A Marisma Hostal

Non ci siamo. Ostello sotto il ponte dell’autostrada e della ferrovia. Stanze senza aria condizionata e con un odore di piedi pazzesco. Per concludere la colazione se inclusa e’ servita nel bar all’interno del mercato del pesce. Iniziare così a giornata è veramente impegnativo. Più del Cammino.

What would be a mid-range hotel anywhere else qualifies as luxury lodging on the Camino. Our room here was small but clean and well-kept. Despite a busy highway located right outside, the soundproofing was good enough that we couldn't even hear the traffic inside our room. Other reviews reference no air conditioning, but we did have it, so maybe that has recently been updated. We were a little concerned about our room's location right next to the reception desk and a communal kitchen, but the other guests were quiet and respectful and we were able to get a solid night's sleep. As noted in other reviews, the desk isn't always staffed, but we were able to reach someone when assistance was needed, and they were quite friendly and helpful.

Ottimo hostal a Redondela, stavamo percorrendo il Cammino Portoghese verso Santiago e ci ha offerto tutto quello che ci serviva: stanze moderne, pulitissime e sufficientemente ampie, lavatrice/asciugatrice, spazio comune con frigorifero e microonde. La ragazza alla reception è stata gentilissima, simpatica e molto efficiente, per lei un complimento speciale.

As such a nice hostal with good facilities but its location right next to a busy road bridge AND a railway bridge simply makes it impossible to give it a good rating. Moreover, the walls are VERY thin, so we could clearly hear conversations in the neighboring rooms.

Clean rooms and modern furnishings, on the small side but more than good enough for those walking the Camino de Santiago. It's within walking distance of the Camino and the town center. There is a central area with microwave oven and fridge, as well as washing machines (they were broken during my visit). Note that the reception is located in the floor above street level and you need to call to get the code to open the door, so it's best to call in advance. Also, the reception is not staffed after a certain hour at night (there was still no one at 08:15 when I left in the morning), so call ahead and make arrangements if you are arriving late.
