Hotel Valcarce Camino de Santiago

Clean and comfortable rooms

Convenient stop over while walking on the Camino ample food and facilities available. Staff were helpful.

I stayed at this hotel while walking the Camino de Santiago, and it offers many comforts that are very welcome after a long day. The location is ideal – right on the Camino. The rooms are spacious, very clean, and equipped with comfortable beds, air conditioning, and even an elevator, which is great for tired pilgrims. It’s generally quiet inside, and having a restaurant directly in the hotel is a convenient bonus. However, there were several downsides. Although the room had windows, I couldn’t open them because people were smoking directly below, and the smell would drift in. The hotel is also located right next to a gas station where trucks, buses, and campers regularly stop for the restaurant – so if the windows are open, it can get quite noisy. The reception was not staffed at all times, and I had to wait quite a while to check in. When the receptionist did arrive, she was not particularly friendly or welcoming. Additionally, I was unable to receive an invoice at check-out because the printer was broken – and even after asking, I was told it couldn’t be provided. Overall, the hotel has strong points in terms of comfort and amenities, but the service experience and external noise issues left a mixed impression.

Facilities.

This hotel is a wonderful value: clean, quiet, nice bed, and spacious room. We slept well after a long walk. The restaurant serves delicious food at convenient times. Easy check in. Excellent customer service. I highly recommend this hotel.
