Parador Guadalupe
The Parador of Guadalupe sits atop what was the old 15th century San Juan Bautista Hospital and the former 16th century Infantes or grammar school – 
important learning centres for medical surgery and grammar respectively.
The hotel is located in the old town and has been declared a heritage site facing the world heritage site of the town of Guadalupe. The garden – a true orchard of plants and flowers -, the Gothic and Mudejar cloisters, the secluded pool and the large white-walled indoor spaces truly standout. In the dining room: monastic cod, almond and garlic gazpacho, Extremadura migas (fried breadcrumbs with meat and spices) and La Serena cheesecake.








The first contact with staff on the parking was not very nice, a sour looking unfriendly man. In the breakfast room, french tourist in something like bathing clothes and bathroom shoes.
From memory we were very happy with our room and our reception
also the staff were very polite and helpfull.
We were less pleased with the evening meal and service in the
restaurant. It was not good value for money.
It was our first time there and it was splendid! Parking, no problem. The service at the bar was great and I had the best hot chocolate I have ever had. The room was spectacular and the breakfast outstanding. I will recommend your Parador to everyone.
We returned to our favourite parador on 6 August for (alas) only the one night. Difficulty in parking was swiftly resolved by a member of staff. The pool was most welcome after a hot journey, the room had a splendid view over the garden and roofs, dinner outside was excellent. We are already looking forward to our next visit.
We returned to Guadalupe’s parador after 22 years to find it still beautiful. We remember particularly the courtyard with its central fountain and lemon and orange trees growing. The view from our balcony of the towers and roofs of the monastery is fascinating and the sound of its bells very evocative. We hope to return again – but sooner than another 22 years!
