    • Friendly staff. Old school feel, but seemingly new rooms. Great location!
    • Nice hotel. Great staff. Clean comfortable room.
    • Location

    Cons -

    • Expensive, odd rooms, probably to accommodate peregrinos.
    • If I have to complain that the towels are small and thin, you know I'm reaching for anything negative. Seriously the place was near perfect
    • Nothing to report. The staff kept our Nicholas until we left … they didn’t have to.❤️❤️❤️

    Inexpensive, good value, good location, air conditioning, large room

    The bed and pillows were too firm for my liking

    9SusanPosted on: 6-14-2025

    Good location, clean, loved having an elevator aftercare long day of walking

    Confusion regarding breakfast, we thought it was included, but wasn't. The tortilla was barely warm..

    8AnnePosted on: 6-1-2025

    Great front desk staff! They let me leave my bag behind the desk while I walked around both before and after check out

    The token had the cleaned and sanitized sack but when I opened the toilet, someone had gone to the bathroom (#2) and it hasn’t been flushed, it made me question the cleaning of the rest of the room. Also air conditioner didn’t really work at all.

    8KarenPosted on: 5-19-2025

    Great locationSafe underground parkingRestaurant staff was lovely and the food was good. Good Americano coffee

    Nothing really. The desk staff was a little grumpy. Probably frustrated w communication with us as we had no Spanish speaking skills

    The hotel is right on the Camino de Santiago so after a challenging day it was a lovely reward, especially the opportunity to soak in the tub.We made the reservation the day before, and lucked out and got an 'on-line special' so the room was good value. It was clean, spacious with good lighting.A breakfast of toast, jam, fresh squeezed orange juice, tea or coffee is available for less than 6 euros.

    9LizBPosted on: 12-16-2024

    Location was excellent. The sound proof window and light blocking shade. Clean and spacious.

    I booked all the stays with booking.com with my name and my payment method. My guest (my father) was listed. Apparently, they did not have my name on the reservation but they had my dad. Why? Because he is a male and I am not? I believe that is the case and I’m extremely offended.

    Location was very good; staff were helpful; room was clean and vomfortable

    Food in the restaurant was very good; on first night I had dinner in the hotel restaurant and was very pleased; there was a large group in the dining room but I was easily accommodated; on my second evening there two groups in the dining room and combined fewer people than the large group on my first evening; the dining room would not accommodate me so I had to go elsewhere

    8ErniePosted on: 11-5-2024

    Perfect location for starting to walk the Camino Invierno. All staff were professional and very helpful. would stay here again if in Ponferrada.

    10StevenPosted on: 10-28-2024

    Very comfortable room. Excellent bathroom facilities. Excellent location for sightseeing.

    7KenPosted on: 10-17-2024

    Very convent to the Camino and literally next door to the castle and old town

    Property has seen better days, still is was good for us passing through. Would recommend to those on the Camino for a good nights rest

    7DarenPosted on: 10-15-2024

    Good central location, but do not book breakfast!

    The breakfast was very poor, one coffee and one slice of toast for €10, it was extortionate! A second coffee was extra charge!

    10GregPosted on: 9-21-2024

    Great location across from castle. Staff was excellent, very helpful. My wife hurt her knee and they directed us to a local medical clinic where she received wonderful care.

    8JuliaPosted on: 9-13-2024

    Needed a nice clean private room after I tumbled down the Camino, which threw me for a loop. Good breakfast this morning.

    7JuliettePosted on: 8-13-2024

    Incredibly well located to explore Ponferrada Nice staff, very helpfulSimple but clean rooms, perfect for a night on the go

    A bit noisy on the road, we were woken up a couple of times by motos and noisy cars

    7TomPosted on: 8-6-2024

    Thank you for putting up with my dreadful Spanish. Great location next to the castle and east to get to and from. Plenty of on street parking around. Comfortable room. Coffee was superb at breakfast. And there’s a great pizza place just down the hill with the cutest cats!
