Parador de Zafra

Escolhemos o Parador de Zafra porque viajávamos por Espanha e ficava na localização certa para descansar nessa noite. Mas esse não foi o único critério: era um edifício histórico, muito bonito, com condições e bons comentários. Não ficámos desiludidos! Ainda que num ambiente de castelo , tem todas as condições de conforto, o atendimento foi muito simpático. O estacionamento foi pago.

We got there at 2 AM. My wife always takes a shower before going to bed. She tried, but she couldn't, there was no Hot Water. On the morning, around 9:30, I went to the bathroom. Opened the hot water tap, and waited, and waited. Went to the phone, called reception. Told there was no Hot water. The answer I got was, the water flows till it gets Hot. I told I already did that for the last 15 Minutes. Did it again... Nothing was different. So called reception again, they said they were going to call maintenance. So I gave up, and took a Cold water shower. I've wasted hundreds of liters of water, during this time, which is funny, regarding the notice that was planted on the lavatory tap that said " The water you've wasted today, is the water you'll need tomorrow". Next we went to have our breakfast. You have to keep in mind, we're staying at a 4 Star Parador. There are high expectations... That's all you'll have expectations. The breakfast is so lousy. You have so little choices. I think this is the worst breakfast I've ever had in an hotel. Poor bread choices, the cakes looked so industrial, the orange juice, my wife doesn't know if it had orange cause it was artificial. So this was our first and last time in Zafra Parador. In the end they offered us the breakfast, due to our complaint about the Cold Water.

Good hotel , beautiful place. Would stay again , Parking worked very well. Dinner and breakfast good although service a little slow at dinner , (shortage of staff on holiday maybe)
