Parador Monasterio de Corias

We were really looking forward to staying at Parador de Corias. This was our first time in Spain and our first stay at a Parador, and we were also staying here as part of our honeymoon. Unfortunately, what should have been a special part of our trip was severely affected by a wedding held at the property. The wedding music continued until approximately 5am and was loud enough inside our room that we could not sleep at all. This wasn't a minor noise issue or occasional disturbance, we effectively lost the entire night's sleep. We were completely exhausted the following day and had planned to visit Somiedo, but we had to cancel our planned trip and spend the day in our room recovering. We lost an entire day of our honeymoon because we were too exhausted to continue with our plans. To make matters worse, at around 9:30am, after we had finally managed to fall asleep, housekeeping knocked on our door asking whether we wanted the room cleaned, despite our Do Not Disturb sign being displayed. We raised the issue with reception and submitted a formal written complaint. The Director subsequently responded to us and explained that the hotel had conducted noise tests which suggested the rooms should have experienced almost no noise from the wedding. We asked for appropriate compensation for the affected night. The Director said the hotel could not compensate us because we had booked through Agoda, and instead offered a free room upgrade if we return in the future. Agoda subsequently directed us back to the property, leaving us caught between the hotel and booking platform. The Parador itself is beautiful and the setting is impressive, but a beautiful historic building does not make up for losing an entire night's sleep and a day of our honeymoon. If you are considering staying here, I would strongly recommend checking whether weddings or large events are taking place during your dates. Based on our experience, I would be very cautious about booking during an event, particularly if getting a good night's sleep is important to you.
