“Agreeable Pousada”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed here last October after a day of slogging through the rains of Galicia, and was quite happy to check in and enjoy the pousada's excellent bathtub. My room provided an excellent view of the valley. While it was too rainy for me to try the pool, it still seemed open for use.

I did not have the negative experience of the restaurant which others seem to have-- the food was not exceptional, but it was reasonable for the price. What was notable was the conduct of the restaurant staff when one of the guests collapsed at the table through dehydration and exhaustion. They leapt to her aid, called promptly for medical assistance, and assisted her from the room to the nearby lounge where she was attended by a doctor within a few minutes.

The pousada reflects the Spain of twenty years ago and is not a boutique joint, but the friendliness and hospitality of the staff easily make up for that.

Room Tip: Valley-side rooms have an excellent view.

“Great stay”

We booked direct with the hotel via their website and had no problems getting a two night stay with breakfast only. Only a short walk into town where there were a few choices for lunch and dinner. The pool was gorgeous but could have done with some sun loungers etc.

“nice room, lovely staff, god awful food”

we stayed here while hiking the camino--a bit dificult to find, but really nice place with gorgeous view, great pool and incredibly lovely staff. But in order to book it in advance we had to take the meal plan--as with several of the hotels along the camino who required the meal plan, that's where they made their money--the breakfasts were adequate buffet style, but the suppers were impalatable. I should have realized that when i overheard a group tour leader telling his tour that even though they had supper included he suggested they go down the street to a cafe for supper. There was a great flautist playing in the church in the town square in the evening--if he is playing, it's worth a go.

Room Tip: athe shack bar food isn't bad, and it's a beautiful place to sit for a mixed salad and enjo...

“Nice Hotel, Great staff!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2011

person found this review helpful

We stayed here on the second night of our trek on the last section of the Comino. The hotel was at the 'far end' of the village so, for walkers on the Comino, it entailed a little trek up a steep set of steps and then right through the village of Portomarin. (We had to retrace our steps the next morning, back to the bottom of those steps!) The hotel was clean and efficient and the staff were more than helpful. It seemed obvious that there was not enough staff on duty in the dining room but the two people on duty ran themselves into the ground to make sure we were all looked after. We had no complaints and enjoyed our brief stop here.

“I'd love to go back”

Best place to stay on the whole Camino! I enjoyed it more than the 4 star place we stayed at in Santiago. Lovely hotel - great swimming pool. My starter of pancakes in mushroom sauce was the best thing I ate the whole holiday. Went with friends - am hoping to persuade my partner to go there with me one day.
