A very good hotel - located up a long private drive a little distance away from Limpias. Facilities were very good, and we were surprised at the quality of the dining. The rooms, etc. were as you would expect - good quality, well equipped in the Parador fashion! It provides an excellent base to catch the ferry from Bilbao or Santander, but the surrounding area makes it well worth a visit in its own right.

“Great Hotel. Understaffed”

The hotel is excellent as was the restaurant food. Our suite was really lovely.

The hotel is excellent as was the restaurant food. Our suite was really lovely. What let the hotel down was the very poor service in the main lounge; we (and others) waited for well over an hour for an order to be taken for food and drink. This was entirely due to only one member of staff taking orders and delivering the food and drinks. It was so bad that the receptionist lent a hand. Not good enough for an hotel of this calibre.

Our arrival at the Parador Limpias was everything we expected. A nice building with a grandeur fit for a king. After check in, we enjoyed sitting at the lounge with a glass of complimentary Cava. The very large bedroom with lots of wooden cabinets and an impressive polished wooden floor enhanced the experience. The marble bathroom fitted well into the experience. Staff were efficient and we appreciated the wonderful breakfast with its a la carte options. So, our stay could have been wonderful. Unfortunately, there were too many issues that spoiled the experience. Once we started using the bathroom, strange noises and an unpleasant odor emerged from the plumbing. When alerted to the problem, the receptionist did not seem surprised and he promised to alert the technical department. Its staff dutifully arrived but with a can with refreshment spray as the only solution. Late evening and early morning, the guests upstairs got to pacing across their room on hard soled shoes. Suddenly, the wooden floor was not so attractive any more. And finally (was it because we stayed there on a Sunday night), the dishes served for dinner were very disappointing. I have rated our stay 3 stars out of 5. A shame, it could easily have been so much better.

“Disappointing”

We spent two nights here in late September, and it fell well short of standards set by other paradors.

We spent two nights here in late September, and it fell well short of standards set by other paradors. Our room wasn't ready when we arrived, the main drive was blocked by a cement mixer and the courtyard parking area looked like a building site. Some of the guests' cars were splashed with concrete and hastily hosed down by the contractors. Despite this, hotel staff were still happy to sell (at a cost of 10 Euros per day) parking spaces in that area. Restaurant service was slow and some items never came at all (we gave up waiting for coffee after dinner, and had to leave before our cooked breakfast arrived - despite waiting over half an hour). As other reviewers have mentioned, the grounds appeared in need of maintenance. We didn't use the pool as it looked as though it needed a good clean. Staff appeared extremely busy and overstretched - there simply weren't enough of them to deliver an acceptable standard of service.
