Very disappointed ##### Young Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### M J 18 May 2025 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Not as good as last time I stayed here! The room I was given (206) had a faulty safe, the shower had black mould inside, and the bathroom door did not shut. I complained and was then given a better room. The air conditioning was all switched off by the hotel, and the swimming pool was closed. Good restaurant and breakfast, and of course the interior courtyard area is wonderful. ##### M J Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 29 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Historic building with beautiful courtyard. Unfortunately we had ground floor bedrooms opposite a very busy bar/nightclub. Admittedly it was a Saturday night before Christmas however the revelers used the castle wall outside our bedroom window as a urinal. This lessened the vibe! Breakfast was good. The rooms were clean but could use an update. The town has nice energy. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Lynda 19 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful place The inner courtyard is lovely. We had popped in for a drink when previously in Zafra so this time decided to stay. The beds were very comfortable and everywhere was clean. The breakfast was very good and we stayed for dinner, mostly due to the lovely surroundings. The service was very good and the food was fine though not outstanding. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. My only complaint relates to the water. We were on the third floor and we had to waste a considerable amount of water before we could get a hot shower. This is very bad in a region with severe water shortages. ##### Lynda Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Neal 31 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities How cool to sleep in a castle! ##### Neal Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Antonio 23 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Unique, probably the best Parador ##### Antonio Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Ken 28 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort I didn't learn about the pool until I was checking out. ##### Ken Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### basilio 13 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness O like the loclization.

Too much sauce. Mediocre. ##### Morgan Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katherine 2 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very cool castle stay! Staying in a castle was quite impressive! Our room was clean and modern and very comfortable, but still retained all the character of the castle. We had the surprise perk of being able to explore the castle walls included in our stay - how incredible! The pool is also nice - very refreshing for the summer! But it does get shady early… Beautiful courtyard to have breakfast, but breakfast was a bit expensive for what is offered. ##### Katherine Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fernando 20 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Everything ##### Fernando Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Susan 31 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We've stayed at this Parador 4 times now but have never been welcomed back by check in staff. Also the room this time was small and a bit shabby. Still I like the old elegance of the place its just a shame the staff don't act as if they are glad to see returning guests. ##### Susan Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Per 14 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Beautiful place, but needs some org. improvements \- Great staff, but hey stressed terribly during breakfast (why?) which was quite disturbing. - Please hire staff that can some English, at least to describe wine and food - Time slot for breakfast does not seem adequate as it is a buffet. Skip it! It gives a feeling of old Sovjet. - Great spacious room, but miss a linen towel which you always get in Italy. - the kitchen needs some inspiration. The dinner we had was rather plain. ##### Per Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### David 24 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service This four star hotel advertises "Parking Available" but it is street parking without privilege. The neighborhood is filled with bars and restaurants, cars are parked everywhere including sidewalks and illegal places. The front desk has no information on additional parking and told me to "figure it out myself." I didn't expect this attitude at a four star luxury hotel. I ended up parking 1km away in a very dark neighborhood hoping the car would not be broken into or stolen. In short, if you are traveling by car, do not choose this hotel. ![Parking situation around Parador de Zafra.

Está un poco antiguo, pero es cómodo. ##### JUAN MANUEL Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### INMACULADA 23 Aug 2024 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hotel muy anticuado y con grandes carencias tanto en las habitaciones como en el resto de dependencias. Las camas muy incómodas. El baño absolutamente anticuado. El aire acondicionado no funciona adecuadamente. Lo único salvable son los textiles: sábanas y toallas de buena calidad. Habitaciones con orientación excesivamente soleada. La limpieza aceptable, sin más. No repetiríamos alojamiento en Parador Zafra. ##### INMACULADA Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### José 23 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Curta de passagem mas bem ##### José Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Costa Barcelona](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Costa-Barcelona-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6221243-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Gay-Friendly Hotels in Sicily](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Sicily-Gay-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d6048323-tGayFriendlyHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [diamondresorts Hotels in Greek Islands](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Greek-Islands-Hotels-Diamond-Resorts.0-0-d6271742--bDiamondResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Apartments Bali](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bali-Apartments.d602651-aaApartments.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Corner Farm](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Crewe-Hotels-Corner-Farm.h12692379.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Sorbonne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sorbonne-Paris-Hotels.0-n553248635212953609-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Missenden Abbey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Great-Missenden-Hotels-Missenden-Abbey.h4603186.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Truro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Truro-Hotels.d182676.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Ludham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ludham-Hotels.d3000010621.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Balmaha Lodges](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Balmaha-Lodges.h27736080.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Hunstanton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hunstanton-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d181025-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels with a Bar in Bristol](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Hotel-With-A-Bar.0-0-d688-thotelwithabar.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Hot Tubs in Madrid](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Madrid-Hotels-Hotels-With-Hot-Tubs.0-0-d178281-tHotelsWithHotTubs.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [METT Marbella Estepona](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Estepona-Hotels-METT-Hotel-Beach-Resort-Marbella-Estepona.h1765310.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Kenilworth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenilworth-Hotels.d4667.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [5 Star Hotels in Isle of Sheppey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Isle-Of-Sheppey-Hotels.s50-0-d3000391341.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Crowthorne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Crowthorne-Hotels.d177955.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Lufthansa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lufthansa-Flights.cLH.Travel-Guide-Airlines) ### Cars ### Activities > [Things to do in Méribel-Mottaret](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Meribel-Mottaret.d6339400.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages ### General > [Visit Diss](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Diss.dx182508) > > [Visit Wellow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wellow.dx3000009418) ---
