Our room no 430 was really great, all glass windows which lead on to a patio with lovely sea views. Very modern hotel with good facilities, the beds were really comfortable. Good location - enabling us to walk all over Cadiz. which was lovely. Very enjoyable stay, we would definitely stay here again.

The only negative was the breakfast - although the food was fine, the organisation was chaotic and we had to ask a few times for food to be replenished and for orders to be delivered. Looked like they were a short staffed. Shame otherwise a 10 score.

We had toured round Central Spain--Madrid, Carcares, Toledo, Avila, Segovia, Salamanca before driving down to Cadiz. So this was a nice change, on the coast with sea views and the hotel suited us fine with its light and airy ambience. The underground car park is handy although expensive at 19 euros per night ( we got rid of the car back to the hire car company after 1 night! as you don't really need a car in Cadiz ) Our room overlooking the pool and sea was lovely and the outside balcony was very pleasant. I think this would be the preferred side of the hotel as the other side predominantly overlooks the park so far more to see on our side. Room very clean and modern---it wasn't our idea of how a room should be designed ( think it must be a cleaner's nightmare) with all of its nooks and crannies and gadgets but plenty of talking points like the less than private facilities and the huge trough like bath big enough for 2 !! The location of the parador is a 10 minute bus ride from the train station or around 25 mins walk. The old quarter with its fabulous streets and alleyways full of bars, cafes and restaurants is within easy walking distance. the city feels so safe with a wonderfully authentic atmosphere--there are tourists of course but this is a truly REAL , lived-in City and all the better for it. Breakfast was a superb spread of everything you could think of ( we did wonder if the bread could have been a bit fresher or crispier) and the staff there were very efficient and friendly. Lovely views out to sea from the breakfast area. Very nice pool area and Caleta beach is literally less than 10 mins walk away. We preferred the beach further down the 'promenade' ( around 35/40 mins walk away) but beware there is very little shade on these public beaches and no sun umbrellas. The locals bring their own which could be purchased in nearby shops within the old centre.

Very modern hotel in an ancient city. All rooms have a sea view , ours also had a city view and a view of the only green space in the city . Large balcony with table and chairs great for dining in . Huge selection at the breakfast buffet including wine . Very tempted ! Lunch at the restaurant was excellent with plenty of space , in fact the whole ground floor of this hotel is enormous . The second floor swimming pool is beautiful but not open until eleven o’clock so no swim before breakfast . This smart contemporary hotel is spacious and peaceful just the place to relax after a tour of Andalusia .

This hotel keeps very precise times for food and drink and there aren’t a great many places close by to visit , although there is a beach bar about 150m’s away which was very good and is open most of the day . We waited 40 mins one evening to be served and even longer another night at the hotel bar and it wasn’t particularly busy . There seemed to be a real lack of co ordination and management in this part of the hotel .

Our stay at Parador de Cadiz was perfect from beginning to end. The staff were welcoming and informative, our room faced the ocean and was beautiful, the room was quiet, we loved the pool (cool, but worth it). The location was perfect - near the tapas bars, restaurants and groceries in La Vina and near La Caleta Beach with its beautiful sunsets. Our room also overlooked the lovely Parque Genoves, which was a welcome respite from days of being in tourist centers. There are complaints that the hotel is far from town, which is a bit of a mystery. The Roman Theatre is a very easy walk and a bus runs from the old town every few minutes and is extremely easy to navigate.

Several reviews seem offended by the fact that this hotel is modern - so if that troubles anyone this is not the place for you. By the time we arrived, we had been travelling for weeks in Spain and were glad to have space and to actually be close to a real neighborhood with families (La Vina and the playground at Parque Genoves).

Very comfy bed. Fantastic views from the room. Stylish design of bedroom. Great bath. Extremely clean. Public areas very well designed. Great location for sightseeing and restaurants. Great service in the pool bar. Great pool area

Pools very cold. We were intending to use the spa on our last day late afternoon but found it had been taken over for 2 hrs by baby swimming classes. So never used it. No signs to advise of these restrictions. It waz quite expensive too for an hours use. Pool staff at thye bar fabulous but so over worked leaving people having to wait as no one there. Breakfast disappointing. Miserable staff, lukewarm dried up hot food and items and crockery not being replenished. I thought this was particularly disappointing for the standard of hotel

Beautiful view of sea and swimming pool, fabulous sunsets. Bed was comfortable with plenty pillows. Breakfast was good (although coffee machines were unpredictable). The view from the breakfast room was amazing.

Lighting in the rooms was clumsy - lots of small buttons, difficult to know what button fulfilled what function. Automatic light sensor in wardrobe was ridiculous and turned off too soon or turned on when you didn't want it to. Very poor task lighting in bathroom area - impossible to shave or put on make up comfortably. The public areas were very corporate and lacked character.

The staff is great, both at reception, breakfast & household! Very good location and overall quiet, except for 1 room next door but reception solved that after a while (at night). Very comfy rooms (got upgraded to a suite, with view on the courtyard). Wish I could stay on the top floor but expensive for a single. Good rooftop terrace but little shade there. Very good coffee at breakfast.

Almost nothing. I think I wouldn’t have liked the floors next to reception and esp breakfast room. Would be too noisy in the morning. Breakfast room was a bit small for the hotel size and in the terrace a bit chilly. Also large groups of females sat there for more than an hour after finishing their food. Management should have said smth, others had to wait to sit down. The staff was far too nice to them: they should have taken their 5th coffee or so upstairs or so.

Fabulous sea view from our balcony. Full glass bi-fold doors meant room almost extended to the outside. Junior suite amazing with his and hers bathrooms, separate living area and bedroom. Double bifold and large terrace with infinity glass. Lots of space in the triple pool area and lots of spare sunbeams throughout our stay. Secure underground parking for residents only. Maid servicing was excellent Good well run breakfast experience with plenty of choice.

Main restaurant was closed on the Saturday night. In the evenings it was open decided not to use as it was very bright and made it look sterile. Lower lighting and using the table candles would have made it far more appealing. Car park was very dark and hard to see spare places of which there not many as a large number of spots were taped off. Also somewhat expensive.

We were upgraded to a large suite, essentially two rooms back to back. Spacious and spotlessly clean with excellent service. Great selection of food, hot and cold, and the usual drinks, coffee, juice, for a buffet-style breakfast. A chef is serving custom eggs in all styles, the drawback being the waiting time. The hotel rooms are thoroughly modern, maybe a bit too much; they need to show you how to put the light on and off. Comfortable beds to help you sleep well. Roomy bathrooms, we had two. Large balcony, ours facing the park with a distant view of the sea near by. Unfortunately, our room type does not come with “fantastic sea views”. On the other side, the rooms facie a large swimming pool and the ocean. Being a parador, first class services are offered by efficient and pleasant personnel throughout who are eager to help you enjoy your stay at this top notch hotel, some are even multilingual. Great location near a beach and a walking distance from the main sights. Highly recommended for comfort and location.

No sea views.

Stunning double size corner suite overlooking the sea and evening sunset. Modern design for a Parador but great visual design and amazing location for the sea and the old city tourist sites. Underground parking available and rare for the location.

These are all picky points but the breakfast buffet logistics needs improvement. Food quality and choice good but spent more time getting the food than eating it. The room is stunning looking and the view incredible but the design of the layout means too many internal doors that are confusing and also dangerous - easy to trap fingers and sharp edges etc. The lutron lighting is also really confusing. Suspect this is all caused by turning 2 rooms into one suite which is a good idea but hasn't been executed well.
