“Good location, bargain price”

I stayed for one week in June 2017 in a package trip. I read TripAdvisor reviews before travelling and I think that most of them are accurate. The Reception is tiny. It is weird that the "sitting room" (TV room with small sofas and chairs) is not near the Reception but you have to cross the dinning room to get there. I was surprised to see the key rings: enourmous wooden triangles! People staying in the other Noyesa hotel opposite had room cards. My room (108) had a big, very comfortable bed, a double closet with mirrors outside, a little desk and chair, a flat Samsung TV set and a large bathroom (also A/C but no remote, I did not ask for it as the weather was cold for the time of year). I was worried when I saw that it had 3 balconies overlooking the street. Yes, the room had views (see my photos) but I checked-in on a Sunday night and... it was so noisy! There were people shouting and cars driving past with music blaring all night. It was a little better on week days but it's a narrow street with heavy traffic and the noise echoes. Take ear plugs with you (if you forget, mercifully there are two chemists' nearby). I must say that both the room and the bathroom were extra clean. The bed was perfectly made, not a single crease in the bedclothes. I had read complaints here about the breakfasts and I must agree. You are not given a choice, you find a pice of hard cake (only one croissant in 6 days) on a plate, a little basket with toasts and no other food: no cereal, no fruit, no yoghourt... If you're used to buffet breakfasts you will be very disappointed. You can choose to have milk, tea or/and oranje juice (not freshly squeezed), and there are sachets with sugar, saccharine and cocoa. I asked for soya milk and they had it, but in my mug it looked sort of weird so I only had it once. I heard someone asking for lactose-free milk and I think they do have it. They have a note on the notice board saying to tell staff if you have any allergies/intolerance. The people in my group (all seniors) were raving about the lunches and dinners, they loved having fish and cockles every day. Unfortunately I do not eat seafish and do not like fish much, so I cannot review the food. The dinning room is very crammed and they are clearly understaffed, most of the waitresses were nice but they had clearly too many people to serve. The "maitre" or head of the waitresses (and jack-of-all-trades) is a very funny man named "Manolito". He did a great perfomance during our "queimada" evening (he was funny and super entertaining and his queimada was great). The hotel has free wifi but the cover is not too good. I had problems getting signal in my room and I was right above Reception, I suppose that people on higher floors had even bigger problems. I did not need parking but I think that other reviews here are correct: the hotel's is far and difficult to get to. There are lots of free parking spaces in the harbour area. The hotel is just 2-3 minutes from the harbour and Town Hall, just a wee walk down and very close to shops and supermarkets (Eroski, Froiz and Gadis).

We stayed here with friends overnight in September and found the hotel staff and proprietor extremely helpful and they made our stay very pleasant. Secure parking available. It is central to the small, interesting town of O Grove which boasts a very lively fishing industry and the production of 'mountains' of mussels plus oysters and scallops! The hotel has been refurbished to a high standard and the rooms are extremely comfortable with high quality bedding. Although we did not have the occasion to use the in-house restaurant, again this looked well managed and well used.

I stayed for a couple of nights in this hotel with my boyfriend in beginning of June. Hotel staff helpful and friendly. Rooms are very clean with new bathrooms. In general the facilities are new (or recently renovated). It is modern and provides the requisites for a nice, quiet stay in the center of O Grove. There's free secured parking available (5min walking from the hotel). Also internet is for free (WiFi in the rooms and a desktop in the lounge). Breakfast decent but very very basic. Great price quality 40eur/night/double.
