Guest reviews
Good
Liked: Quiteness and peace
It was nice to stay at this accommodation, good position and we enjoy the fridge inside our room. Very comfortable
Liked: Good position, close to the beach and many public transports
Disliked: The soap and shampoo was already finish when we first arrived, the shampoo was in the sink and not in the shower, and there was only one toilet roll, not enough for 5 nights stay. It would have been nice to have a mat outside the shower, so that when we got out we wouldn't get everything on the floor wet.
Liked: Room was very nice and clean and a good stay overall only down side was that the advertisement said 2 beds but we had to share a double. This could be lost in translation on booking.com
Disliked: Having to share a bed
Liked: Close to local cuisine and Camino Pilgrimmagre trail
Disliked: Nothing
Dated rooms and staff problems:,(
Liked: The location was good near the center of town, shopping, and restaurants
Disliked: We had room 1 and 5. Both were poorly maintained, dirty walls, and shower. The place is very simple and dated. The staff did not send entry codes so we waited hours to get into our rooms. The number on the listing would not accept calls. Bookings was able to contact the owner and the problem was quickly solved. Another was also unable to get access the same day do there seems to being be an issue with the staff or automated access system. The other reviews overrate this place
Uninhabitable, Misleading, and Unsafe – Avoid at All Costs
Liked: I have nothing good to say about this property. Please read the full review. Avoid at all costs!
Disliked: Uninhabitable, Misleading, and Unsafe – Avoid at All Costs This was by far the worst accommodation experience I’ve ever had. We booked a room “for 3 people,” but what we got was a standard double room with a flimsy folding bed that belongs in a camping kit, not a hotel. If I wanted to sleep like that, I’d have brought my own inflatable mattress. The room was dirty and the smell of mold was unbearable. I left the door open all day, sprayed air freshener I brought from home, and the smell it was still intolerable. Within hours, we couldn’t breathe properly. At 1:00 AM we had to leave because we couldn't breathe and staying inside was impossible without risking our health. To make matters worse, there was a huge centipede in the bathroom. That was the final straw. The listing photos and description are misleading – this is not a proper triple room. The hygiene conditions are unacceptable, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. We paid a high price for this booking, but the room wasn’t worth even half of it. Avoid this property if you value your health, comfort, or sanity.
