Frommer's Review

Now restored, this government-affiliated hostelry, on a hill overlooking Río Agueda, is easily the town's leading inn. It is constructed on the site of a 12th-century castle that was built at the command of Enrique II of Trastamara. The Torre del Homenaje defines the profile of Ciudad Rodrigo; it was once the seat of the feudal court. The parador has several gates and what the Spanish call miradores -- platforms offering panoramic views. Sunset-watching is a popular pastime. The Gothic entrance bears the royal coat of arms and a plaque in Gothic letters. The tastefully furnished rooms offer more style and comfort than any other hotel in town, including the Conde Rodrigo. Try for a room overlooking the garden that runs down to the Agueda River.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
