The property is a 2 minute walk from the Cathedral of Santiago and is located on an old street which is full of character. The reception staff are extremely friendly and happy to advise us about the city, detailing a map for us and planning a short route on a camino so that we could get a feeling for the pilgrimage. Our room was very comfortable and well cleaned everyday by friendly staff. There was ample choice at the buffet breakfast and we were made to feel at home by the welcoming breakfast...

I booked this hotel simply because it was the only 5 star in San Sebastian, which was close to Mugaritz Restaurant, where I had booked a lunch surprise for my husbands birthday. The hotel, and indeed San Sebastian, turned out to be the stars of the trip. Mugaritz was lovely but this hotel is absolutely one of the best we have ever stayed in. We stay in top quality hotels all over the world, but this seriously is up there with them, without any of the fuss, arrogance or ego! We would stay...

Even before our arrival, corral del Rey was helpful, organising a private guide to show us main sites. Hotel staff are both friendly and efficient. We took their recommendations for dinner every night and this took us into excellent restaurants off the beaten tourist track

Lovely hotel perfectly situated a three minute walk from Plaza Mayor. The ground floor reception and bar area is beautifully decorated and has a lovely smell. Large rooms, and high quality offerings at breakfast. Would have been nice to have some outside space to sit and relax, but otherwise no issues

We stayed here for 5 nights, and thoroughly enjoyed it from the moment we arrived. The staff were thoughtful and helpful, always attentive without being overbearing. Our room was large, clean, very comfortable and stylish. The night we decided to have dinner in the restaurant it was a set menu only, but we were far from disappointed as the food was superb. The food at breakfast was also very good.
Although the hotel's bar and outside area were small, they provided a great place to relax with...

This place is exceptional. The location, decor, staff and uniqueness isn’t to be missed. Don’t hesitate to stay here…loved it, wish we could have stayed longer. The wine cellar is fabulous and they give you tokens when you arrive to use in it.

Nice hotel. Staff really pleasant and helpful. Good location, just a short walk to the old town of Cordoba. The spa (jacuzzi and sauna) was an added bonus. Only small downside was limited natural light in the bedroom.

What an amazing hotel this ex-convent is. I can't think anytime to criticize. The check-in staff was friendliest ever and it all just went efficiently and as planned. Amongst the Paradores we have visited, the Plasencua may be our new favorite.
