stayed in this hotel for a month while working in Ferol.the hotel is clean and comfortable, it is fairly central to everything. the rooms are large enough and the bathrooms are large, shampoo, shower gel are provided and refreshed daily as were the towels. only english channel on the tv is bbc world news, but this was to be expected. all in all a comfortable stay. supermarket 100 yards away,and you are never far from a bar werever you are in ferrol.

Hotel was booked for location - closest to the train station for an early morning get away on the FEVE train. If you too are planning a trip on the FEVE (morning departure time is 8:10), then this hotel which is less than five minutes walk away is ideal.

The room was large, comfortable and clean. The restaurant/bar was open late until 23:00, and was cheap - a couple of hot drinks and pinchos cost 4euros in total. The wi-fi was free and worked well throughout the hotel and outside the restaurant.

The only downside to the hotel was the restaurant didn't open for breakfast until 8am on a weekend (7am rest of the week) which was too late to get anything before our train journey. Nothing in Ferrol was open before that time, so be prepared and buy some snacks for the train before you go (remember - there is no catering on FEVE trains). The four stars of the hotel are probably overrated - but, then again the price reflects this.

The hotel is also ideally located in Ferrol for exploring. Streets in Magdalena district (the grid layed out streets that the hotel is on) are interesting for a stroll, with some nice tapas restaurants and coffee shops amongst them. The harbour front (Paseo de Marina) also had a row of nice bars overlooking the marina, and a very helpful tourist information with several interesting leaflets about the town in English.

I visited Ferrol for business and sayed at Hotel Almirante. It seems that part of the hotel is renovated but they still have some of the old rooms. In the floor of my room there as an used tooth pick and the the room looked old. Just go to other hotel

Barcelo Almirante Ferrol (English spoken) was an unassuming, not expensive but comfortable hotel for our one night. It gave us a decent sized quiet bedroom and quite a large restaurant with a good variety of choice - very nicely cooked. The breakfast selection was very good and fresh and there was more variety than at any other of our hotel destinations. Hotel staff fell over each other to offer an excellent service without being intrusive. The spotless railway station (reflecting the efficient clean cheap and comfortable northern Spanish rail service), was 10 minutes walk away. I would stay here again. If travelling by train around Spain and over 60 and an EU citizen, test the Spanish bureaucracy by patiently insisting on buying a Tarjeta Dorada 12 month OAP ticket to get good discounts.
