Don’t book this hotel for the SPA, otherwise nice hotel.
Pros:

Rooms were different, cool design, comfortable bed,excellent breakfast included.
Excellent location!

Cons:

There is no real SPA. I booked this hotel because they advertised SPA with Turkish bath and I was walking El Camino. There is pool and it was heated and that was nice, jacuzzi was the same temperature as pool with very weak jets. There is a one peace unit that consists of Sauna that was not working, cold shower ( that’s not a Turkish bath) and a steam room that did give some steam but not warm enough. That is a false advertisement. Reported sauna not working to reception but I bet nobody did anything about it to this day.

Diseño y comodidad
Pros:

Es un hotel original, muy bien situado y el personal muy agradable. La cama cómoda, el desayuno muy completo.
Vistas preciosas.

Cons:

..Para un 4 estrellas, está un poco abandonado. Lástima que las preciosas vistas sean desde un ventanal bastante sucio.
La habitación necesita un repaso. La ducha, fatal... en su día debía ser lo más moderno, pero necesita mantenimiento.

Pros:

Great location. Staff I dealt with very helpful. Facilated early breakfast as I had to get early train.

Cons:

Spa was in basement and felt eerie. Pool did not seem very clean. Inside handle missing from sauna. Breakfast very basic. As other have said musty damp smell in rooms and spa. Overpriced in my opinion.

Nice hotel in a beautiful town.
Pros:

The hotel is set in the beautiful main square of Caminha town. The receptionist was efficient, but adamant that check in would begin at 2:30pm and not before! The decor of the room was interesting, not necessarily our taste, but the room was large and the bed comfortable. We had a lovely dinner in the restaurant that night and were given a free bottle of wine. The waitress serving was amazing, she seemed to be on her own, with a restaurant full of people and was calm and pleasant to all. The food was very good. Breakfast next morning was good.
Caminha is a beautiful place to stay, cobbled streets, lots of restaurants, cafes and shops. Spain is literally a boat taxi ride across the water.

Cons:

A little more information could have been given by the receptionist about the hotel facilities. We were only there for one night, so it didn't really matter, but would be helpful to others.
