Parking was easy (cut through the plaza into the archway where the front door is) and 22 euro a night. Rooms are not modern but they're big. Balcony view of the gorge is really worth it especially during sunset. We didn't have time for breakfast and they packed us 2 picnic bags which were honestly the nicest quality in terms of food for any grab and go hotel breakfast we've ever had. Looking forward to returning one day!

I absolutely cannot fault this place. Genuine, warm and attentive service from all the staff here, beautiful rooms with possibly the best view you can get in Ronda (ask for the Superior rooms with a balcony). Some reviews seem on here which mention a poor breakfast, inflexible staff and dated rooms: NOT AT ALL our experience. Our room was beautiful, clean and incredibly spacious. What we loved the most was the calm and peace of the place. It’s middle of June, the weather is perfect and yet I am able to enjoy a very quiet siesta by the pool.

The most STUNNING hotel ever. Gorgeous views from lovely rooms.
Good great too.
Two service-related items to improve on (hence only 4 stars for service) are:
1. Remove those sittings for breakfast (Forcing people to choose between 8, 9 or 10am).
It's highly inefficient judging from the queues I saw at the doors, and how rushed the staff were trying to clear everything before the next sitting.
2. I was given a 10am sitting on my first and only full day in Rhonda. The staff member knew my booking, she should have made sure I was allocated an earlier sitting so I could get out and see the place nice and early. Instead it was my only morning just gone.
Small items, easily fixed.
Truly the best hotel and view.

Very nice hotel. Usual high Parador standards. Friendly helpful staff. Right next to the famous bridge and gorge,  bullring and shopping streets. Large comfortable rooms.  Top tip if you have a wide and long car be a top driver as the spiral  descent to the good underground car park is very narrow.

I pay to receive service, not to endure your rudeness. Having stayed at so many hotels, the service here was truly shocking, completely lacking basic professional courtesy and respect for guests.

To be fair, the location is excellent, right next to Puente Nuevo. But that is the one and only positive. Everything else, especially the breakfast and service, was an absolute disaster.

Firstly, breakfast is highly inconvenient. Unlike standard hotels where you can go within a reasonable time slot, you are asked to choose a time slot here, but due to "limited availability," you end up being shoehorned into a highly inconvenient, pre-assigned time that may not align with your travel plans at all (either too early or too late). The selection is extremely poor with no warm buffet options—only a limited à la carte menu (eggs, bacon, churros).

While we could overlook the poor food selection, the rude and incompetent service was completely unacceptable. At the buffet, we were each handed an individual clip. Since the hotels we previously stayed at always provided communal tongs at the buffet stations, we had no idea what these clips were for. Instead of explaining it clearly, the waitress showed an extremely poor attitude and using Spanish to serve foreign guests. As a foreign tourist, it is perfectly normal not to understand Spanish. Yet, as a hotel staff member, you cannot even communicate in basic English, while still taking it for granted that guests must understand what you mean—this is extremely impolite. If poor service capability is due to stupidity, I can tolerate it, as that is an innate issue. However, service attitude is a personal choice, and this is completely unacceptable.

Furthermore, after being seated, no one came to take our order. The waitress was standing just a few meters away, her back fully turned to us, chating with another staff member. We tried making eye contact multiple times, but they completely ignored us. Out of sheer frustration, I had to walk over to her with the menu myself. Instead of apologizing for neglecting the guests, she coldly and stiffly, telling me to go back to my seat and that she would come over later. Even after I returned to my table, she did not follow us immediately and continued to leave us stranded. She slacked off on duty first, and then acted annoyed when a guest politely approached her.

To top it all off, during our meal, she walked up to our table and, without a single polite word, asked "Done?" with an expressionless face, and took our plates away. This kind of arrogant, dismissive, and "rushing" service truly opened my eyes.

This level of management and service awareness is worse than a common street-food stall. The staff seem to have received zero professional training and fail miserably to meet the standard of a star-rated hotel.

Sometimes I fail to understand why someone chooses to be so arrogant and rude; it does not prove your nobility, it only exposes your ignorance, shallow nature, and a complete lack of upbringing.
