Parador De Lorca

“Positive feeling”

Location is absolutely amazing. Hotel with a feeling of peace and quiet. Stylish but warm, stylish but friendly. Perfect room with the best shampoo and conditioner of the whole roadtrip.The only thing that was a bit disappointing was the breakfast and the lack of choice.

“Short trip to Murcia”

Lorca is a lovely town with many attractions. The parador is in a unique location with majestic views across the valleys.

“Large, modern, and impersonal”

This Parador was a one night stop between the Parador de Cazorla to the Parador de Mojácar. We had previously visited the castle in 2014, but didn’t stayed at the Parador on that trip.

This Parador was a one night stop between the Parador de Cazorla to the Parador de Mojácar. We had previously visited the castle in 2014, but didn’t stayed at the Parador on that trip. Up by the castle, this Parador is large with a modern interior. It lacks the charm, personality, uniqueness, and intimacy one gets when visiting many other Paradors. It’s more of a business hotel suited for conferences and events. Check in was easy. While there seems to be plenty of parking, much of it covered, when there are events occurring it probably fills up quickly. There are EV charging points. One is afforded outstanding views of the surrounding area from it, but if wanting to go into the city it takes about 15 minutes even though the town isn’t that far away. Our room overlooked the town and was larger than at most Paradors we’ve stayed at. It was clean, well presented, and comfortable. Neither complimentary water nor a pot for boiling water was provided like in some Paradors. The toilet is somewhat separated from the sink, but the glass door is awkward, whether opening inwards or outwards. From the covered parking spaces there is an entrance to the hotel. Unfortunately, there’s no ramp to wheel suitcases into it. It’s all stairs. The staff, while friendly, were more business like and less personable. Finally, getting to the 3rd floor cafeteria requires one to pass through the restaurant and that could be irritating for those trying to have a nice dinner.

A fantastic location, architecturally flawed! We have just stayed at this hotel twice in a week as it was mid point for our travels. We love the Paradors but this one was super disappointing. The rooms are big with a dark dingy feeling, the windows are so small it’s incredible with the view available that the tiniest of windows have been installed in a modern hotel. The bathrooms are dark, the water pressure is terrible and the shower is an over bath hand held unit. The worst part is the food options, the main restaurant opens at 8.30pm, our first night we didn’t eat until 10pm despite being seated at 8.30pm, 2 members of staff serving the entire restaurant, come one hotel manager this is basic, I’ve worked in hotels and I was appalled, I really felt for the staff. Our second night a week later we chose to eat in the bar/ cafe as we could eat slightly earlier, another grand disaster, one member of staff taking and serving drink orders as well as taking food orders and serving food. A full bar/ cafe with one staff member, completely unacceptable. We are super disappointed with this parador and as Spanish residents would not recommend this hotel to anyone.
