Pensión O Xardin de Julia

The booking in process was a bit elongated, you had to go somewhere to book in and then walk to the hotel to get in. It wasn’t smooth and needs looking at, the last thing you need after walking all day is to be sat outside somewhere waiting

Although the hotel was excellent and exceeded our expectations, if we had to be picky, there was just one small issue: the front door at O Xardín de Julia was a bit tricky to open. Since there’s no reception on-site, check-in takes place at Altamira, and guests are supposed to use their key card to open the front door by tapping it on the doorbell system, or at least, that is what I understood. It is possible that we misunderstood the instruction, if that is the case, ignore this. But anyway, in our case, the key card never worked, and we had to ring the bell and ask the Altamira staff to buzz us in every time we returned. Also, the front door is quite heavy — and if your room is directly above or near it, you might hear it opening and closing throughout the evening. We had two rooms: mine was on the second floor above the door, and I didn’t hear anything, but my friend’s room was on the first floor facing the opposite side, and she was slightly bothered by the noise. It really depends on your sensitivity and room location. This isn’t a complaint — just something we experienced, and it didn’t affect our overall enjoyment.

No restaurant or bar or staff whatsoever, no facilities to buy anything, equipment in reception area has long stopped being in use. No mention of a late night bar just below which made noises and loud music into the early hours of the morning. I would advise to Find somewhere else

The bathroom was kinda small and you had to go get the key somewhere else which took a longer time that you would think.
