Valladolid is a beautiful small city. I Spent 3 nights in this hotel. A small single room overlooking the rear of apartments with washing strung between windows. The room was adequate but it had an abysmal shower and the wood laminate floor was cheap looking. The hotel itself is quite modern looking with a bright foyer. Not the friendliest welcome at the desk by the two lady receptionists. There is a nice small bar which a very pleasant bar person Ana was working. Negatives - The breakfast was a suprise to be charged 9.20 euros for a Coffee and bread roll with cheese. The coffee was awful and as I was the only person at breakfast I assume others new this as well. Apart from the young lady in the bar the staff were not at all nice. I did not eat at night here. There was no wireless internet access available only a common computer for guest usage which had no printer attached. Positives- Location good a short stroll to town centre. Close to railway and taxis. Price (apart from breakfast) was good value. Its a OK hotel for a short stay not a place to take your spouse for a romantic getaway but would suit business people fine.

Valladolid es una bella y pequeña ciudad. Pasé tres noches en este hotel. En una pequeña habitación mirando la parte trasera de los apartamentos con la colada colgado entre las ventanas. La habitación era adecuada, pero tenía una ducha enorme, y el piso de madera laminado se miraba de baja calidad. El hotel en sí, se mira bastante moderno, con una entrada bien iluminada. La bienvenida de las recepcionistas no es de lo más agradable. Hay un pequeño bar en el cual hay una camarera muy agradable, Ana, trabajando. Los negativos – el desayuno fue una sorpresa, me cobraron 9.20 euros por un café y un bolillo con queso. El café estaba terrible y yo era la única persona en el desayuno, me imagino que los otros ya sabían esto. Aparte de la joven dama en el bar, el personal no era para nada agradable. No cené allí en la noche. No había acceso inalámbrico al Internet, había sólo un ordenador público para uso de los huéspedes, el cual no tenía impresora. Los positivos – la ubicación es buena, a una corta caminata del centro de la ciudad. Cerca del tren y de taxis. El precio (aparte del desayuno) ofrecía una buena relación calidad-precio. Es un buen hotel para una corta estancia, no es un lugar para llevar a tu esposa a pasar una escapada romántica, pero le vendría bien a la gente de negocios.

The Parque Hotel is conveniently located near the bus and train stations. The area is hardly Valladolid’s prettiest, but convenient for those travelling by public transport (the World Heritage cities of Leon, Salamanca, Avila, Segovia and Burgos are all easy day trips from Valladolid). The old part of town is a straightforward 15 to 20 minute walk, mostly through the city’s main park. The hotel occupies a modern 9 storey building on a busy thoroughfare, rather monstrous from outside, but pleasant enough once inside. My room, looking onto some sort of inner courtyard, was quite a decent size, if somewhat plain, and rather dark, even when the midday sun was hitting strong outside. Rooms looking onto the street are surely brighter, probably noisier too. The bathroom was nice and well appointed, despite the ridiculously tiny bathtub, better used as a shower. The room came with air-con, and satellite TV with plenty of local and international channels. Buffet breakfast was fantastic, I thought, while I was helping myself to some delicious peach juice and trying to decide what to have next. That is, until a waitress asked for my room number and kindly explained that my rate (booked through a discount website) only included continental breakfast. I was then shown to another hall where I was served one croissant, two bread rolls, one glass of orange juice and some coffee. Still, pretty decent. Service was correct at all times. All in all, I found the Parque Hotel not a bad place to stay, if hardly fancy. Good value for money if booked online through a discount website.
