“A nice place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2011

Although we've just stayed one night the experience was very positive. The staff at the reception and the one we met on corridors was always extremely polite and helpful. The hotel is located at a very busy street, but there is a parking place at a 1 minute walk if you are travelling with your care.
The room we've stayed in, although a little bit small for people and luggage, was very modern and had all the amenities and things necessary to spend a very confortable night there.
Personally the most positive point of the hotel is the location: only a 10 minute walk from the Cathedral, with various shops and places to eat on the way.

“Basic and clean”

Just a five min walk form the historic centre, parking is 9€. Our room was spacious and nice, the staff quite rude. WiFi was free but rather slow. Breakfast was basic. All in all, worth the money.

“reasonable but with some very rude staff”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 July 2010

people found this review helpful

Good location just a short walk away from the main tourist attractions. If arriving by car from the south then be aware then that in June 2010 the whole road system around the railway station was being dug up as part of extensive road works. This caused us a few unwanted detours. The hotel is clean an tidy with good facilities and breakfast. Unfortunately the young lady doing the breakfasts was extremely rude to us on the morning we left, just after I'd paid our 360 euro bill, which rather spoiled our impression of the hotel.

Clean hotel in a convenient location, just minutes away from the train station. This Hotel was very close to the old part of town and the main attractions. The staff was very polite and helpful. Rooms were spacious and well maintained.

  • Liked — Friendly staff, conenient location, clean rooms
  • Tips/Secrets — Great seafood restaurants in the old part of town. Weather is unpredictatable

“Basic but nice and a good spot”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 May 2006

We stayed here over the Easter weekend. The rates were reasonably pricey for a 3 star (about £80/night), but this is because it was Easter and because it is pretty central.

The rooms were clean and were a decent size for a 3 star, and there was a buffet breakfast consisting of toast, cold meats, pastries etc. The guy at the front desk didn't speak too much English but was friendly and the hotel was very quiet.

The location was excellent. It's about a 10-15 minute stroll up the hill to the cathedral, but only about a 5 minute walk to the top of the hill where you feel you're in the town centre. It's situated opposite the Galician Parliament building which is a good looking building and there is a little supermarket type shop just up the road which proved handy. The train station and car hire depots are at the bottom of the road (about 2 minutes walk) which is handy if you want to go on a day trip, which we did to La Coruna (recommended).

Overall, I enjoyed staying here and would recommend it if you are looking for a nice, simple hotel in a good location.
