Parador de Zamora

In all my years travelling through Spain to Portugal and back , the reception staff have to be the friendliest and most agreeable, helpful I have ever encountered in Northern Spain , which I’ve found to be more hostile than hospitable, they were absolutely Brilliant 10/10

The Renaissance Palace in the Romanesque City of Zamora, the Parador has a medieval atmosphere that provides a contemporary hotel experience. The warmest greeting was received by the hotel manager at reception, very welcome after a long journey. The hotel staff were attentive, polite and informative, ensuring our stay was memorable. Room 112 was beautiful, however, it was noisy being located on the Plaza. Wi-Fi connectivity was not great but was adequate for an overnight stay. Breakfast was good, with good options reasonable for an establishment of this type, although service was strained due to a stressed member of the waiting team.

Absolutely fantastic location and easy to access by car. Great guy on desk gave us 3 parking options and we chose the parking meter just beside the hotel. €2.10 every 3 hours bit the weekend was completely free so a win win situation for me. The pool and attendant were a mist for me and really nice to get in a mile or so in the pool in the afternoon followed by a bit of sun. Hotel bar was nice on the evening prior to going out. We opted to go to local cafes especially the theatre cafe in the morning for breakfast. Absolutely loved Zamora

We stayed in a junior suite overlooking the lovely square in the old part of the Parador. Wonderful and spacious corner suite with beautiful rooms with period furniture. Comfortable beds. Lovely marble bathroom. Sitting room with comfortable sofa and armchairs. Very good tea and coffee facilities. Very friendly reception especially the elderly gentlemen who took time to give us very useful information about wonderful Zamora. The palace, which locates the hotel is very impressive with beautiful courtyard.

The Parador de Zamora is a fantastic hotel, set in a refurbished medieval building, in the true Parador style. Excellent location, and great service from friendly and helpful staff. Excellent breakfast on the terrace overlooking the garden and the swimming pool (yes, bring your swimsuit). Reasonable price for such a great hotel.
