Hotel Alda Estación Pontevedra

Galicia in autumn can be very rainy, so I prioritized proximity to the train station. But the town is small and entirely walkable. Strolling to the old town takes ten minutes. I booked directly from the hotel-chain's website, paid €41 per night and got almost everything one could wish for: a comfy bed large enough for a family of three, impeccable wifi, large bathroom, bathtub with a shower During hotter months, a fridge in the room could have been a good idea. But in October, this doesn't matter.

Now this is what you call a good hotel for only 45 a night. Clean room, clean bath, heated all round. Comfortable bed, lily-white almost stiffly-starched linen. Good comfy towels. Friendly receptionist, I just wish I could stay another night but I am doing the El Camino. Sadly I can't stay. For this price and for what you get, it's a no-brainer.

A basic hotel, clean and comfortable close to the railway station and 10 minutes walk to the old town. Front desk Lorena speaks good English and is very customer oriented. Breakfast satisfactory plus.

We booked this hotel because Pontevedra does not have many hotels around the area. Their Reception is online anyways it works, their room need a touch of colour and the bathroom a renovation. During our stay there was a lot of noise from the room next door anyways that might have been only our experience. It's in a good location with Street Parking and next to the Train Station. I would recommend it for one night, if you need it for longer stay I would go to other hotel or Vigo.

Good location by train station and 20 minute walk into historical town. Clean basic room, didn't have breakfast. Friendly reception. You can hear people talking in next door room, but not a problem for us.

This hotel was booked for us by our Camino company, and it is the only one that did not meet my expectations. Nobody was at the reception desk when we arrived, and we had to check in via video. It was difficult to check in over video, even though my companion speaks Spanish. If we had not been able to communicate in Spanish, I think it would have been impossible to check into this hotel, without the cues of body language. The room was larger than many of the rooms we encountered, but that was the only thing it had going for it. The walls were thin and other guests were pretty noisy. It is on a busy street and we heard street noise all night long. There was a big cobweb in the corner. There was no blow dryer. There was no air conditioning—there was a fan that you could plug into the wall to get some air circulating, but there wasn’t a great place to put it. For the main room there was only one overhead light—no table lights or side lights, so even though we had two beds, if one of us wanted to go to sleep before the other, it was keep the light on, or both go to sleep at the same time. There was nothing on the walls except scuff marks and spills. It felt like this was basically a hostel with private rooms and baths.
