Beautiful views from the top. Friendly staff and very well kept. We hadn't got a car but you definitely need one. Our friends picked us up daily. No taxis or buses. On a personal note the bed was too hard and it hurt my hip bone to lay on either side, so I didn't sleep well. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ebc9a564-8661-4a7b-a159-cb8b498c4231-1752125913530.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a84cfd45-1f83-42a6-a168-5703445407e0-1752125913519.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Diane Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sergio 11 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Fantastic experience to stay at an 1100 year old castle.

It’s been beautifully restored and a modern hotel is well hidden behind the stone walls. The reception and waiting staff are very professional and attentive. Just check restaurant opening hours, we stayed off season and they were only open for breakfast and lunch. ##### Alex Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alison 19 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The paradore is set in a beautiful castle.

Breakfast is fantastic buffet. ##### Alison Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Simon 12 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We had a most enjoyable experience at the Parador de Cardona, perched high up in a beautiful location. All the staff, reception, bar and restaurant, were very helpful and professional. Our room at the top of the castle was well-furnished with a large, comfortable four-poster bed and decent bathroom, both with wonderful views. The AC worked very well. Our dinner in the restaurant was delicious and the service perfectly paced, not hurried. As it’s half-way between homes in Spain and France, we very much look forward to our next visit. BTW, if you’re anticipating a comfortable hotel in an 11th century castle, it’s exactly that and I suggest you ignore low-star ratings mentioning lack of “coffee stations” and “pools”, it’s not a motel in MAGA-land, thank goodness! ![Cloisters ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f7b13136-7021-4393-9555-77f94a23b971-1749720226999.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Bed](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d734d032-419b-4ab7-8be4-6d52e33fdaea-1749720203061.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View from bedroom ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8b5f05ce-8f68-4d1b-bf53-b8716198a173-1749720217519.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Simon Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan 26 Sept 2023 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities We expected that it would be difficult to park, and it was. We didn’t expect the quality of the dining in the castle. The architecture and history in close proximity were excellent. ##### Susan Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maia 16 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was an incredible parador surrounded by spectacular views and fascinating history. Dining at the parador was really special - excellent breakfast and dinner. Service was excellent and the staff were really friendly. My only complaint would be that the beds are really very hard. If it's possible to add a topper to the mattress to make them more comfortable that would greatly improve the experience. ##### Maia Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cezary 11 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### What can I say. You stay in medieval castle. :) Amazing place that you can see from far on your approach to it. Located on very top of big hill that tops all soundings. Very specious and nice rooms. Great restaurant (quite expensive but there are other options to eat in near town of Cardona). It is like spending a night in fairytale story. There is free parking in castle and on weekends you can expect a lot of visitors so plan accordingly. ##### Cezary Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ruth 15 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staying at el Parador de Cardona was an incredible experience! It is fully authentic and tremendously rich in the history and culture of Spain and Cataluña. Everything — the amenities, the service, the food, the views — were amazing. The staff was exceptionally professional and helpful. Our two-night stay was just what we needed to rest up from the flight from the US and to gear up for the more bustling environment of Barcelona. Touring the salt mine and just walking around the town of Cardona to soak up the atmosphere were also very enjoyable. Cardona and this parador are definitely worth the short drive from Barcelona! ##### Ruth Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Maria 3 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### M&M First time in a Parador hotel and it did not disappoint. Food did not live up to expectations. Getting heavy luggage to your room is a challenge as there is no Porter staff. I look forward to visiting other Parador hotels ##### Maria Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bruce 21 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A castle definitely worth staying at. The parador was really a beautiful place with a lot of charm and great views of the surrounding area. The castle had an interesting history and was well placed on top of the hill to defend it itself when under siege. The room was large with a large 4 poste bed and a good sized bathroom. The service was friendly and efficient. The restaurant was was a huge hall with large arches giving great atmosphere. The food was of very good quality and we enjoyed both breakfast and dinner. We were on a road trip and had stayed at a number of hotels but this one was clearly the best and in fact the cheapest. It was very good value for money. ##### Bruce Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Delaney 12 May 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The castle was absolutely stunning and the countryside was so beautiful. The accomodations on the other hand were pretty meh. The carpets throughout the hotel were disgusting. There was no AC. The sheets were made of cardboard. Breakfast was great and the staff were super nice. So my recommendation? Come here on a day trip but don't stay the night. ##### Delaney Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine 7 Oct 2025 Liked: Amenities Top notch accommodations! ##### Catherine Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren 17 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Fantastic location, beautiful castle. ##### Lauren Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ryan 15 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing historic castle to stay in.
