Guest Reviews
Location
Breakfast
When available, the breakfast quality has mixed reviews. Some guests found the breakfast options convenient and satisfactory, allowing for an easy start to their day on the Camino. However, others mentioned limited choices and poor quality, such as hard, non-toasted bread and overall disappointing offerings that did not justify the additional cost.
In terms of service, check-in is conveniently at the bar connected to the property, where one can also have breakfast, but the management and overall experience have received criticisms for organization issues. Overall, while there is potential for a decent breakfast experience, the hotel would benefit from more consistent service and higher quality offerings to meet its guests' expectations.
Dinner
The restaurant, when it is open, stands out for its delicious food and good value for money. The pilgrimage menu is notably affordable at 15 euros, featuring quality dishes that guests have found to be quite enjoyable. The overall price for both the room and the meals is considered to be reasonably low, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious travelers.
However, potential diners should be aware that the restaurant service tends to close early and there are no dinner options nearby in Portomarine. This might necessitate planning if one intends to eat later in the evening. Despite these limitations, when available, the offerings at the restaurant have received positive feedback for their value and taste.
Rooms
The views from the windows add a pleasant touch with some rooms offering outlooks over the city center, contributing to a scenic stay. The pension's close proximity to the center and friendly staff are additional merits that make it a suitable option for pilgrims and travelers alike.
However, the size of the rooms is a consistent point of criticism. Many reviews mention that the rooms are very small with limited space causing discomfort for some guests. This is particularly noted in twin rooms, which were sometimes described as the smallest experienced by guests. Additionally, a few rooms had issues such as a strong smell of cigarette smoke or were not well-ventilated, which detracted from the overall comfort.
Overall, Pensión Portomiño offers a good resting spot with clean, comfortable facilities, especially suitable for short stays or pilgrims passing through, albeit with the caveat of potentially cramped quarters.
Beds
However, some guests do point out areas for improvement. Issues such as beds being small, squeaky or too soft are mentioned with occasional comments on the need for mattress updates or additional bedding options like blankets. Despite these concerns, the predominant sentiment focuses on comfort with many guests expressing satisfaction with the overall sleeping arrangements at the pension.
Cleanliness
Staff
The management team is also frequently commended for their professional and welcoming attitudes. Both the owners and other staff members receive high marks for their kindness, making guests feel welcomed and well-cared for throughout their stay. The cleaning staff is particularly noted for their attention to detail, ensuring that the guesthouse maintains high standards of cleanliness.
