the hotel seems to have a problem with staffing. For example the bar had only one person assigned to serve over 50 patrons in the cocktail hour before dinner. While they tried their best it was not realistic to expect proper service. Similarly the dinner service seemed to have the same problem. We had been at this parador in the past and service was impeccable. a disappointment this time.

A real experience
Great setting, spectacular views (especially from our balcony). A real experience to stay in such a property, with interesting common areas and period bedrooms. Service was efficient and pleasant. On-site parking was a real plus compared with other properties we stayed in in Andalucia. Only slight negative was that the food was not quite up to expectations (in particular the cooked options for breakfast were limited).

Lovely property, nice amenities
Beautiful property with an interesting history. The breakfast buffet is definitely worth it. The pool area was nice, would have been great if they had a jacuzzi also. Rooms were nice and dark. The only reason I am not giving this a higher review is because online the photos of the standard rooms appear to have a balcony or at least a large window. The first room we were given had a shoebox-sized window. We went back to the front and had to upgrade to a superior room for $30 more a night in order to get a non-dungeon-like room with a balcony. Just be aware when booking.

We enjoyed our stay at the Parador Carmona. The staff were pleasant and helpful, the room and facilities were great, dining room service was superb, and strolling the quiet streets of Carmona was a great break from the hustle of the surrounding cities that we visited each day.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The view from our lovely and spacious room was absolutely breathtaking. The pool was great but make sure you don't forget anything in your room ~ it's a long climb up & down from the Parador. Loved the breakfast bar - delicious sausage, cheese, trout lox, prosecco and much more. The walk to town is not far or difficult - it also allows you to see the culture and the sidewalk cafes are very authentic and good. I would highly recommend staying here!!

Expected more
The hotel is beautiful, but I was disappointed. The mattress and the pillows were very hard, not a good sleep. The breakfast buffet at $25 per person, was not up to the price. Limited selection, would have expected more from this hotel. Service? You can tell that they were short staffed. In the dining area only a few service members and tables that were not cleaned because they could not get to it. Service in the bar area was much the same. They did not serve and you had to wait in line to purchase a night cap. Very disappointed, I was expecting so much more. Also, we stayed at the Parador de Ronda, and compared what we got as bathroom toiletries, Ronda wins hands down. Missing in Carmona, bathrobes, slippers, bath sponge, sewing kit, qtips, etc.

The hotel was absolutely beautiful. However we had planned to have a relaxing day at the hotel by the pool and we’re informed when we arrived the pool was closed for the season. This was very unfortunate given the main photo on the ad shows a big pool and nowhere on the website did it mention it closed. Also, apparently nothing in the town is open on Tuesday nights for dinner which forced us to eat at the hotel. It was the worst meal I have eaten anywhere in Spain. Also the most expensive so it was extra disappointing. Breakfast was decent. Lots of options available. The staff at the hotel were all lovely. The property is kept very clean and is such a beatifiul space with great views. The rooms were large and comfortable. Our stay would have been perfect if the pool was available and if we had eaten dinner somewhere off the hotel.

The building itself is stunning, with outstanding views. Roons are good. Stayed here in 2019 also, and was a little disappointed that standards have slipped a little . Not enough staff at breakfast, had to wait too long for coffee and hot options. Service around the pool area was poor. Most items from bar unavailable . The quality of food does not match the rating of this hotel. Also, what has happened to the pads for the sun loungers and the fresh fruits treats. Overall was lacking the excellent service and extras we have received previously and expected from this hotel.

We stayed at this Parador for 7 nights which, from observation only, seems a little unusual as there was regular turnover. It has an impressive situation in the town, when you see it from the road and driving in through the gate. The room was very clean and comfortable with a great view over the plains. We were left complimentary water and cake, or dried fruits, one day a bottle of wine every day which was a nice touch. The staff were very efficient and friendly. We had breakfast every day, strange operation the first day, but after that a regular buffet with all the guests using their own tongs to help themselves plus a hot food table service. The food was excellent. We ate one dinner there but as I don’t eat meat we ate elsewhere for variety. It is a popular place for visitors to Carmona to visit even if they are not staying as the balcony, courtyard and lounge are very enticing. Carmona itself was also an interesting place to visit. The Tourist Office were extremely helpful and there are a few places of interest to visit. If we were to stay again we would request a room in the 4th floor with a balcony just to be able to sit outside and admire the view… our room on the 3rd floor had a Juliette balcony which worked well too.

We stayed here for one night. Tricky route to drive to the hotel if you miss one of the turnings in the town. Narrow streets for a big car. Amazing building - a castle converted into a hotel. Stone floors big wooden doors and shutters, mosaic tiling and high ceilings. Very comfy beds with quite hard mattresses (which I like) and soft pillows. Soft towels. There is a table, chairs, desk and fridge in the room. Good air conditioning. There is a feeling of opulence and a strong sense of history. Great experience and a nice change to a modern hotel. Lovely views across the fields. We did not eat in the hotel or use the swimming pool but I can imagine that they are of a high standard. Parking is at front of hotel with some parking spots covered from the sun.

The hotel itself has a great location for the view BUT it is isolated from the town, so it is difficult to get out for a drink or meal. We felt a bit captive and had to pay a high price for a meal, since it was simply not practical to go into the town for dinner. Also, the air con did not work in our room.

泊まるならスーペリア
スーペリアルームに泊まりました。 落ち着いた内装で、ベランダに出るドアが印象的です。アルハンブラ宮殿に似たようなドアがありました。 最上階で、比較的広いベランダが付いていて、遠くに広がる水平線が素晴らしいです。 外から見ると下のフロアの部屋は窓が小さく見えました。 夕食はルームサービスにしました。日が暮れるのをみながらの食事は最高でした。 料金はワインを一本入れて一人五千円ちょっとでした。 都内のちょっとしたレストランより安いです。 味の方もかなり美味しいです。メインにチキンを頼みましたが、今まで食べたチキンで一番美味しいかも。 バーやレストランの内装も高級感があってとてもいい感じです。建物やプールも美しいし、泊まること自体がアトラクションでした。 駐車場はホテル前で広いです。 行くときは車が停めてあって狭いところもありますが、帰りは広いです。
