Had to leave key when you go out, not a bad system but do feel bad when returning late and it discouraged us from nipping back to the hotel as and when and instead opted to spend all day out. Only 1 modern plug in the room, there were others but these were an old style so couldn´t actually use them.

Nice location, little bit outside of the main town centre but only a 5 minute walk really. Owners are very lovely and have a friendly dog Clean, tidy and quiet room. Had great views from the terrace Shower worked great, but was tiny!

It's a little out of the town centre, an uphill walk of maybe half a mile. But this means it's quiet and you're already part of the way up the hill for the next day if you're walking the Camino!

The hosts here are so welcoming. Their dog is cute, too. Good breakfast, nice terrace. It's a grand building, very clean.

The walk from town was a bit too far.

Beautiful property. Kind staff!

A 3.30pm check-in is very late - especially if you have been walking the Camino and want to rest when you arrive in Pontedeume The shower was very small Having to wait until someone answered the bell and opened the gate at the bottom of the hill did not feel very welcoming The hostel is a bit of a walk outside of the main town

It was very clean The bed was comfortable It was very quiet and tranquil

Nice private hostel. Lovely host. Camino Ingles passes through Pontedeume, while the accommodation is not directly in the town, you can connect to the Camino a bit further, plus you already have part of the hill done 😊

Not being able to drop my backpack there earlier. I got to their place around 1:00p, asked through the intercom if I could just drop my backpack, but they were strict about not even opening their gate until 3:00p, and suggested I just walk back into town, have lunch. I explored the town with my pack on. Not a huge thing - the room was sparse - would have liked to have some hooks or hangars.

The owners were a delight--really fun! Loved chatting with them. Nice green setting off the road and enjoyed sitting on the bench out front to relax with a book and emails.

The location was great and the owner/couple accomodated us for early check in as we arrived early. Since we arrived there on Easter Sunday they helped us for church information to attend the Easter Mass. And this hostel has a beautiful chapel where you can pray and be with God.

It was extremely peaceful, on a hill with a garden with views to sit and relax.

Perhaps a better dryer?

This is a friendly family run hotel that is quiet and contemplative. Everyone was very friendly and helpful with any issues. Rooms very clean.

Breakfast arrived later than advertised. The coffee quality (unusually for Galicia in my experience) was deeply disappointing and the fare, minimal. Wifi coverage is patchy & did not include my room at all

The edge of town location is a virtue. Its peaceful. The staff were welcoming & helpful. Water for showering was both hot and delivered at high pressure (good for me!)

There didn't seem to be WiFi in the room, which would have been useful. Also, some bedside lamps would be good, in addition to the main ceiling light. The midnight deadline for being back in the hostel could be difficult if you wanted to go to a concert or festival in the evening, as things start & finish late in Spain.. However, as it is a hostel aimed primarily at walkers, who will usually be making early starts, the curfew is understandable. .

Lovely, friendly staff. Good location for walking into town or to the beach. Basic room with comfortable beds, and very clean. Enjoyed sitting outside, in the late evenings, watching the sunset & having a drink while taking in the beautiful view. Didn't eat breakfast there, as were going out in the mornings, but it was impressive that they offered a vegetarian option. As the hostel is primarily aimed at Camino walkers, there is a midnight curfew, which meant that the hostel was nice & quiet at night. All in all, a lovely place to stay.

Staff of one was eager to please.

We had the warmest welcome from our hosts who couldn’t have been more hospitable. The dinner was amazing and plenty of it. The views are stunning from this lovely old ex- convent. The showers were hot and powerful. Our host spoke English which was helpful.

Neat and original hostal placed in a panoramic location, a few hundred meters away from the town centre. The owners were super hospitable, warm and helpful. Breakfast was excellent for the price.

The rooms are less plush than newer hotels, but the host were sweet, caring people who made sure we had something to eat after a very long day on the Camino. They were very kind to us as was their little dog Lucas.

Beautiful historic building now owned by the Roman Catholic Church and operated as a hostal and retreat center. Beautiful architecture and history.

My son and I enjoyed our stay here. The couple that run it were very pleasant and accommodating. We had an excellent stay here. She made a homemade delicious meal for the two of us the evening we were there. Her husband served us. We paid 18 Euros each for the meal and drinks. It was truly worth it! Thank you to both of you.

Please see the above

As this is fully automated, you will not know that the hotel transferred me to Rio Eume due to a 'breakdown'. Rio Eume was lovely, at €18, yet I paid €40 to stay at Hostal San Cristobal. I have written to them, twice, and you to ask for a refund of €22 - ie the difference in cost - but have heard nothing thus far

The hostel was fancy! It doesn't quite look like a hostel, rather more like a hotel in a mansion on top of a hill. The interior is beautiful as well as the vista of the city from the garden. However, it is a 15-20 minute walk uphill, along a highway with heavy vehicles which could seem a long one if you are coming here while walking the camino. It is also necessary to consider that one has to walk back to the city for dinner and grocery as well. The next morning, it is the same walk before starting the camino again because the hostel is out of the camino ingles route. That was the only minus point for me in this hostel. Otherwise, the service inside the hostel was amazing!

Unfortunately, the value for money is not good. I came here as pilgrim (i.e., restricted weight) and the room did not have any shower soap. Also the room was very small for the price paid, with no WiFi and A/C.

The property is very clean and well maintained
