Hygiene: The sanitary conditions are satisfactory.
Environment: It is near the pier, and there are large shopping malls and many restaurants nearby, which is quite convenient.

Very poor value for money. Small room. Half of the window is over the patio. Expensive. No parking lot.

When I'm on a business trip, I still prefer to choose a star hotel, just for safety reasons. The hotel is clean, well located, and very close to the beach. If I have the opportunity to go to Vigo again, I will stay there again.

The hotel is set in a beautiful building and enjoys a fantastic location — just a short walk to the city centre and the boats, which was especially convenient for our island-hopping plans.
That said, I would strongly recommend requesting an exterior room. Ours was an interior room, and it felt very dark and confined, with a tiny window facing a shadowy inner courtyard. The room itself was also quite small, which added to the feeling of claustrophobia.
