Pros:

It was right in the heart of Vigo, lots of restaurants, lots of beautiful views of the city end of the waterways!
The staff was exceptional! They let us check in early, give us restaurant ideas, and booked us a taxi!!!

Agréable et bien placé
Pros:

situation géographique, la litterie

Cons:

La responsable de réception (le matin du 28/04/26), désagréable, arrogante et mal élevée.
Pas de possibilité de commander des œufs au plat au petit déjeuner.
Pas de grand mirroir dans la chambre, juste dans la salle de bain...
Pas de fontaine d'eau à l'accueil...
on parle d'un 4 étoiles...

Hotel sehr schön mitten drin dadurch aber sehr laut.
Pros:

Die Lage ist super. Mitten im aktiven Leben. Alles gut zu Fuß erreichbar.

Cons:

Bei offener Balkontüre war der Lärm bis 4 Uhr morgens ganz schön laut. Für Ruhe suchende nicht zu empfehlen.

Pros:

Tem uma localização ótima pois fica perto de tudo mas ao mesmo tempo fica numa rua menos movimentada o que é excelente!
O quarto tem uma vista bonita, os funcionários são bastante atenciosos e o pequeno almoço estava ótimo!
Para quem quer relaxar sem confusão é otimo!

Cheap hotel with premium rates
Pros:

The location and breakfast were good

Cons:

The AC didn't work. The room was too hot. We had to open the balcony door to cool the room, however the road noise was then a problem.
Instead of an apology the receptionist just said the temperature of all the rooms is controlled centrally. It is either hot or cold. She added that next week it would be changed to cold. Of course that was not helpful at all.
The hotel has the overall impression of a cheap hotel with no investment. But charging premium rates.
Poor customer service
The bar was shut
The room is small
The room cups are disposable paper cups
The room is dark
The decor is cheap hotel
No parking
