Es war ein wunderbarer Aufenthalt, den wir Dank des netten Personals sehr genossen haben!
Pros:

Das Personal war sehr herzlich, aufmerksam und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück war hervorragend: frisch, abwechslungsreich und von bester Qualität. Es wurde am Tisch serviert, was ich im Gegensatz zu den üblichen Frühstücksbuffets sehr genossen habe. Eier und Milchspeisen konnte man extra bestellen und wurden frisch zubereitet. In dem angegliederten Schokoladenshop hat man eine Auswahl an diversen Schokoladenköstlichkeiten.

Cons:

Das Mobiliar, bzw. die Polster könnten überarbeitet werden, aber das ist nur ein kleiner Minuspunkt.

Kleine Auszeit vom Camino mit bestem Frühstück
Pros:

Sehr schönes Hotel mit nettem Personal und der besten heißen Schokolade der Welt (kostenlos)!
Hätte gern alle Zimmer gesehen, wenn sie so unterschiedlich sind.
Das Frühstück war bombastisch, hätte gern „gehamstert“ 😁
Würde wiederkommen, wenn ich mal wieder in den Ort komme und es auch weiterempfehlen.

Cons:

Der Raum wurde recht warm, wenn man die Klimaanlage ausschaltet. Draußen war es aber eigentlich gar nicht so warm. Seltsam.

This is RIGHT on the Camino and it is a glorious place to stay! Loved the welcome chocolate and drink. Super comfortable beds.

Love this place!!
Pros:

I had a rest day due to a fall that day and I could not have picked a better more comfortable and close to city center place! The breakfast was ridiculously good.

Viagem ao norte de Portugal e Galícia
Pros:

Ficamos num quarto no segundo andar, sem problema, pois o hotel possui elevador. O quarto é agradável, mas não possui uma poltrona para um descanso no quarto. O quarto e banheiro poderiam ser um pouco maior. O café da manhã é servido na mesa, os produtos são muito gostosos, mas acho que tem muito desperdício, já que vem muitos tipos de pães, panquecas, calda de chocolate, doces, frutas, uma jarra de suco de laranja e algumas coisas não consumimos, sobrou na bandeja.

Cons:

Não possui estacionamento próprio, mas podemos deixar o carro num estacionamento próximo, a um custo menor, o problema é que na frente do hotel não existe um local para podermos tirar e colocar as malas no carro.
