Hotel Rosalía

We visited Padron while on Camino Portuguese for one night as we approached Santiago de Compostela. The hotel is on the edge of town and further along the Camino than most hotels catering to pilgrims. Checkin was easy, our bags waiting for us, and our room adequate and spacious. We appreciated the fan in the room as there appeared to be no hvac controls. The room we had offered large windows giving us good light. The hotel sits directly on the train line but train service didn’t seem to conflict with our stay. The hotel does have a small dining room and bar. Our plan did not include a dinner package but we were still able to get a table. The front desk manager seemed put off when we asked for a table. Walking back to town to find dinner was not something we wanted to do and we were able to get a table after some convincing. Food was good. In the morning, breakfast was served next door in a larger dining space and the meals are preset, making breakfast very efficient. Getting back to the Camino was not a problem as the road on the other side of the train tracks intersects with the Camino about just to the North. In all, the hotel is good other than being on the far side of town making the last stretch and the daily segment longer than expected.

This hotel was nice. Just a 1km walk outside of Padron. Like a lot of hotels on the camino the kitchen closes between 3.30pm and 7.45pm which is disappointing after a long walk. The room was spacious and our bathroom was very spacious. No noise at all at night even though we were looking out onto the railway track. Breakfast was ok but no gf options for my husband which is the norm in most places.

Our one night stay here was booked via Santiago Ways as part of our Camino travel. The hotel is not on the Camino trail, difficult to find, and is a fairly long walk back into central Padron. Our room was large but not the cleanest, and the shower head in the bathtub is situated in such a way to leak water onto the floor at both ends of the tub. The room is not air conditioned which might be a problem during the summer. Thankfully the trains do not appear to run during the night, so you can open the window for fresh air. The hotel desk, bar, and restaurant areas are remodeled and welcoming. Our breakfast and dinner meals provided at the attached restaurant were good.
