Parador de Lleida

I highly recommended this hotel at Lleida with suggestions to have breakfast there to fully experience its offerings. The room was modern, new, and clean too. The hotel and restaurant staff were friendly.It’s only a few minutes’ walk from the shopping streets.Hotel parking with a fee is available for us.

The Parador in Lleida is located very close to the Old King's fortress and the magnificent romanic Cathedral of 'Santa Maria de la Seu Vella', which is an important Cultural site. Even if the city is mainly industrial, and it has not that many historic buildings left, after it was partially destroyed during the Spanish Civil War, the old town is quite pleasant and out of the beaten path. The Parador itself is worth visiting with its wonderful architecture and excellent cuisine.

The hotel is in an isolated neighborhood accessible by only one narrow road off the main road. The parking garage for the hotel is about 100 feet from the hotel. However, the hotel is on a one-way road, so after checking in, one must navigate about a quarter of a mile through a sketchy neighborhood (see other reviews) to loop back to the parking garage. Because of the difficulties getting to this hotel, we decided to eat in the hotel restaurant. I found this pompous restaurant to be a costly mistake…an aberration amongst great values obtained in many other delicious restaurants in northern Spain.||The hotel rooms were comfortable, clean and spacious. The interior courtyard was lovely. It's a pity that the onsite restaurant exploits the isolated location of the hotel.

For us was it disappointing. The dinner wasn’t good and the room to warm without a possibility use the airco or to open the window. After a while we got an other room.

Now sure about Parador de Liedia. The property is stunning. An excellently refurbished 17th Convent. Our room was great, well appointed with a balcony. We dined in the resturant 1 night & it was a delight. The drinks in the bar was good also. Breakfast was disspointing with limited choices. Things get lost in tranlation. The olmette was not cooked fresh, but a micowaved frittia. We arrived for breakfast 1 morning at 9.30 & the selections where even less attractive. Many items had been consumed & not refreshed. For mine the hotel had no atmosphere or life. It still felt like a convent. May a suggest some music such as Struss or Chopin to reflect the era of the building. Some concerns are not the fault of the hotel but still influenced my review. Walking around Lleida, not far from the hotel, my wife & I come across some neighhoods with groups of young men loiltering around, with no pacific purpose it would seem. We did sadly feel unsafe. The foul odors in many of the streets is off putting. On night there was a what I would call a heated domestic dispute in the street outside the hotel which lasted for some 30 minutes. This is not the type of location in which we wish to hoilday.

We spent 3 nights here, with breakfast. The location is excellent, parking is secure and the service above & beyond. Room very clean with comfortable bed. ||||Would highly recommend.

The welcome from reception was indifferent and not particularly friendly. There was no welcome drinks voucher and again no porters. |I must have been given one of the noisiest rooms in thr hotel, just above the back door, where every night at 11.15 the truck reverses in (beep beep beep) to collect the rubbish,with all the commotion that accompanies bin emptying. |Then early in the morning a truck arrives with all the beers and supplies needed by the hotel. |Not a recipe for peaceful rest. Avoid room 210 if offered. |The parking is a nightmare to find, through area where dozens of males are just hanging around on corners, which is not a comfort. |The bed is glorious and the pillows superb. The room is spacious and calm except for the commotion already described. |The restaurant staff are fast and work hard but the menu is far from exciting and the food not particularly tasty. |On reflection one night would have been enough here. We will not visit here again. On to Aigua Blava next - hope it’s better.

Great hotel at around 110 euros per night. Service is better than at another Parador, and the breakfast is also excellent. The only downside is the location. While it's central, the streets around the hotel feel like you're walking through the ghetto. Especially at night, it does not feel safe. It's telling that you can barely see any women on the streets after sunset. I wouldn't feel great about my (hypothetical) daughter staying here by herself. The hotel itself isn't really to blame for this, so 5 stars. I'd stay again.
