I've only signed up because contributors are praising the Dinner/buffet menu. I enjoyed it very much last October and some years previously in the Azafran restaurant (at the end of the main building - it was only used at weekends apparently). I stayed last Thursday 2/2/12 and although the Dinner/buffet menu was originally handed out there was no buffet, only... More

Very convenient, so plus points are:- no distance to travel away from autovia del Norte plenty of free parking space Free Wi Fi reaches all rooms well Good cafeteira Pleasant gardens Negative points:- greeting & efficiency of receptionist - only 5 out of 10 noisy & this stretch of autovia has bad road surface, and the Parador had not made...

The staff is very friendly. The hotel is not recent but very well maintained and very clean. Pool looks nice but we came in a bit too late, weather was changing. The 5 stars go to the restaurant with its menu of all local food. Bravo to the chef. it was worth the stay...We recommend this hotel for it price,... More

The Parador at Manzanares is a welcome sight indeed at the end of a long day's drive. It is rather gloomy, but in the intense summer heat of the area, this is not a bad thing. The pool is something which motorway hotels tend not to have and the buffet Dinner in the adjoining Restaurant is very impressive. Only the... More

The hotel and restaurant are broadly up to the Paradores standards. But the location (near the motorway) and the architecture (modern construction) have little appeal. This is OK for a stopover, but if possible it's best to move ahead to a more attractive location...

We stayed at this hotel as we are Paradores Amigos members (free) which provides monthly special offers and points per stay at Paradors. At the time there was an excellent Amigos half board offer of 125 euros for two but we had points to use up so we stayed for free. it is about an hour and a half drive... More

The Parador is easily accessible from Exit 175 on the Autovia de Andalucia. My wife and I picked up our rental car on arrival at the Madrid airport on a Saturday morning and headed right to Manzanares, It probably was a little ambitious to drive that far after our trans-Atlantic flight, but we made the trip without incident. We did... More

Good Hotel - standard double bed very small - choose two singles in Queen size bed is not available. I agree with the rooms closest to the lift not suffering from the road noise. English translation of the restaurant menu has some serious errors in it - 'Dice of nice in an onions and sweet garlic sauce' - turned out... More

Quite a noisy hotel due to proximity to the motorway but a typical Parador in that it is comfortable (although the double bed was very small !) and the food in the restaurant was very good. The bar manager (Carmello Diaz on his name badge) was rude and thoroughly unpleasant who should really consider his career options. He spoiled what... More
