Hotel Castro

Final night before Santiago on the Camino Inglés

My wife and I stayed here for one night before an early morning flight back to the UK after a glorious week touring Galicia in a rental car. The hotel is not exactly in the most attractive area but the location was very convenient for us being less than 15 minutes drive from the airport and a similar distance to the heart of Santiago de Compostela, where we visited for a second time in the evening. It would be a good base if not wanting to stay in the hustle and bustle of the city with plenty of car parking. The hotel and our room was very clean and comfortable and we appreciated the fridge in the room. The staff were very friendly and helpful and all in all it was very good value. We did not use the cafeteria as we were only there for a short while and had to check out at 04:30 in the morning for an early flight home. The only problem we experienced was that my wife is disabled and confined to a wheelchair with only one leg. There is a tiled ramp to get access to the front upper steps but it was quite steep and it felt like it was initially built as a baggage ramp, although there is a good handrail if required. To get from the front upper steps into the hotel, a small metal ramp was provided with a handrail on one side, but again it was quite steep and on first entry my wife’s front wheels did lift up into the air causing some consternation. The staff were very helpful and were quick to offer their physical help for further entries & exits, which was appreciated.

This hotel was advertised on Hotels.com as being 0.8 km from Siguero, as I was on foot doing the Comino Inglés, which is why I booked it. It isn’t, it is almost 6 km from Siguero. Other than that, they have no restaurant (closed on weekends) no vending machines, no water, no coffee, etc. Furthermore the air conditioning is non existent, it will turn on but never cool the room, also I reason I booked this hotel.

It was hard to find the hotel. It is located off the road and the GPS was talking us around in circles.

Spacious room, q

It’s not in down town but very close. Aprox 12 min away.

It is very secluded, and private.

The hotel is a bit older but keep clean and spacious, staff are friendly and helpful, but not much choice for eating but a big fruit market just right in front of the hotel 👍. Price are reasonable too.

Wanted to say thank you for the receptionist that was working this morning 21/09/24 . She called me a taxi and after 30 minutes with it no one showing up after she called the taxi company said they didn’t know how long would takes. So she asked a friend to take me to The train station bc I was going to miss my train to Madrid. That was such a amazing thing to do… thank you so much

Very lonley surround

Arrived on a sunday for a 2 night stay no restaurant or food availability on Sunday restaurant was open Monday Only one persons on reception who had to manage the bar and reception and take food orders in the restaurant. He worked hard but Needless to say 15 minutes for a drink?? 3 coach full of people doing the pilgrims way. Food was available for them but not us had a 40 euro round trip to the town for food. In general a good hotel but dont araive on a sunday

Good hotel. Little bit out of town but taxi reasonable. Bus an option but a little in frequent. Staff great

After a lot of activity it was nice to be in a quiet location. Lack of public transport is a negative, but it fulfilled our needs.

We enjoyed the stay. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The hotel is about a 10 minute drive to the old city area.

Clean ,well mantein property. Very good for the price.

Nice hotel, the restaurante was closed. Nice staff and good condicions off the room.

Practical for our purpose, parking, close to center and very good staff.

Hotel Castro is a clean and spacious hotel with easy and plentiful parking. It is a straightforward drive into the city centre although if you are energetic it is possibly to walk on the final part of the Camino Inglese.

A little far from town. Nothing around but the reception was great. The room was comfortable. It was good to get free parking outside the room. Breakfast was not great so we decided skip it the following day. Overall, except for the distance from town (€12 in taxi) a pleasant stay.

Clean, modern hotel. The only downside is that a car is needed to travel to tourist sites.
