda is a little place with... more

We stayed at 7 paradors during our 3 week stay in Andulasia and in general found them to be comfortable and often grand in location w/ stunning views. This parador is certainly well located (although somewhat difficult to find from the highway) and in a historic building, but it did have one drawback. When we entered the room there was... more
