Some pluses: the shower was great and it was close to the castle. The minuses: unwelcoming check-in process, hard beds, and generally unfriendly staff. As we were walking the Camino, we wanted to relax. As soon as we arrived, we were treated as unwelcome guests. Trying to sleep, we were assaulted by super hard beds. It was not a pleasant... More

Location is the best! It`s trifling matter to go to the casttle from the hotel! Just 1-2 minutes! Hotel is good. Big room and clean, good bath. Breakfast and stuff not so.

Recently I and my other half were walking a part of the Camino; Ponferrada was our final stop after six tough enough days! We arrived at the hotel after a 17km trek, that thankfully took us around the city so avoiding main roads, etc., to be 'greeted' by three young 'widows'. Neither look us in the eye, smiled, welcomed us... More

Staff were helpful. Hotel is clean and that is the positive!! Rooms on the road side are noisy and the rooms are very basic. The beds are the worst I have ever slept on since I went camping as a kid. They felt like the "old straw mattress" and when you woke up after no sleep you realise why!!! If... More

We stayed here for one night as this was a convenient hotel for the old town, and our first choice hotel was going to be affected that night by a noisy concert. Our room was small, dark and smelt overpoweringly of air-freshener (to mask cigarette smells?), and the window opened only onto a light well. Not brilliant, but it was... More
