Parador de Jaén

  : Wonderful buildings, superbly decorated with many different sitting areas.
  : On arrival with large suitcases we were not offered any help, trolley. We are in our 70s and were just told how to find the lift. Quite a way to room . The dinner was most disappointing. We both left our first course, tasteless, watery and expensive at 14 euros. Main course not much better. Such a shame as we have stayed in Paradors before and have never experienced pot cooking. Breakfast was good but we werent given or told about the cooked option. We only found out when the next table that had a menu ordered the cooked option.

  : The location is wonderful and the building itself is a marvel, being constructed to the highest standards on the remains of part of the old castle. It is a modern hotel with fine facilities in an architectural setting that retains the essence of its history.
  : On a very hot day, the pool wasn't open; the restaurant was shunted into what seemed like a long corridor due to a noisy private function and the service in the restaurants was off-hand and unwelcoming.

  : Fabulous place, views and buildings. Staff charming and attentive, peaceful haven
  : October heatwave but pool was shut - regulations said no! Extreme heat calls for a bit of common sense waiving of rules surely?! No tea/coffee facilities in room - and cafeteria not open so you HAVE to have breakfast at 20 if you want anything.. bit miffed.

  : Stunning location and views. A modern building but designed with character. We had the end room with larger balcony and great views. Swimming pool excellent. Restaurant up to usual high standard of paradors.
  : Jaen itself is a long drive from the parador, and not the most exciting town. We were travelling on to Carmona parador, and a travel app suggested we take the train Lora del Rio and then a taxi. I asked reception about this and they gave me two taxi phone numbers. Getting out at Lora there were no taxis and the numbers didn't work. Then my wife found she had left a necklace by the pool. Jaen staff found it but said we had to organise collection & delivery ourselves, quite a challenge when on holiday. Staff at Carmona were brilliant and sorted it out for us. Jaen could have done better.
