A pleasant experience
I stayed at this hotel on one of my visits to Vigo, in July 2007. It is a 3 star, and part of the Sercotel chain, ideally located in the financial and commercial heart of the city, next to the Corte Ingles department store. It is a multi-story building accessed up a few stair, as the street on which it stands slopes steeply. In the area it's virtually impossible to find parking, but the hotel has underground parking (7.50 € per day) where you can park as long as your car is not too large, because the access ramp is very narrow. Be aware that maneuvering in and out can be a bit difficult.
The reception area is quite spacious, with a desk, a lobby area with sofas (where tourist brochures are on offer), and access to the cafe and restaurant, which is open to the general public. Unfortunately, the staff we encountered weren't very friendly, and when we arrived, we had to wait quite a while for them to organise our check-in. The room was quite nice, spacious with two king size beds, a closet with two shelves, satellite tv, luggage racks, and a desk with a book about tourism in Galicia. The furniture was dark wood contrasting with the curtains and duvets in garnet tones. There were radiators for heating, and air conditioning, but there was no thermostat, and we assumed it was controlled centrally.
The room overlooked a courtyard, so we had a horrible view (the street isn't particularly special, either), but in return, we didn't hear any noise from the street. There are shutters so we slept like babies! The bathroom was also quite spacious and well-lit, acrylic with a large bath, wc and wash basin set into a marble plateau. The hot water came out perfectly and with a lot of pressure. We also had a hairdryer and a complete set of toiletries - toothpaste, shaving cream, shower cap, sewing kit, kleenex, soap and gel packets. We found only one problem - a broken plug socket. I noticed that each room has a separate electrical box behind the door.
The breakfast buffet was included in the price of the room, and was pretty good and varied, consisting of scrambled eggs, bacon, cold cuts, cheeses, toast, croissant, yogurt, juice and fruit pieces. The coffee was served by the waiter, but he left table a jug on the table to help yourself as you wanted. The breakfast room was in the cafe, but in a separate area reserved for hotel guests. Overall, I quite liked this hotel. It is conveniently located in the city centre, from where you can walk anywhere, and the quality : price ratio was good (we paid € 65 plus VAT for a double room with breakfast included).
