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.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Parador de Cádiz and was thoroughly impressed. My room appeared to be newly renovated, featuring a unique layout that seamlessly integrated the bed, wardrobe, and bathroom. From the comfort of my bed, I enjoyed stunning views of the sea and the adjacent Genovés Park. The young woman at the reception was exceptionally friendly and attentive, providing me with several recommendations for places to visit in the old town, which is conveniently just a 5-minute walk away. Additionally, the hotel is a mere 150 meters from the renowned La Caleta Beach, making it an ideal location for beach enthusiasts. The breakfast buffet was impressive, offering a wide variety of options. However, the only drawback was the use of coffee machines that require plastic capsules. It would be great if the hotel could consider switching to bean-to-cup coffee machines to reduce plastic waste. Overall, I highly recommend the Parador de Cádiz for its modern amenities and prime location.

A couple of minor things to mention: My balcony, which faced Genovés Park, was located directly above the playground. While it didn’t really bother me, the noise from playing children could be quite loud at times. Also, I found the hotel bar not particularly inviting, but that might have been because I was there in February when things were rather quiet.

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).

This one of the most unique hotel rooms I've ever lived in. The room design is very interesting and seems like half of the room is made of natural stone. We had room with ocean view, and one of the room walls could be completely opened to fully enjoy the view. We were travelling by car and used hotel parking. It's entrance is wide enough for SUV car. The parking itself is very comfy, but keep in mind it has to be paid for separately, it's not included into room price.

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.

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

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.

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.
