Parador de Santo Domingo Bernardo de Fresneda

Very nice room, and superbly comfy bed. A lovely historic parador, and very friendly helpful reception staff. Given excellent recommendation for a tapas bar within easy walking distance. On street parking is possible in a street behind the hotel. |Didn’t have breakfast, so cannot comment on this. However the slight downside is that, apart for breakfasts, you have to walk to the other Parador in Santo Domingo for a Parador dining experience.

Wow. Super disappointing experience. All I’ve ever heard is how fantastic and special the Paradores are.|I am presently walking the Camino de Santiago and decided to treat myself to what I thought would be a first class stay at a famous Spanish Parador. I booked this location because the other Parador was unavailable.||It is really no better than a low end chain hotel. Despite the stunning building there was zero charm or warm welcome from the reception staff. The room had no complimentary water, coffee, tea, bathroom amenities. The restaurant at the property only serves a buffet breakfast. For over $200USD for a regular room I expect much more than this Parador offers.||It would have been so lovely to sit in one of the beautiful salons in this historic building to enjoy a glass of wine or a cup of tea with a good book. Nope. I just wanted a cup of coffee in the morning. Not possible. Only full buffet breakfast option. And nothing available in the near vicinity.||When I asked the receptionist about their lack of customer care she said “that’s just what we do”.||I won’t try another Parador while I am in Spain to be able to compare. This experience ruined it for me. I would highly recommend you spend your money elsewhere.

Central location in Santo Domingo close to cathedral, cafes, Main Street shops. Very quiet courtyard location. Very comfortable well appointed bedrooms with modern bathrooms. Breakfast available and dining options in hotel as well as nearby restaurants.

First of all, in the 6 months that I am travelling with my bicycle this is the FIRST hotel where they have no place for my bike?? They told me at the reception to park the bike at their other hotel a few streets away. I said that this was quite inconvenient and asked to rebook in the other hotel. This was also not possible. After some walking I was finally in my room, but instead of having a good night sleep I could enjoy the conversation of my neighbours quite clearly… Very disappointed sadly!!

The hotel is an absolutely relaxing stop along the Camino Frances. Our suite was stunning and all of the amenities and services were great.

What a great hotel. Excellent, cozy rooms with gorgeous windows overlooking the garden. Great location, excellent breakfast.

We knew about the cafe and restaurant, but were not aware that the bar was not open. We found the disused bar behind a screen. As it was raining, it would have been nice to be able get a hot drink at the hotel, rather than having to venture out. As they offer hot breakfasts, I don't understand why this can not be done.

Money stolen from room after laundry service delivered, €260 taken, money wallet found discarded under tv unit. Other room disturbed personal belongings and possible money taken in second room but cannot be certain. Hotel no help whatsoever, not willing to pursue the event, for a Parador I expected more help and assistance.
