Good hotel
Lovely hotel in the centre of Vigo. Unfortunately the door to the balcony leaked due to the torrential rain we experienced one night. The bar was not open during our 3 night stay. Vigo is very, very hilly.

Nice place, friendly staff. Right in front of the port. No cafeteria or restaurant service weekends, only breakfast and room minibar. Hart to find a nice restaurant close to Hotel, something rare in Galicia

Beautiful hotel and great price/quality ratio. The only problem we had was parking. The hotel does not offer parking or a valet to attend to the car. The hotel recommended a parking lot but it was too far walking for us (seniors) and we had to park across the street where the price was high (30 euros just overnight). Other than that, everything was very nice. Room, staff, food, drinks, etc
