    Having to buzz the front desk for them to let us back in every time we left the hotel.

    The room was spacious and we loved the spa tub after a long day of hiking.

    A good resting place for pilgrims. Short walk to town. Friendly staff. Comfortable bed. Older style hotel which was nice. Laundry next door which was very convenient to wash some clothes

    Great location near the old town and lots of restaurants and bars/cafes. This is an older hotel with "old world charm" decor - room was comfy and perfectly sized for two of us and our backpacks. Bathroom was a bit small but great powered and hot shower. Restaurant downstairs serves good food (although a little more expensive than some of the otherplaces nearby). Recommended!

    Staying here feels like stepping back in time. This charming, family-run hotel exudes warmth and hospitality, with wonderfully kind staff who make you feel right at home. While breakfast is simple, don’t miss the dinner — it’s truly exceptional and a highlight of the stay. The location is unbeatable: just a stone’s throw from the city center and perfectly situated right on the Camino.

    Older style hotel, could use a little bit of remodeling. But it’s still great.

    The location is perfect, within walking distance of restaurants, and old town. The Camino perfectly aligned with this hotel location. The front desk was informative and provided a map for local points of interest. The room and bed were comfortable. They also have the best oversized bath towels.

    I had no issues.

    After a few days in hostels on the Camino, I was pleased to have a room to myself. I found it to be clean, comfortable and reasonably priced. I ate in the restaurant when I arrived and have to say the food was delicious, despite being quite expensive by comparison to other restaurants. That said, it was great quality and very convenient.

    Wish I had known or thought to reserve breakfast the night before. Still able to get a very nice coffee and toast from very accommodating staff, but the prearranged breakfasts looked great.

    Excellent staff. Clean and comfortable. The early breakfast and laundry next door were a big bonus. Ever better- the fantastic lunch at Chef Rivera’s restaurant!

    Solid location. Excellent food.

    A quirk of the hotel is that the lift/elevator stops on the "half" floor, or the landing between floors. That could be difficult for someone with accessibility issues who would have to navigate stairs by either walking up or down half a flight.

    O.M.G. I had dinner in the restaurant, and I think I had one of the best fillets I've ever eaten! Dinner was reasonably priced — and the food was excellent. The hotel is slightly off the path for the Camino de Santiago — but not significantly so. It's worth going off the path for this one!

    Breakfast/coffee service didn't begin until 8:30am (due to slower season, I believe). I left at 7:30am, and was able to find coffee across the main road, but would have loved to have had it available at the hotel!

    Quiet and peaceful place to stay along Camino (a few blocks off of the actual Camino). Staff were very kind and helpful. Easy to explore Padròn, and I was given great info on what to see + do when I checked in.

    Travellers with limited mobility may wish to know that although there is a lift, it stops at the stair landing for some floors meaning that you will have to climb steps to the floor with your luggage

    Nice hotel in older building.
