Hotel Monumento Pazo de Orbán

The property's advantages include exceptional service, modern amenities, and a prime location within historic city walls. Guests appreciated the spacious, well-equipped rooms and the varied, delicious breakfast.

We had two stays here in July, both for a number of days and all I can say is that we really loved it. It is situated within and close to the Roman wall. It is within easy walking distance of numerous bars and restaurants and some of the key tourist attractions e.g the cathedral and the Museo a Domus do Mitreo, both of which are well worth visiting. The hotel is also close to steps leading upto the top of the wall so, if you are up for it, you can enjoy the 3km walk around it. We had what we felt must be, the best room in the hotel with 2 balconies overlooking the wall, the modern city beyond and the countryside. The room basically had everything we needed apart from perhaps a second chair and a perhaps a box of tissues. The bed was comfortable and they kindly provided a kettle so we tea mad English could have a cup when ever we wanted one. As said it is a bit quirky with artifacts absolutely everywhere and some of them we felt would be worth quite a bit. There are even full sixed 'mannequins' in the outdoor seating area which is a great place to sit and have a drink and people watch! Breakfast is available every morning and dinner is from Wednesday to Sunday evenings. The breakfast is fine but there could be a little more variation while the evening dining experience which we did a few times was excellent. What was amazing was the staff. We could not praise them enough. Everyone did everything to make sure our stay was enjoyed. So, BIG THANKS to Maria and Manuel, their 'grown up' children, Maria, Manuel and Nikolas and not forgetting the cook Alejandro. We are likely to be in Lugo again sometime next year and there is only one place we will stay - HERE!

This is a lovely hotel, whose quirkiness is just the right side of kitsch. We had terrible trouble finding it, but it was certainly worth persevering. Thankfully we had reserved a parking space, because cars aren't allowed in the walled city otherwise. Lugo is a wonderful city, with complete Roman city walls. One can walk everywhere, and this hotel is the perfect base. We will return to Lugo, and to this hotel.
