Pilgrim resting place

I enjoyed my stay in the hotel as they offered things such as a common room with a kitchen and laundry. The rooms are basic but one does not need much. Many pilgrims stay so the conversation is vibrant.

Excellent buffet breakfast and clean and spacious room. However step up to washroom was very dangerous and I tripped and fell during the night - needs to be made into a slope - also shower like an ice rink so had to use bath mat in order not to fall!

I got bed bugs. So…. Yeah. Check the mattresses for rust coloured stains. If those are present, do not sleep there. When I contacted them to let them know I had woken up with an excess of bites (they ate me like a snack) … the property said “oh no, not again!!” The property itself… charming. It lost its charm once I got bed bugs though. The property did not offer any apology or gesture to make things right. I hope they cleaned… I was in a private room on the 2nd floor.

Wir hatten ein Doppelzimmer und insgesamt einen angenehmen Aufenthalt. Leider gab es jedoch zwei Punkte, die unseren Eindruck deutlich getrübt haben.

Der Schallschutz war sehr schlecht. Man konnte nahezu jedes Geräusch aus den Nachbarzimmern sowie aus dem Gemeinschaftsbereich unter uns hören. Dadurch war insbesondere die Nachtruhe beeinträchtigt.

Außerdem ließ sich die Balkontür am Morgen unserer Abreise nicht mehr öffnen. Da sich unsere Wäsche noch auf dem Balkon befand, mussten wir zunächst auf Hilfe warten. Dadurch hat sich unsere Abreise unnötig verzögert.

Ich hoffe, dass der Defekt an der Balkontür zeitnah behoben wird.

Bom lugar

Fiquei em um quarto de solteiro, com o banheiro compartilhado somente com uma pessoa. Não tive nenhum problema neste quesito. Boa cama, janela vom vista so jardim, café razoável, e pago à parte. Serviu bem para descansar para a caminhada do dia seguinte. Proprietário agendou o transporte até a travessia para a Espanha.
