"Lovely charming and helpful staff at reception. We skipped breakfast but we liked the fact you could choose right up to the morning at same price. Gorgeous smell when you enter the lobby, and v welcoming. Great location and also unexpectedly quiet, right beside the cathedral. Great to have underground parking choice. We will definitely return as Burgos was super. Would love to see tea & coffee making facilities in the rooms."
"Good breakfast lots of choice, hot and cold. Clean and good size room, comfortable beds. Friendly staff. Only stayed one night while passing through to a ferry.
Underground car park was useful if a little tight in places (long cars may struggle, but our SUV was OK)). They apparently have 42 spaces but when I asked to use the car parking when booking months before arriving, they said they could not reserve a space. This would be understandable if they had many fewer spaces but with so many apparently available, a different response might have been better.
There is a one car space outside of reception, limited to 10 minutes, in which to unload. It is in a one way street just by a traffic light and only a three meters past the car park entrance which means another trip around the one way system to get into the parking entrance. Unfortunate positioning."
"The Parador de Lerma was delightful - a lovely building and charming staff. Parking was very easy in front of the Parador. The central atrium is a great place for a relaxing lunch or afternoon tea. The Parador is right in the middle of town so everything is within easy walking distance - having said that, there isn’t too much to see and we saw everything that we wanted to see in one day. Although we didn’t see the famous Toy Museum as it is only open at weekends- our fault, we should have checked the website. We had a wonderful, memorable meal at Restaurante Galoria - a small family-run restaurant with a delightful romantic ambience, dining in their courtyard. We also ate in the Parador restaurant- an excellent meal but with a somewhat different ambience - we were advised to book early for dinner as a large convention was taking place in the hotel and they would also be dining that night. We sat down at 7pm in a deserted restaurant as the convention was dining in a separate dining room! A final word on our drive to Lerma - we drove up from Sigüenza on the back roads via Imon and Esterbanvela. For the first 80 miles of that drive we did not see another car on our side of the road - no-one in front of us, no-one behind us. It was just relaxed driving on empty roads with beautiful views all the way - one of the best drives that I have ever done. We stopped at Esterbanvela for a coffee - a memorable open-air coffee at the side of the road!"
