A hotel that could be excellent with just a few extra touches. It’s quite noisy outside from the street and bars. The rooms have double glazing but we could still here voices and general noise. The room generally was quite small although very clean. The lack of tea and coffee making facilites seems like a basic oversight for a hotel like this. It really wouldn’t cost much to add this and it makes a difference to your stay. Breakfast was good and varied each morning. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. They were happy to speak Portuguese or English if needed. Parking is an issue. The hotel only has 4 spots outside and finding a parking space in the town is tricky. We parked up near the castle but it’s a walk to get to the hotel. Driving around the narrow streets of the old town looking for a parking spot can be…. Interesting.

Congratulations! Excellent welcome to our group of 12 pilgrims. We were well treated, welcomed, excellent care. A extraordinary breakfast! Thank you very much to Ms Marta, Valeria and Paula (the wonderful breakfast girl).

Cheap breakfast. Location next to the highway. Convenient for self-driving tours. Will stay here next time

This is a glorious old hotel with delightful gardens that separate the original building from the outdoor bar, indoor pool and a modern extension. We booked a superior room in the new section, with a TV alcove and a patio overlooking the garden. The bird calls were so loud and persistent that I first thought they were taped. We liked the decor, the multiple electric sockets, and the comfortable king-sized bed. Foreign TV channels proved watchable but grainy. We missed having a coffee maker in the room but were grateful for the new bottle of water that arrived each day. More generally, the striking art work throughout the hotel is decidedly modern. Breakfasts are adequate and delicious but limited. For example I would have liked to see muesli among the popular cereals available. A flight of stairs links the spacious underground parking garage to the rooms above; there is no elevator. Visitors will find it easier to unload their luggage before driving down to the garage. Guides to the hotel facilities and restaurant are accessed via a qr code reader on their phones. On the nit-picking front, it’s impossible to close the spring-loaded bedroom doors quietly from the outside and a couple more towel hooks in the bathroom would have been welcome; also, you have to get out of bed to turn off the bedside lights. Having said that, I heartily recommend the hotel. Best check beforehand that your visit doesn’t coincide with any of the equestrian events for which Golega is well known.
