Impressive property, large room and nice bathroom. The restaurant and bar were understaffed and the gentleman at the front desk was particularly unfriendly, unhelpful and dismissive.

My family and I have stayed at dozens of Paradors in all regions of Spain over the years and have very much enjoyed their character, service and restaurants. My adult daughter and I were very much looking forward to visiting the Parador of Plasencia as part of a trip to Spain in places our recently deceased wife and mother loved in memory of our 46th wedding anniversary and her birthday in October. Unfortunately, during a time of great personal stress, I erroneously made a scrolled booking on the Hotels.com website for two rooms for September 3-4, rather than October 3-4 [all of our other bookings were for the first two weeks in October]. Unfortunately, I only discovered the error when I received a “time to check in” notice from Hotels.com. I spoke immediately to a very kind Hotels.com representative who contacted the hotel to rescind our reservations but the only individual authorized to grant approval was unavailable. She left a detailed message and later followed up but the hotel insisted on charging for our rooms. Although they were within their right to do so, I am very disappointed that they weren’t more flexible, especially at a time in which I’m sure they could have rented the rooms to other guests.

Lovely location and super hotel Disappointed with the serving staff here Enough people just not organised

Good old style hotel.Staff is good.Do not book restaurant- they can set you in hotel’s corridors for dinner in chance)))). Good stop for one night. Parking is perfect.

Difficult place to find - more signs needed, basic menu and unfriendly lady in charge of breakfast.

Very nice hotel and the immediate surroundings were great. The only problem was the parking it was a nightmare at times.

The hotel is a lovely old but very comfortable ex monastery. Unfortunately the parking for the hotel is in another street via a lift and is chargeable from the hotel.There is street parking around the old city walls which is free. It can be busy though.

We only stayed there by chance but we found it the highlight of our trip. Excellent

Lots of character. Helpful staff. Great location. Parking which is difficult in the old town.

Always a pleasure to stay in this beautiful Parador with its great facilities including swimming pool & secure parking as well as it’s close proximity to the central square.

The hotel could be slowly recuperating the Covid interruption. Service was short and not as efficient as the parador of Gasteiz

M-A-R-A-V-I-L-L-O-S-O

Wonderfully restored convent in the center of historic Plasencia. Parking is a bit quirky with a self-serve elevator for your car, but worth the 13 euro

Fabulous building and installations, an old Dominic Convent from XVII Century, restored and beautifully decorated . Rooms are modern and clean full of amenities. Breakfast buffet is abundant and staff is very friendly. Location is next to very old medieval constructions, walking distance to main square and magnificent cathedral.

Why my stay at a hotel when you can stay in a castle? Paradors are wonderful in general but this is my favorite so far! Opulent, historic and quiet, the food is exquisite and the service impeccable.

The history behind this hotel was very interesting and what a beautiful place to stay. Brought me back to the 1500’s. Only wish they had coffee and tea in the rooms are in the lobby for guests.

What a wonderful surprise Plasencia turned out to be. The old city/fortress with its narrow cobbled streets and small shops selling local products is charming, quiet, beautiful. The old monastery is fascinating, very well preserved. Many of its updates interfere very little with the sense of the place: the glass doors that divide areas, for instance, that divide spaces are very thoughtfully placed.

Historical building with modern amenities. Situated in the old part of town and easy to get too.

The Parador was exceptional, the rooms were large and spacious. It was like going back in time it was truly relaxing and a great place to be stress free.

Very much in character with the culture and history of Plasencia...An inspiring place to stay

Lovely building but third floor room was small with very small windows. Car park very challenging especially with a big car. Plasencia is a pleasant small city but not a lot to see.

Very nice and friendly place. We were very pleased.

We have stayed in many paradores over the last twenty years, some good, some bad and some indifferent, but the Parador de Plasencia has been by far the best. The high quality of the parador, the comfort, size and quality of the room, and especially the staff who were outstanding, so welcoming and helpful.The Parador itself is a fantastic building with great architectural and historical features and a tour of the place is essential. There are so many interesting things to see in the Parador, which was built as a monastery in the 15th century.The uniqueness of the car park just adds fun to the stay. The car park is accessed via a lift, which is certainly different for us, but fun. Dont worry you have more room than you think in the lift. We were driving a Hyundai Santa Fe and we had plenty of clearance.The location is great, being a five minute walk from Plaza Major, the centre of Plasencia, which is a very pleasant town with good restaurants. The Parador, being set back from town, is very quiet, which is welcome in the morning. This was the first time we stayed here but we shall definitely return.

Amazing staff, food and the best breakfast bufe ever!

We have stayed in many Paradors over the years, the bedroom we were given this time was not as good, it was small and quite dark. The Parador itself is impressive and includes underground parking which is absolutely excellent.

Hotel was awesome, staff were very friendly and helpful, will definitely stay again

I loved it. Staff, except on reception, could have been more pleasant. Our lowest priced accommodation was very good. The dining room at 2040 was empty, but did fill slightly. Dinner was very good, but served at breakneck speed which I did not enjoy. Pool area only accessible with a key from reception, only 3ft deep and no bar. You could avoid the €13.00 parking fee if you trust your GPS, but would miss the experience of driving the car into a lift. Should note that the town closes on Sundays, but bars and restaurants are open as well as the farmacia. I would most definitely stay again.

Amazing hotel full of character. Car parking was different Through a portcullis into a car lift which was very narrow but certainly an experience. The room was large & very comfortable though very small window so a bit gloomy. Outside of the hotel lots to see & very convenient for shops, bars & restaurants

Fabulous overnight stay at the Parador driving up from South of Spain to Santander. Perfect location just off main road, very easy to find and lovely little town to spend some time around. If you love staying in character hotels, this place an old monastery full of atmoshphere and we loved it.

Very impresses with atmosphere. This is a renovated castle . Very authentic. Good food.

It's lovely to be able to stay in these old buildings and they have been converted so well.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in amazing setting, restaurant to be recommended and wonderful ambience there. A definite must for another visit to Spain.
