Pilgrim resting place

I enjoyed my stay in the hotel as they offered things such as a common room with a kitchen and laundry. The rooms are basic but one does not need much. Many pilgrims stay so the conversation is vibrant.

I got bed bugs. So…. Yeah. Check the mattresses for rust coloured stains. If those are present, do not sleep there. When I contacted them to let them know I had woken up with an excess of bites (they ate me like a snack) … the property said “oh no, not again!!” The property itself… charming. It lost its charm once I got bed bugs though. The property did not offer any apology or gesture to make things right. I hope they cleaned… I was in a private room on the 2nd floor.

Fiquei em um quarto de solteiro, com o banheiro compartilhado somente com uma pessoa. Não tive nenhum problema neste quesito. Boa cama, janela vom vista so jardim, café razoável, e pago à parte. Serviu bem para descansar para a caminhada do dia seguinte. Proprietário agendou o transporte até a travessia para a Espanha.

Hostal situado a 5' a pie de la Torre del Reloj en la villa de Caminha; segunda vez que nos alojamos aquí, esta vez habitación triple. Todo estaba muy limpio, y el trato ha sido cordial. El desayuno se puede contratar en el momento del check-in por 5€/persona y es suficientemente variado para empezar el día. Carece de ascensor y los colchones y almohadas son demasiado blandos. El cuarto de baño dispone de toallas, jabón, secador y estaba igualmente muy limpio.
