This hotel is really beautiful. It is in the mountains but need to drive if you want to go to the town. The price is too high. The service was good, very nice people. But the rooms are very old! They need to do something about it! The cloister were the restaurant is wonderful!

about an hours drive out of Madrid, this hotel is set in/around a still occupied monastery. peaceful, with excellently appointed rooms, friendly staff, brilliant food & service. buffet breakfast including hot and cold dishes, fruits, breads, pastries....the list goes on :) the pool area (and surrounding grassy areas) is very well kept - with complimentary loungers & towels available all...

I stayed here in Feb/March 12 taking part in a language programme. The staff are very helpful and most speak a smattering of English. There are numberous large and comfortable reception rooms, one with a grand piano and a bar. The restaurant is well furnished, nothing is too much trouble for the Maitre D and the food superb. Rooms can... More

As most of my family is spreaded around South Spain, France and UK, we decided to meet all in el Paular for 3 days to celebrate Mum´s Birthday and everything runned above expectations! Initial impression was disapointing due to roof works in the Monastery but no noises were suffered during the stay. Location is perfect for hiking and cycling; however,... More

The hotel, the staff and the offerings (food, pool,gym, club lounge) were all excellent and at a very fair price. Although not near the downtown area there was a bus that took us to the city center right in front of the hotel. I can't imagine a more bountiful and tasty breakfast or even the club lounge offerings The pool... More

Location could not be more beautiful in a monastery that dates back to the middle ages. You would hardly believe that you were only an hour or so north of Madrid. The adjacent museum and church exceeded expectations once learned more about its history and efforts undertaken to restore the original artwork to this forgotten Order. The staff was fantastic...

The setting of this hotel is magnificent with lots of walks and cycle runs in beautiful scenery just outside. However, the hotel was very disappointing for a Sheraton 4 star. Positives first: Staff were friendly helpful and charming. Most spoke English, by the way, not that I would be put off if they didn't Public areas were spacious, quiet, and... More

Everything other reviewers say is true - the hotel is becoming rundown, the rooms are small etc. and it is different to the majority of Sheratons but we actually loved it for all of that. It was the only hotel on the trip that I hadn't planned on - other hotels were booked because of the nearby top restaurants or... More

We stayed for 3 nights in Feb 2012 and found it to be a very nice hotel. Having read reviews on this site, we went with mixed feelings. But am glad to say, we were happy with the place. Rooms were neat and clean, quiet ambiance and a general good feel around the place. The only drawback was the food... More
