    It was a bit far away from a walkable road but for the rest it was great

    I was lucky so I had the room all to myself, breakfast was buffet (and very good quality), also it was very quiet at night!

    Washing facilities should not be a reason for you to stay here since there is only one very small slow machine.

    Very nice hostel, clean, rather modern, solid breakfast, and right on the Caminho.

    The kitchen had pots of old food sitting on a windowsill. The property also seems to act as a residence.

    The property is really nice. The check-in was easy. The room had a nice view of the mountains.

    Best hostel I have ever stayed in on the Camiño. It’s very clean with good breakfast, comfy beds, ample common areas, washing machine and dryer and cooking area. Reception was really friendly

    Location is slightly out of town. Between centre & train station. Will be great if breakfast could be earlier 7am instead of 8am especially for those walking the camino . Might consider having covered area for hand washed laundry.

    Well kept hostel. Everything was clean. Bonus was the heating in the room. Excellent breakfast Towels were provided.

    The fact that the room was very cold. We were having an exceptional cold wave and the heating system did not warm enough. It was explained that it was because the room was at the enf of the corridor. We were offered a small portable thermoventilator to compensate.

    Location, parking, decent breakfast, helpful receptionist

    No complaints!

    I felt warmly welcomed upon arrival by the staff - something I really appreciated on an otherwise terribly rainy day. It does get pretty cold in Cerveira during the winter months but the rooms are equipped with central heating and warm duvets.

    The kitchen (especially the fridge) could be bigger, given the number of guests who are using it. The doors of the rooms can be noisy sometimes.

    I have been to Cerveira several times and I really appreciated the location of the pousada (close to buses and trains), the team (always ready to help), and the atmosphere (mainly pilgrims). The space is very clean and well maintained. Plus, the pousada is constantly trying to improve its services. One example: they recently added fresh vegetables to the breakfast. I also recommend this place for solo travelers as it feels very safe.

    Kitchen is way too small. Couldn’t even get to the sink for a couple hours because people were blocking the path. Some spots on the sheets too.

    Exceptional breakfast, spacious rooms, and great location.

    The amount of vegan options is generally on the low side at every place I have been. While this place is no exception, to their credit, I could get soy milk upon request and could make do with the fruits, bread, cereal and jams available. Some hummus, plant based yogurt and roasted veggies would be a huge plus.

    This place was my favorite stay during the Camino. Not only it was comfortable, very clean and well located, steps from the center of Vila Nova de Cerveira, but the staff was very pleasant to talk to, and they also had included a very nice buffet breakfast with lots of options. Well done. The city is a little Portuguese gem, known as City of the Arts, with numerous art pieces throughout to be contemplated. The core center is very lively with plenty of restaurants and tables outside.

    The blind in our room was broken and didn't go up and the mattress protector was too plasticity for comfort

    We arrived before the official check-in time but our room was ready so we were allowed to check in. Modern building with great facilities and lovely views at the back. Good value for money.
