Parador de Segovia

An excellent breakfast and generally a very comfortable hotel. The pool and its surroundings were incredible. However, there was no wow factor that you get in many Parador hotels. The rooms were bog standard, much like any run-of-the-mill business hotel.

We stayed there without a car and it was really unsuited to people without their own transport. The walk into the city centre took about 40 minutes and was really frustrating because halfway you were still within a very short distance from the hotel due to the layout of the roads (see photo below). We could not understand why a more direct route hadn't been made when the hotel was built. There is a bus into the city but even then it is 20 minutes walk to the bus stop. We ended up spending a lot on taxis (7 or 8 euros each way). Frankly I wouldn't recommend this hotel for anyone without a car.
