This place is truly impressive. It’s worth changing your travel plans just to be able to stay here. The 16-century convent is rich in character and colour, filled with authentic artefacts, yet so comfortable! Our room was a wonderful combination of vintage furniture and modern-day comfort. Very quiet. The bathroom was pristine, with new, modern fixtures. The lobby, common areas and cloister are beautiful. The friendly staff welcome you with a glass of port wine and cookies. Location is perfect too. Great value for money. We absolutely loved it!

Gorgeous location, spotless apartment efficiently organized, quiet, secure building. Right on the waterfront malecón, which is lovely, with many people and their furry friends out strolling. Host was awesome, so welcoming and easy to communicate with.

Nice old world type of resort very Spanish and authentic Spanish fishing village / small town with a nice harbour and old town area. On the Camino trail so lots of walking routes plus Mt Tecla to view the area from the top.

An unexpectedly attractive town with beautiful harbour and nearby mountain. Lanes often steep and narrow so car driving tricky but possible. Plenty of restaurants and a bakery offering very good breakfasts. A walk up to the castle above the town was enjoyable.

A little disappointed by the recommended Porto Guardes café...
A little disappointed by the recommended Porto Guardes café on the harbour because they didn't serve food till 7.15 pm & the salad was mainly out of a jar, i.e. white asparagus, sweet red peppers, an onion garnish on the boiled potatoes. Would have been better to have a fresh salad. However, the pimientos Padron & the Galician octopus were excellent.
The two mile walk from my hostel to the harbour was wonderful & quiet.
My stay at the apartment couldn’t have been more pleasant. The photos don’t do this magical place justice. There is a lot of space and everything was in perfect condition. The owners were generous and helpful throughout and we are already planning on staying there again!
Some advice if you are looking to stay there, the address doesn't work properly on Google maps and Uber doesn't function in the area so go to the Taxi stop outside Froiz supermarket in A Guarda and ask a taxi driver to take you to the address.
The owner was incredible to attend to us and make our check in smooth and easy. The room was perfect for our stay during the Camino. The next day, breakfast was great and check out was very easy. They allowed our bag-transfer company to drop off and pick up with ease. We would stay here again if we visit A Guarda again.
P.S. when we arrived the front desk was closed. If this happens to you fear not! Just message the property and the owner will arrive very quickly!
Location was incredible - totally worth the 30 minute walk from the port to get there!
Rooms are not super upgraded but that adds to the charm.
Hotel staff was amazing and so super helpful! 5 stars for the over the top effort of both of the people working the front desk during my stay.
The whole place is reminiscent of family resorts from the 50s with a luxury dining area, lovely patio restaurant, and nice rooms with comfy beds, all right on the beach.
The hotel was so clean and beautifully maintained which, after a long Camino walk was very welcomed
As we were starting to walk early the next morning we could not stay for breakfast. Instead we were provided with a wonderful breakfast picnic which we thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated.
Breakfast was great. Served a bit of cake that was homemade, and drank cafe at the bar of the hotel. Everyone working there was super friendly. Love the location by the square, close to everything. Bathroom and beds were clean and comfortable.
Set atop a hill overlooking the mińo estuary and the port of A Guarda, this is a place well worth staying in.
It’s so close to the Castro and when the hordes have departed the hilltop it feels like you have the place to yourself.
It was unique hotel, relaxing sitting areas, comfortable accommodations, super beds, excellent showers, free port and cake, and fantastic food. Staff was accommodating and helpful. They even provided options for food allergies.

We loved how historical the Hotel looked. It's got a very unique design that fits the feeling of the city. The hotel is right in the city center and seconds from the water. We have no complaints whatsoever.
Well located nice hotel. It is obvious they are trying hard to give guests a pleasant experience and it shows. The room was big and very comfortable. Very nice breakfast included in the price we paid.
The staff was very nice and helpful. Clean. For a simple, basic hotel though, it was very overpriced. It was one of the very few available in town at that time.
