Pilgrim resting place

I enjoyed my stay in the hotel as they offered things such as a common room with a kitchen and laundry. The rooms are basic but one does not need much. Many pilgrims stay so the conversation is vibrant.

Staff went out of their way to make sure we made it safely to the place after an extra long day of walking El Camino. The fascilities were very clean. It was a good place to walk to dinner in a friendly neighbourhood.

Excellent buffet breakfast and clean and spacious room. However step up to washroom was very dangerous and I tripped and fell during the night - needs to be made into a slope - also shower like an ice rink so had to use bath mat in order not to fall!

I got bed bugs. So…. Yeah. Check the mattresses for rust coloured stains. If those are present, do not sleep there. When I contacted them to let them know I had woken up with an excess of bites (they ate me like a snack) … the property said “oh no, not again!!” The property itself… charming. It lost its charm once I got bed bugs though. The property did not offer any apology or gesture to make things right. I hope they cleaned… I was in a private room on the 2nd floor.

Bom lugar

Fiquei em um quarto de solteiro, com o banheiro compartilhado somente com uma pessoa. Não tive nenhum problema neste quesito. Boa cama, janela vom vista so jardim, café razoável, e pago à parte. Serviu bem para descansar para a caminhada do dia seguinte. Proprietário agendou o transporte até a travessia para a Espanha.

Hostal situado a 5' a pie de la Torre del Reloj en la villa de Caminha; segunda vez que nos alojamos aquí, esta vez habitación triple. Todo estaba muy limpio, y el trato ha sido cordial. El desayuno se puede contratar en el momento del check-in por 5€/persona y es suficientemente variado para empezar el día. Carece de ascensor y los colchones y almohadas son demasiado blandos. El cuarto de baño dispone de toallas, jabón, secador y estaba igualmente muy limpio.
