Ribera del Júcar, Castilla - La Mancha hotel rooms at the Independent

"Excellent time here. We stayed in January it is definitely off season. We reserved the upgraded room, and was not disappointed, Our room had a huge window with a seating area embedded into the wall. A large bathroom with tub and shower. Ample hot water. A queen sized bed with red cloth draped over top. A mini bar with some beer and soda, (Extra) We asked reception where to take good photos and she handed us the key for the top of the guard wall! The hotel has a bar, and a restaurant, open for breakfast and dinner (and maybe lunch? We didn't check) We used the restaurant for breakfast, it was included. Which was great, not a buffet. You choose a main from a menu and they provided some meats and cheese tray. It was better than we expected, and amazing ambience. We had dinner in the restaurant. The atmosphere was excellent they had a fixed menu which had food we didn't want so we ordered a la carte, it was excellent. With a bottle of water and wine. It was 90 euros. So not low cost. But good value considering we were in a castle. We witnessed one guest who was angry because he couldn't find a quiet place to read, he felt the bar was too loud. And his room was too small. Our room was the only one on our floor of the main tower and was not small. chair. But we did notice that other floors had 2 rooms. So much smaller rooms exist. Our experience was great, we left happy, it is worth the drive to Alarcon! "

"room clean, staff friendly. "

"Just an overnight stay. We did not have breakfast however the coffee was excellent and the staff amazing. Recommend as a good central place to stay Car park very tight, if you have a large vehicle I doubt you could fit down the slope to the underground parking. However very secure "

"Jose on reception went above and beyond for us helping us with a forgotten item in Paradore Lerma. Hotel is situated just off the motorway with more than enough facilities. Would stay agin"

"It’s very beautiful. Great staff"

"It was a cozy and comfortable place. Unique in the way it is built into the cliff. "

"A huge impressive building that’s low level (three floors). The spa (water jets and sauna superb after our 3.5 hour drive) and bar/lounge areas were great to relax in. The exterior poor cladding and some aspects of the building could make it a stunning place if given a refresh and detailing. The room was large, well presented, very clean and really quiet. Easy access of the main routes and quick drive into the city. A welcoming staff made it a perfect stopover. "

"ok; great views of the town, Alcala del Jucar; it is not in the town, is in another town, car is needed, no transportation available there; nothing around it, so car is needed to get food etc. Nice though, a bit pricey for what you get."

"Opposite a large park but quiet. Close to all shops and easy walking. Very helpful staff, and great bed and bathroom. "
