We really liked this hotel. The staff was polite, friendly and helpful. They gave us a room with balcony facing the sea, which was great. The housekeeping was great. The location is convenient with many nearby restaurants and “Oyster Street”. We would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay there again if we return to Vigo. Five stars to the staff at reception, the breakfast room attendant and the housekeeping person!!

Excellent hotel, especially for the price. The hotel does not have a parking however there was one just across the street, very convenient, but very expensive. 30 euros overnight (!!)
