Hotel berhampiran Natur House, Caceres

El hotel está situado a unos 15 min del centro histórico, las habitaciones matrimoniales son grandes y están bien equipadas, lo único que se hecha en falta algo más de insonorización ya que se escucha más el ruido de las habitaciones y de las chicas de limpieza que del exterior. El desayuno está muy bueno y variado además de las camareras y camareros ser muy serviciales y atentos. El parking tiene plazas dentro de la media en tamaño pero el precio me parece excesivo considerando que hay un parking público a 2 min que cuesta bastante menos.

Excellent stay. Friendly professionalism of staff, and well managed facilities, especially the pool, contributed to a very relaxing, enjoyable stay in Cáceres. Highly recommended, although slightly ‘out of town’ location might not suit everyone.

hotel que esta como a menos de 10 minutos andando de la zona monumental, completamente renovado, habitación amplia, y muy limpia, el coche puedes aparcarlo en la calle en zona azul que los festivos es gratis, la calidad precio es excelente, muy recomendable

We last stayed here four years ago and liked it a lot. This time we really loved it! We came back on the strength of the hotel being so close to all the historic sights and because of the fabulous apple cake at the breakfast buffet. Both were still as good! We had a room facing the street on the 2nd floor and, thanks to two sets of double glazed windows, it was nice and quiet. Modern and with everything we needed: a safe, fridge, nice toiletries, comfy beds. All the staff were so friendly, especially the young man on reception from Zafra. Highly recommended.

The NH Collection hotel in Caceres was a great launching pad from which to experience the Holy Week processions. Central to most of the activity, everything was within walking distance. Friendly and helpful staff. Awesome breakfast buffet with fresh fruit and pastries was a good start to the day.

We have stayed in a lot of different Paradors over many years and this time was the only the second time that we had been disappointed. The first was only eleven days earlier. Two old aristocratic town houses have been combined to create this Parador in the historic centre of Caceres, which is an UNESCO Heritage site. What the website fails to mention is that no traffic is allowed into the historic centre so you cannot drive to the Parador. This was only explained to us, by email, three days before we arrived. Fortunately, I had access to email and was with my wife. We were therefore able to follow the instructions that were given. If I had been on my own or had not been able to check my email I may well have gone into the prohibited zone, the signs were not large or particularly clear, and been fined. My wife had to walk to the Parador to check us in. I was then collected and taken to a car park in centre of town. I was charged €23 to park a motorbike there which was more than twice the amount of any other hotel, but I really had no choice. If I had known these arrangements beforehand, I probably would not have booked this Parador but one of the many hotels in the main town instead When we got to our room it had high windows with shutters. It was difficult to see out of these and the room felt a bit like a cell. Although it had everything we needed it was dark and it was almost impossible to get the air conditioning to cool the room, there were no instructions. The shoe shine pad in the wardrobe was just an empty box so the room had not been properly serviced. The bathroom sinks were a triumph of design over practicality. Instead of a normal drainage hole, with a plug of some sort, these had a whole section that moved forward to “seal” the sink when you pulled up the lever behind the tap (see first photo). One worked reasonably well. However, the one by the shaving mirror continually leaked water meaning I had to run the tap while I shaved. Given the water shortage there (see second photo) this was particularly wasteful. There were English speaking staff on reception but not in restaurant. We were not given the complementary drink which, as an Amigos de Paradores, we normally receive. The service in restaurant at dinner was rushed. We ordered two veal dishes but only one arrived. The waiter said that there had been a mistake and another was being “prepared”. It was not clear whether it was his mistake or that of the kitchen staff. Meanwhile, the first dish was left with us to get cold. Within less than five minutes the second dish came. As we had asked for it cooked medium we were surprised it was this quick, that is until my wife cut into it. It was virtually raw and inedible. I refused to pay for that it was so bad. The menu said that the dish was served with “mashed sweet potato”. Technically it was, but as there was less than a dessert spoon full on the plate, that was something of an exaggeration. There was no option to ask for f

Nuestra estancia fué de solo una noche pero estuvimos muy muy a gusto. La atencion a la llegada con las indicaciones del parking para el coche (muy importante). La cena fue un placer desde la ensalada a los postres, asi como el bufet del desayuno. Y la habitacion un lujo para el reposo del viajero.

Las habitacion no estaba mal, pero la limpieza de la misma dejaba mucho que desear, el wc lo encontramos completamente meado al igual que un bar de mala muerte. Tras avisar a recepción nos dicen que van a mandar a una limpiadora mientras nosotros comemos, tras volver de comer habían limpiado un poco, solamente la tapa, pero seguía estando chorreado hasta abajo. Nuevo aviso a recepción y vuelve a pasar limpiadora que nos pide disculpas y nos dice que no es normal, limpiandolo un poco más a fondo pero nada del otro mundo, balleta en mano y a refregarla por todos lados. Hicimos uso del spa, que la verdad está un poco justo. La ubicación es buena, a pocos metros del centro.

Really basic hotel, nothing fancy. It could be a good option if you want something inexpensive. We paid 70€/night for 2 people with breakfast included. It has a free car park which is good and you could walk to the center if you're used to walking. It takes about 15 minutes. If you're looking for nice and comfortable accommodation, keep on looking.

The hotel itself is located just a mile away from Caceres which when passing through it and on the approach to the hotel appeared to be a heavily built up, semi industrial and populated area with high rise flats. On arrival it may take you a few minutes to figure out where reception is as all the signs around the hotel are tiny and far from user friendly. The rooms themselves are quite well appointed with the usual coffee making facilities, TV, a safe, hairdryer etc. There is a small mini bar but be warned it is overly expensive, for example a small bag of crisps is €5 and a small bottle of coke is €6 The staff are all very friendly, courteous and helpful In a so called 5* even in this warm climate you would not expect to find any trace of black mould in the shower/bath area. However, in our room there was and it was clear to see. Non secure parking is available in the car park, however considering the nearby surrounding area if you are on a motorbike you may want to consider booking a place in the underground garage. This is secure but even for a motorbike it will cost you €15 per night. This hotel and its grounds are vast and it has a lovely pool with a relaxing poolside bar and other quiet chilling areas. The restaurant serves very nice, well presented food and the breakfast is very very impressive. A nice hotel but typically for a 5* hotel (Really a 4* with a Spa) they have maximised every opportunity to help you empty your wallet.
