Parador de Tortosa

Like all the Paradores we visited, this was very impressive. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The food was excellent. All in all, I could not recommend this location more highly.

**Be aware before booking - outdoor summer pool does not work in summer** It's a nice hotel with friendly staff. It is very well located within walking distance of key attractions and offers good value for money. As other users have written, it is a bit worn out, but everything works properly. The layout is a bit strange though; for example, when sitting in the bar/ terrace, you are facing the parked cars overlooking the car park. The outdoor pool is closed in summer due to renovations – these could be carried out during other periods. It doesn't look like it will open soon.

We booked a room in the Parador to have a relaxed weekend in the area and enjoy the pool on the last day. When we arrived, we unfortunately saw the pool was being reconstructed and therefore closed for visitors. When we asked the reception about this (on our booking confirmation they told us the pool would be opened already), they lied to our face telling us they changed the information online and we booked in advance so we should have checked for updates. After this strange comment, we checked online and there was nothing mentioned about the pool being closed. However, the day after we checked again and they changed the info behind our backs to mention the pool would be closed until end of June. We really didn´t like this poor treatment and lying from the receptionist, who tried to blame us for not checking their info, which was not even correct in the first place.
