The hotel is set in a beautiful building and enjoys a fantastic location — just a short walk to the city centre and the boats, which was especially convenient for our island-hopping plans. That said, I would strongly recommend requesting an exterior room. Ours was an interior room, and it felt very dark and confined, with a tiny window facing a shadowy inner courtyard. The room itself was also quite small, which added to the feeling of claustrophobia.

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.
