Guest Reviews
O Cruceiro hotel offers a mixed but largely practical location for those continuing their journey on the Camino de Santiago, particularly on the English Way. Although it is situated about 2 km uphill from Pontedeume, this bit of a climb can be a challenging end to a long day of walking. The location tends to be off the beaten path and somewhat isolated, requiring a car for more convenient access to amenities and attractions, as there isn’t much to see in the immediate industrial area surrounding the hotel.
For pilgrims looking for a place to rest before continuing their journey, O Cruceiro provides a clean and affordable stop with a large bathroom and good service. It's particularly noted for being strategically placed for starting fresh the next day on the trail, even though it does require an extra bit of walking off the main route.
In summary, while the location may be far and involve a bit of an uphill stretch, O Cruceiro is praised for its good value and practicality for Camino travelers making their way toward Santiago de Compostela.
