No services at the swimming pool, expensive choices for dinner in the hotel, every thing needs to be paid apart, like renting towels to the swimming pool...

Swimming pool was truly good to relax after the day into the camino.

Clean, very convenient location, parking outside and friendly staff

The wifi is terrible. My laptop warned me the connection wasn’t secure. That didn’t really matter because the connection continually dropped out so I mostly had to use my phone service anyway.

Right on the Camino. After nearly 2 weeks of guesthouses, shared apartments and hostels it was very nice to be in a real hotel. Even though the Hotel Scala is one of those old places with faded carpets and long hall ways with dozens of rooms all exactly the same it had good a/c which was wonderful after days without it in the Spanish heatwave and there was lovely crisp linen. My room was right down the end of a hallway and very quiet. Okay food in the cafeteria with extensive kitchen hours.

The staff were rude. Not just one person but all involved behind the desk. I chose to ignore it, and smiled through the process. I was hot and tired but when we walked into the elevator, my husband, who usually says nothing, made a comment. He was spot on. In general, they seem to cater to tour buses and not the average person. We didn't require anything above or beyond our room so we only had to deal with the staff checking in and checking out. Checking in was ten minutes. If you can get past that, then I would recommend staying.

The hotel was beautiful. Some reviews said it was run down but I found it to be lovely. Historic. Clean. We were exhausted after a day of walking and it was wonderful to have an air conditioned room with a large shower right on the Camino. The cafe downstairs served sandwiches and burgers if you want to eat before the dinner hour. The food was very good. The room was large and clean.

Our triple room was a little cramped and so it wasn't possible to sit at the desk without moving the beds. It's a bit of a hike to the pool, but worth it once you get there. Wi-Fi can be hit or miss.

One thing that sets this property apart from others is the friendly and helpful staff. Whether at the front desk, in the restaurant/bar or breakfast room, they always went the extra mile to ensure that we had everything we needed. The rooms and facilities are clean and well-kept. It's great to have a pool to relax in after a long walk from Caldas de Reis. Having an affordable bar and restaurant means that you don't need to go back into Padrón for lunch, dinner or a snack.

Front desk staff was a little inhospitable, but there was a large group checking in. Morning staff much better.

Right on the Camino path. Comfortable rooms with air conditioning that worked almost too well. The restaurant downstairs was a little splurge the night before our end of the Camino. Honestly was one of the best grilled steaks I have ate anywhere! The server, while she was the only one staffed tables, was friendly, efficient, and wished us a buen Camino. I didn't get her name.

No kettle or cups in room. No freezer to make ice packs for all our sore spots (we were on camino, older walkers and had been using ice packs for recovery.) 5euro non refundable pool towel. If we trying our towel should have been refundable. Not enough dinner food choices. Being so far from padron we didn’t have much choice about good.

The swimming pool, breakfast buffet, hot shower, room we were given on 1st floor, staff very helpful.

A spacious, smart and well-equipped hotel, with a choice of restaurants and good buffet breakfast. The Camino passes right by the door, so perfect stopover for walkers.
