Parador de Olite

Historic building attached to a castle is well located on a nice square in a pleasant medieval town. Public areas like reception, dining room and the salon impress with stunning, recently updated decor that includes modern glass doors, exposed stone walls, high arches, wall paintings, stylish chandeliers and elegant furniture. On the other hand, the hotel part, at least in the main building, is decidedly older, darker as if created in the sixties of the last century and clearly begging for another update. Our superior double room in the main building was actually a surprisingly spacious junior suite with a separate living room and a big, double-sink bathroom. Old fashioned style was evident in heavy, dark wooden floors and furniture, as well as old lamps and small cabinets. All, I guess, well suited for an old castle.

Gorgeous heritage building. Amazing restaurant with high vaulted ceiling. Beautiful residents' lounge. Perfect location. Car park nearby. Food at breakfast and dinner good - in both restaurant and bar. Staff helpful and so hardworking. Pleasant room with seating area and four poster beds.

Wonderful historic building although the room was in modern part. It was well-equipped and comfortable, the staff were very welcoming and friendly, and in the restaurant which served really good food for dinner with excellent wine so reasonably priced. The location is right in the historic centre of town, and not too far from the carpark, although you can drop off your bags right outside the door for 20mins. Couldn't recommend more highly. We also REALLY appreciated the generous 12 pm check-out.

It felt somewhat like we were in a castle. We stayed in the newer building that was not a part of the original castle. It did feel modern and new. Place was very clean. Location was very central to town

Olite is a beautiful old town and this Parador in a formidable old building stands pride of place, right in a lovely square beside the magnificent Castle. Our “room” was an impressive duplex but accessible only via a steep, narrow, wooden staircase with a thick jute stair-rope to hang on to, but worth it! Beautifully traditionally furnished, clean, en-suite bathroom, comfortable bed, crisp linen, great views, with plenty of extra cleaned/sealed pillows and not just WiFi but also ethernet connection on the upper level of our room. We did not eat breakfast or dinner in the restaurant, but we ate well and imbibed at the hotel bar, sitting outside on the square accompanied with refreshing locally bottled vino rosado. Parking is possible on the square for loading and unloading only 15 minutes, after which you may park at a nearby public car park, which was easy.
