Guest Reviews
San Luis Hotel offers a mix of convenience and tranquility, making it a suitable choice depending on travelers' preferences and activities. Positioned right by a busy highway, the hotel benefits from excellent connectivity, being just 10 minutes from downtown Pontevedra and nearby the airport. The soundproofing helps to mitigate the highway noise, offering a relatively peaceful stay despite its roadside placement.
For those trekking the Camino de Santiago, it's a mixed bag. While some praise its proximity to the trail, noting it as a great overnight stop just about 1.5 km off the main path, others find it somewhat distant, requiring an extra kilometer or two of walking. This paradox is evident as some consider it an exceptional location for Camino hikers, while others didn't find it ideal in this regard.
The hotel's central position makes it convenient for exploring the wider Rías Baixas area, the Morrazo peninsula and nearby cities such as Pontevedra and Redondela. Guests have expressed satisfaction with the water views and the scenic beauty visible from the rooftop terrace, describing the location as beautiful and calm with amazing estuary views.
However, it sits next to a gas station and is somewhat removed from commerce, potentially requiring a bit of a detour for those who need to stock up on supplies. Still, the overall feedback suggests that, for the right visitor, the combination of well-connected roads, scenic vistas and a relatively peaceful environment strikes a good balance.
San Luis offers a breakfast experience that receives high marks from many guests. Numerous reviews highlight the breakfast as varied, well-served and continually replenished, which contributes to its positive reception. Guests praise the buffet-style setup for its diversity, mentioning a wide range of options including pastries, cold cuts, breads, cereals, yogurts, coffee and juice. The homemade elements, such as potato omelet and cakes, stand out as particularly delightful.
Despite a few mentions of limited fruit options and the absence of scrambled eggs, the overall sentiment remains positive with many guests noting the breakfast as complete and satisfying. Some reviews even describe it as the best part of their stay, emphasizing the quality and amount of food provided, especially considering the hotel’s two-star rating.
However, not all feedback is glowing. A minority of guests found the breakfast to be ordinary or subpar, citing issues like limited options and low-quality products. Yet, the friendly service and the overall variety seem to outweigh these criticisms for most visitors.
In summary, San Luis excels in providing a hearty and diverse breakfast that leaves many guests impressed, making it a noteworthy aspect of their stay.
