Reviews of Hotel Scala 3 stars

All was good, and for peligrims really very important to have rest near the swimming pool before the last day of Camino.

Clean and comfortable rooms. Friendly front desk staff. Since we were going to leave early before breakfast started, they were kind enough to have a packed breakfast for us at 5 am. Very nice attached restaurant as well as cafe.

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

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...

The Air conditioning and setting.

Perfect Location along the camino way. Nice staff.

Clean. Nice pool.

Location was right on camino route

Food not great. Rooms very small. Bathroom minute. No aircon

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 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.

Great pool

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.

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.

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.

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.

The pool was so good, it’s right on the Camino way - comfortable and staff were fabulous, so helpful and welcoming

All good

Clean. Good location along the Camino. Fair price.
