We stayed in the Parador Hotel in Ronda from 6th to 8th November 2007. The hotel was good, the room excellent and the staff very helpful. Checking in was very efficient and we parked in the hotel car park at a charge of 17 euros per night ( a little expensive). We had been informed to reserve a superior room, which we did and were met by a view over the complete countryside. Excellent recommendation.
The room was large, clean and 'airy' with high ceilings. The bathroom was larger than expected and well stocked with towels etc.
Breakfast was included in our package and again the choice and quality was very good. We then tried dinner and again the food was different and to our liking. The staff were very attentive.

The hotel is in the prime location and the aspect is unbelievable - actually quite frightening if you look down !! We stayed in a duplex suite which was very spacious and had amazing views. The hotel was modern and rather plain. Breafast was ok. The service was fine, however nothing like what a great establishment delivers.

Excellent Hotel. Park your car and walk to to town. Ask for a room with a view of the gorge! The extra money is well worth it. You will want to spend some time just sitting on your balcony enjoying this view. Country vistas, steep hills. Fantastic, but not a place for children. Would be bored. Definitely an adult place if you love small towns, history, slow fascinating walks, exploring tiny streets filled with lovely shops, long lingering meals with tapas, wine... You must not be in a hurry here. I would suggest at least 2 days here to relax, unwind and breathe in the real Spain. The hotel restaurant is ok, but there are many, many, restaurants to explore in the town. The Bullring is fascinating. The oldest in Spain. Worth the visit. Lots, of little churches, just beautiful.
When you do leave get a car and roam the countryside around this area of Spain. You will love this if you like exploring the small villages and what I call the real Spain; out of the way places. Fantastic area of Spain. I would go back in a heartbeat.

The parador at Ronda has a magnificent location and view. The building is also nice, but our room disappointing. Old furniture, crappy view (of front of hotel), defeinitely not 4+ star. Towels for the pool are complementary, but the pool is very small and very cold. At poolside you do have an amazing view of the Ronda bridge though.
