    Overall very nice

    rating29 Mar 2026

    I'll start this by saying we' ve stayed at about ten paradores and at least 50 castle/ hotels. This one is massive with commanding views for miles. We had a suite which was large and very modern in state and furnishings. With this parador that is my main issue. Overall it is very clean,modern and nice but other than the main dining room it is absent the period character you would expect. There isn't a great room, no suits of armour or heralds etc. The bar is minimalistic. Functional but minimalistic and modern. As for parking there are three choices. At the base of the castle that parking area can probably handle 50 to 75 cars. If you are staying versus just visiting go all the way to the end and turn left. You immediately have a choice to go up and left or right and down. The left choice takes you up a ramp to the parador door. You can then take a sharp left turn and go up to a tight area which might hold ten cars. If full and you have to back down that can be sporty. If you took the right hand choice it goes down slightly for about 100 yards and maybe 30 cars can park there. All parking is free. Dining in the dining room is first clasgood food,great service and good prices. Most food choices in cardona are substandard and limited to mostly bar type food,service and cleanliness standards. Again,the parador is way above this.

    Exceptional Christmas Break

    rating29 Dec 2025

    I stayed for 4 days over Christmas and was not disappointed by this wonderful hotel and their staff. The town of Cardona is a place that is probably more suited to a visit during spring, summer and autumn. Everywhere was either uphill or downhill and I had to back track 10 miles to get fuel for my car but the people I met were friendly so no harm done. I will recommend it to my friends but would suggest that a 2 day visit is probably more suitable unless you like walking. Plan to revisit in the summer. I will of course stay at the Parador and if this is a sample of the other places in the group I will be looking to visit other places in the future. Xavi Segura, Other at Parador de Cardona, responded to this review Dear Guest,Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a detailed and positive review of your four-day stay with us over the Christmas period. We are delighted to know that you enjoyed the Parador, our staff, and the warm hospitality of the people of Cardona.We appreciate your comments regarding the town’s layout and terrain, which can certainly be challenging, particularly during the winter months. We agree that spring and summer are ideal seasons to fully enjoy walking and exploring the area, and we would be thrilled to welcome you back at that time.We regret any inconvenience caused by the distance to the nearest fuel station and thank you for your understanding and good spirit in handling the situation.It is truly rewarding to hear that you would recommend us to your friends and that your stay has inspired you to explore other Paradores in the future. We very much look forward to welcoming you again and providing another memorable experience.Kind regards,The Parador de Cardona Team

    Another good stay

    rating15 Nov 2025

    Whilst this Parador maintained the standards we have become used to, the walk up the hill from the car park was a challenge. My advice is drive up the hill to deposit your luggage (there is a car park at the top if you are lucky enough to get a space). The restaurant was excellent but we noticed several errors in ordering some things, in our case a glass of wine instead of the bottle we ordered. In fairness, the staff were really friendly and obliging but it didn’t quite give the impression they were all at the top of their game. However, any minor lapses did not restrict our enjoyment of our meal, which was excellent. Xavi Segura, Other at Parador de Cardona, responded to this review Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us.We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and that our restaurant and overall standards met your expectations. At the same time, we truly appreciate your constructive feedback.We understand that the walk from the car park can be challenging, and we thank you for offering helpful advice to future guests. We also apologise for the ordering confusion regarding the wine and any other small lapses in service. While we are pleased to know that our staff was friendly and willing to help, we will take your comments into account to ensure greater attention to detail.It is wonderful to hear that despite these minor issues, you still enjoyed an excellent meal. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again and providing an even smoother experience on your next visit.Warm regards,
