Opción recomendable, al lado de la estación intermodal y cerca de la Plaza del Obradoiro.
Pros:

Ubicación muy cómoda a 5 minutos, literalmente, de la estación intermodal ( Bus/Tren) y a escasos minutos 15 de la Plaza del Obradoiro.
Personal muy atento, instalaciones muy correctas con equilibrio perfecto entre precio-calidad.

Cons:

El único "pero" el ruido de los aparatos de aire acondicionado , quizás un cambio a equipos más silenciosos sería la reforma recomendada a esta competitiva cadena hotelera para Alda San Carlos.
Sin duda, repetiré!

Pros:

Muy gentil el chico de la Noche y Patricia me soluciono los inconvenientes que tuve

Cons:

No vi una alternativa distinta al desayuno que ofrecía el hotel.
Ejemplo
Un cafe con leche y tostadas con dulce o tomate
Como los desayunos que ofrece el bar de la esquina
