Rias Bajas

The location of the hotel is at the edge of the walking-only old historic city, and the hotel has its own underground garage just across the street, which was great. It is right on the Camino de Santiago walking path, so convenient to stay if you are doing that. They served breakfast (including eggs) starting at 7:30 am, and they served dinner also starting at 7:30 pm, which was before most nearby restaurants. Very close to Pontevedra Cathedral, and other old sites. We ordered a superior room, which was adequate but not great for $200/night.

The reception desk was not particularly friendly or helpful with recommendations for restaurants, etc. and the cost of the superior room seemed to be high relative to quality and services. They studiously ignored our difficulties in moving baggage up from their lobby using their wheelchair/luggage elevator device. I felt for $200 a night we should have enjoyed better service.

Great great shower pressure. Nice pillow. Stuff that matters! In a more modern part of the town. Bed was confortable too. Breakfast buffet was good too, althought I am mostly coffee/fruits, so I never make the most of it.

It looks a bit like an old hotel without the charm of it. Also believe that each hotel room when you paid above $150CAD (so above 90 euro) should have at least stuff to make coffee/tea in the room. Nothing like taking the 1st coffee in pj! The rest was great, sincerely.

We had room 907 at the top with seaview and deck and it was amazing. We can only speak for this room and it was very large, the sliding doors opened up the whole side of the room to the deck which looked over the city and sea. Modern and nice bathroom and large comfortable bed.

Breakfast, things ran out and were not replaced. Breakfast staff not the friendliest. Heavy metal chairs were not the most friendly to feet, so be careful with stubbing toes. AC did not work the best with a musty smell when it was blowing, but it was the cool season with a warm trend so I think they will address that issue when summer comes. We had them turn off the heat to turn on the AC

Perfect location for the Camino. Very near to lots of cafes, bars, and restaurants and shops. Loved the A/C and balcony room. Very spacious and well decorated room. Breakfast seemed a little chaotic, a lot of people in a small area but food choices were very good. Everything was fresh!

Minor detail but wish breakfast had started earlier. Maybe if it had started earlier, it wouldn't have felt so crowded in the dining area.

This was our rest day on the Camino. I am so glad because this town was great and this hotel is perfectly located to see everything. Breakfast was really good. The check-in staff were kind and they were well prepared for luggage forwarding as some of us do on the Camino. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean and there was a/c to cool down the room. I would recommend this hotel.

I was staying at another place in Pontevedra (which shall remain nameless) on my Camino Portuguese, and when I got a bit of food poisoning I knew I needed to stay at least one more night in town, and also find a different hotel. Carla at Hotel Rias Bajas reception was an absolute hero, checking me in early, arranging for me to stay in the same room an extra night when I wasn't fully recovered, and just making me feel like someone was looking after me. For this hotel at this time, that was the most important thing and she exceeded expectations :)

The hotel was in a great location for exploring the historic part of the city, yet was also nicely situated near the more modern area. It was a nice place to stay during our rest day while walking the Camino. The room was very comfortable overall.

My room was located on the first floor overlooking the street, which was a bit noisy but overall didn't impact my sleep. I would recommend requesting a room on a higher floor.

There is a cafeteria in this hotel, which was very convenient. It's open pretty late in the evening, I think until 11:30 pm, which was a relief after a long drive from Valladolid. In the USA, "cafeteria" has maybe a mediocre connotation. The food in this hotel is very good (we enjoyed classic tapas) and there is a full bar. Breakfast was terrific, with something to suit everyone. A shout out to the young women who served us each time--she was ever cheerful, polite and prompt. Our room had very traditional furnishings (not modern), and had a great shower and plenty of air conditioning. Our room wasn't overly big which was fine. Pontevedra is such a beautiful city, you won't want to spend too much time in your room. This hotel is in a perfect location for enjoying the best parts of the city, which is a stunning blend of the very old and the very new.

I have nothing negative to report about this hotel. We were perfectly satisfied.

This hotel is right in the centre of Pontevedra and is very welcoming. We were offered - for a small additional fee - a suite that we really enjoyed, especially the first night when we were too exhausted to go out for dinner and we took some takeaway food to our living room. Breakfast was generous, served fast and offered various options.

I really cannot think of anything which I did not like. I would recommend the place to anyone who goes to Pontevedra and would certainly go back there very happily! The combination of modern comfort and closeness to the old city make it really worthwhile.

Proximity to old town and main sights.

I didn't like the fact that although the booking was made in my name (female) the room was allotted to my partner (male). Perhaps I am being too sensitive about the issue but it is a principle thing for me. Besides that, nothing worth commenting about.
