Parador de Pontevedra

We reserved a junior suite for one night. The room was pathetic and tired. Other than the little sitting area with a small, dingy sofa, it was nothing even close to a suite. Nothing at all like the photos online. Very basic. Two sinks and a small safe were the absolute highlights of the room. Two small windows with a view of a service courtyard. Don’t waste your money. The only reason for the two stars is the restaurant is pretty good. We are walking the Camino de Santiago and stayed in nicer double rooms in hostels!

Our 9th Parador over the years of our visits to Spain. Lovely historic facility. We had half board (a prebook deal), and the kitchen and menu were quite good! A downer: It was cold and wet, and the hotel had shut the central heat off May 1. We demanded a portable heater in our large corner room to make it bearable. Good location to utilize the Old Town of Pontevedra, and good spot to go on car trips to Santiago and Galicia's coast.

First time to stay at one of the Paradores and it did not disappoint. Our room was comfortable, the facilities historical, and the service commendable.

Read about the hotel and its glorious old days. I was very excited to stay there for one night during my Camino. The hotel is old and very much needs renovations. First, start with a good. The bed was very comfortable and the space is huge for the room. However, there was mold in the bathroom and shower area. Really grossed me out. The hotel just looks very rundown. The service it’s subpar. But you cannot beat the location.There is no complementary water in the room and they charge for everything. I felt the hotel tries to nickel and dime you.Christian who checked me in was very kind and professional. He made me feel welcome. The rest of staff looks very morose and unhappy. We had a storm brewing so that may be the reason? If they claim they are the top luxury hotel chain in Spain, they need to do way way much better.
