Parador de Pontevedra

Good Parador with usual amenities, bar was not the best but overall was a nice hotel

I would love to be writing a positive review as on first impression, the palador was fantastic. The decoration, the history, the room, the bed sheets, the bed, everything was fantastic. I was even looking forward to future visits to other Paladors's. However, when my wife and I went to bed, we noticed a noise. There was a bang and a continuous noise that lasted for about 20 seconds and another bang to end 20 second break then it went again. It sounded a lot to me like a water pump turning on and off. For about 2 hours, from 01:00 to 03:00 we tried to tolerate it and go asleep but at 3 we rang downstairs. We didn't get any real solution and we ended up staying in the same room. Apparently the hotel was full and so we had a terrible sleep. We didn't get much sympathy at reception either when we were checking out, which was a little bit disappointing. Our night away was ruined by a bad sleep and next day ruined by tiredness. The room below us complained too and we got the impression that this was not the first time such a complaint was made…. Come on Parador accept responsibility and fix the issue, don't let any more guests suffer.

A lovely and dignified parador with significant architectural interest. I was sorry that we could only stay one night. Our room was very comfortable and clean. I would absolutely return to this parador.

Wonderful history, great location and the Paradores are always a tempting option to me for those reasons. I think the hotel was really good but could definitely use modernisation in the room as my room has a dusty or damp smell to it which was not quite to remove. The wooden floor was in a slightly sad state of repair and needed sanding and varnishing.

Stay in a castle in Pontevedra! The little town is magical and the people working the front desk and friendly and helpful!

The property is impressive, beautiful. The services, deplorable. The front desk person was unfriendly and not willing to help us. There is no parking in the hotel and no valet to help with the car or the luggage. We do not walk well (seniors) and the man would accept that we could not park the car half a mile away. However, I tried but just could not walk back and brought the car back. There were a couple of handicap spaces in the courtyard of the hotel but he refused to open the door. We had no choice but to leave the car outside of the gate in a no parking zone, hoping that the area was remote enough for the police to not come by. I also ask for rooms close to the elevator and ended up with the very last room at the end of a long corridor. No restaurant in the hotel. Just a small bar with a couple of sandwiches and fried eggs on a menu of just a few inappropriate items. I strongly recommend people do not book in that hotel.

Comfortable. Great bar. No nearby restaurants.

I stayed here for a couple of days rest whilst walking the Camino Portuguese costal route Excellent traditional building, very comfortable, excellent food and service. Parador de Pontevedra provides great selection of regional food and wine in their restaurants.

A very special historical building in a really neat old medieval city like Pontevedra. Nothing fancy inside the rooms (but they are very comfortable). But supporting an investment in keeping up old historical buildings like this is a great way to spend one night on the Camino (and there aren't many places like this as stops). the breakfast was really nice also, and the location can't be beat (steps away from the Camino). Highly recommend
