Ourense Homestays

The power inside is really dripping, and the converter is charging and scaring me! ! ! Then power off! ! ! The rest is OK

Barcelo Ourense is a lovely property with spacious rooms and centrally located. Their staff was especially helpful with questions and assistance both prior to our stay and during. I needed to arrange transportation to Miguel Gonzalez and Melissa was prompt and got me what my group needed. Do make reservations at MG and Nova. Both wonderful restaurants.

Stayed for several nights recently and found the room to be comfortable, clean and reasonably quiet. My room was on the second floor at the front of the hotel. There was little in the way of disturbance from people outside at night but there was some from street cleaning about 2AM on a few nights. The room was a stereotypical Spanish hotel with dated brown furniture. Plenty of cupboard space but to use the top shelves you would have to be over 7 feet tall. The bed was comfortable enough but they do only provide the bolster type pillows which for me are too soft. The bathroom was bright enough but the bath was a little odd as it didn't have any taps only a powerful shower. Basic toiletries were provided. The bar is closed and there is no restaurant - not what you want when you've just spent 15 hours travelling. There are plenty of bars and cafes nearby though. So rather than operating as a hotel it's a glorified BnB. Which leads me on to breakfast. The basic breakfast is simply a couple of rolls with ham and cheese filling along with a croissant and a pain au chocolat. This is all pre wrapped in clingfilm. There is fresh fruit provided and they are happy to add to that with chopped banana and kiwi fruits. There was an option for tostadas but I didn't get offered this. Would be much improved by offering a breakfast buffet. Wifi worked well in my room and was good enough for work and watching some TV. The TV itself has limited channels and none that I noticed were in English. The biggest bugbear at this hotel is parking. As is common in Spain this hotel has an underground car park. It's on 3 levels. The first level is easy but only has a couple of spaces for the hotel. The second level is OK but the third level is really tight to get into and I put two nasty scrapes on my car trying to get down to this level. DONT TAKE A BIG CAR TO THIS HOTEL. Overall it's all right but don't say you weren't warned.

The service from the lady at the front desk is very considerate. The room we stayed in for 2 people gave us a small room as a gift. The hotel is an ancient building, but it is beside the road, but the sound insulation is very good. The breakfast is also very cost-effective. The town is quiet and relaxing

The hotel was perfect for us as we were travelling around Northern Spain in our campervan and parking in Ourense isn't easy to find in the city and several hotels the parking was not on site and reviews said parking was tight for a car so we would have struggled with our van. The Exe parking was great with plenty of space, there was a lovely outdoor pool area (although we didn't use it as only there for 24 hours). It was easy to get into town from a bus stop a 3 minute walk away opposite the Meson bar/cafe at the junction on the road to the hotel and was 85c each adult each way. The hotel itself is a little dated and basic, not the 5* it says it is but was clean and the beds were comfy and the room had a tv and fridge plus a hairdryer and shower gel, shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom. The staff were welcoming on arrival. Do not be put off by the location as the bus was easy and cheap and the hotel is not fancy in any way but if you are there to sightsee in Ourense and the room is for showering and sleeping in don't hesitate to book.

Spent several days in Ourense at the Princess. The staff were helpful and our room was very nice. The hotel is a little bit older but still the furniture, bed, and bath were all just fine. Breakfast was fine, and there were fresh fruit available each day (although hours for breakfast were limited). Located conveniently downtown.
