The castle was absolutely stunning and the countryside was so beautiful. The accomodations on the other hand were pretty meh. The carpets throughout the hotel were disgusting. There was no AC. The sheets were made of cardboard. Breakfast was great and the staff were super nice. So my recommendation? Come here on a day trip but don't stay the night.

We loved our stay in this beautiful castle hotel. The public areas are amazing and the views very lovely. We paid a cheaper rate so the bedroom was simpler than in some of the photos but very comfortable. We loved the dining room and breakfast was fantastic. you need to have a car to travel around as there is not much in the local town though some nice shops and cafes.

The paradore is set in a beautiful castle. The courtyard, public rooms and dining room are stunning. Bedroom more simple with basic wooden furniture with nice bathroom and shower. Worth paying to look round the old church on site and take in the views from the maiden's tower. Breakfast is fantastic buffet.

Amazing place that you can see from far on your approach to it. Located on very top of big hill that tops all soundings. Very specious and nice rooms. Great restaurant (quite expensive but there are other options to eat in near town of Cardona). It is like spending a night in fairytale story. There is free parking in castle and on weekends you can expect a lot of visitors so plan accordingly.

Wonderful place, modern and comfortable inside, while keeping the basic medieval structure. Could use some signals directing walkers where to go.

The parador was really a beautiful place with a lot of charm and great views of the surrounding area. The castle had an interesting history and was well placed on top of the hill to defend it itself when under siege. The room was large with a large 4 poste bed and a good sized bathroom. The service was friendly and efficient. The restaurant was was a huge hall with large arches giving great atmosphere. The food was of very good quality and we enjoyed both breakfast and dinner. We were on a road trip and had stayed at a number of hotels but this one was clearly the best and in fact the cheapest. It was very good value for money.

This is a classic historic castle and perfect if you want to stay somewhere with real atmosphere. It’s been beautifully restored and a modern hotel is well hidden behind the stone walls. The reception and waiting staff are very professional and attentive. Just check restaurant opening hours, we stayed off season and they were only open for breakfast and lunch.

This was an incredible parador surrounded by spectacular views and fascinating history. Dining at the parador was really special - excellent breakfast and dinner. Service was excellent and the staff were really friendly. My only complaint would be that the beds are really very hard. If it's possible to add a topper to the mattress to make them more comfortable that would greatly improve the experience.

First time in a Parador hotel and it did not disappoint. Food did not live up to expectations. Getting heavy luggage to your room is a challenge as there is no Porter staff. I look forward to visiting other Parador hotels

Staying at el Parador de Cardona was an incredible experience! It is fully authentic and tremendously rich in the history and culture of Spain and Cataluña. Everything — the amenities, the service, the food, the views — were amazing. The staff was exceptionally professional and helpful. Our two-night stay was just what we needed to rest up from the flight from the US and to gear up for the more bustling environment of Barcelona. Touring the salt mine and just walking around the town of Cardona to soak up the atmosphere were also very enjoyable. Cardona and this parador are definitely worth the short drive from Barcelona!

Even dropping luggage at lobby is a chore. Limited drive up to Reception doors. Very narrow driveway NEEDING 3 point turn to even proceed up further to 6 parking spots if any ever available. VERY HARD BEDS. Food was good but terribly small portions for the price. Least favorite Parador we ever stayed in and we have stayed in many.

Service was impeccable and our room had a fabulous view of the salt mine and town! We could walk into town easily and the castle was also fascinating to explore. The parking was steep and tight, but free (park in front of the parador doors to drop off your luggage then park either above or below in the lots provided). We would definitely stay at this ancient, magical parador again! Staff were terrific and very kind!

The property was beautiful and well-maintained. It was amazing to be able to stay in a castle. The location is also great for exploring Cardona (though, if walking, it is a lot of up and down hill!). Staff were very helpful and kind. The only complaint was that there was no hot water kettle (or any way to make coffee) in the room.

Lovely castle with a feel of being brought back in time. Room was lovely. My only 👎 was the waiting staff during dinner and breakfast. Not a smile or effort to ensure we were satisfied. When asking for a recommendation for a wine to go with our dinner we felt we were bothering the staff. And when mentioned the bacon at breakfast was not to my liking (it was barely cooked and I had asked for it crispy) he just put it down and walked away. So rude. Check-in staff where lovely though.

The serving staff in cafe and breakfast restaurant were unable to communicate in English. Not enough signage to give indication or instruction on ordering breakfast on menue. Continental buffet spread is lack of fresh look and breakfast ordering option on menu are also underwhelmed. Although view is amazing from room but appalling service kind of kill the enjoyments. No swimming facility is not ideal for any body visiting in summer, we stayed 3 nights in July and could not find enough to do in area and with accommodation being not self contained, apart from sleep and enjoy the aircon and rest our body and soul , there is not much we could have done differently.

Our stay at Cardona was good. Johnathon in the kitchen/bar was the best! Very attentive and friendly. The hotel was very nice & authentic. My only negative was gross, dirty throw rugs all over the castle. It would be better to get rid of these all together and leave bare tile and avoid the negative image. Would love to have seen more of the castle, but a lot of the rooms are locked. Dining options were good, but limited both time & options. All in all, would recommend.
