Gute Lage - Hotel mit Potential, das leider nicht gehoben wird
Pros:

Die Lage ist gut in Pontevedra

Cons:

Von einem Parador-Hotel erwartet man sich mehr, bei der Ausstattung, beim Frühstücks-Angebot und -Service - das Potential wäre da, aber das Management scheint Probleme zu haben.

Although this property is beautiful and old with exceptionally sized bedrooms, I don’t believe it was worth what we paid
Pros:

The property was beautiful and the rooms were spacious, clean and had a double sink and bathtub. It was a beautiful large room

Cons:

There were no extra touches. The staff was neither friendly nor unfriendly. They simply did their job. For an expensive night there was no water in the room, very little to no food available.

A magnificent Venue sadly no longer so magnificent
Pros:

Have stayed at this magnificent establishment several times over the last 30 years but had not been since before Covid.

The spacious, airy rooms are magnificent with large comfy beds, opulent bathrooms and fab old-time shutters so this makes for a great sleep as it's also so quiet.

The feel of the place - with its random chambers dotted with antique armchairs and adorned by dark ancient paintings, a wonderful outside terrace and ample, relaxing garden with interspersed little chairs and tables - is sublime.

There's a cosey bar too and a giant living room.

Further, the centre of this charming town - a miniature version of nearby Santiago - is charming, with lots of quirky indie shops, cafés, squares, and colonnades - and only a 10 minute walk.

Cons:

Alas, however: there is no longer any parking, and, though the nearest car park is only a couple of minutes walk its underground facilities are horrendously cramped and totally unsuitable for anything beyond a Mini or a small Fiat and it reeks of fish as it's beneath the town's market.
Also, though Paradors were never famed for their food, their sumptuous multi choice breakfasts were mythical, but now - at a whopping 20€ a head - what was on offer here was a very poor offering indeed.
The price too - up by 30/40% since Covid - seems unwarranted too.

Wunderschöne, edle Unterkunft
Pros:

Das edle Hotel ist in jedem Bereich so schön anzuschauen. Die Zimmer sind geräumig und Stiegenhaus/ Aufenthaltsbereiche sehen toll aus. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend, beide Rezeptionisten/ innen sprechen sogar deutsch, hatten wir in Spanien noch nicht. Die Lage in der Altstadt, nur wenige Schritte vom Camino, war ebenfalls toll.

Cons:

Es gab nichts zu beanstanden

Pros:

Le repas servi au restaurant hormis la longueur du service
La gentillesse de l accueil
La propreté

Cons:

Les chambres sont froides et non chauffées sans peignoir à disposition pour le prix et un parador.
Le service au restaurant très lent,on a attendu 1 h pour avoir un verre de vin et un bout de pain, les menus présentés étaient tachés de gras

Le petit déjeuner basique sans recherche locale, aucune plus value pour un parador, aucun produit fait maison alors qu on pourrait s'attendre à plus de qualité pour 20€/pers et pour un parador.

Historic hotel while on the Camino Portuguese
Pros:

We had two rooms on the fourth floor of this historic hotel. Great location very near to the Portuguese Camino and a short walking distance to many restaurants and cafes. Very clean, nice linens and a good sized bathroom with great shower pressure once we figured out how to have water come out of the shower head (pull out hard on the knob on the side).

Cons:
