Pros:

Hotel hat uns mit einer netten Dachterrasse überrascht, von der man auf die Bucht von Vigo schauen kann. Frühstück mäßig... Preis/Leistung ok.

Easily exceeded our expectations - wonderful
Pros:

Outstanding stay WELL above our expectations, room was spacious clean and with a fantastic view over the estuary. Staff were SUPER helpful, breakfast was plentiful and excellent. Everything worked well and the roof top was delightful. Really is much better than it's hotel rating - wonderful, thank you.

Cons:

It was a bit of a hike back across the busy bridge into town to get dinner - but this is a very minor whine really.

Bright room BUT Inadequate In So Many Ways!
Pros:

I liked the brightness of my room

Cons:

The noise of flushing toilets,walking, talking & general chit chat through thin walls .
Neither did I like the 2 tier poor Service & manners, from Milena ( dining room staff member) & Florenzio when I chose the restaurant budget menu!
Food is poor all round ! Breakfast was poor quality too!
