Very far from Vigo, it doesn't compensate

Very uncomfortable mattresses. There is only one lift and you can't go up to all the rooms so you have to carry your suitcase up a few steps. The size is a small double room. You have to sentence a closet to fit two beds. There is no breakfast or food. Regular cleaning. The wood of doors, cabinets... everything is convex. There is a shelf on the bed, at the height of the head, that if you don’t notice, you will nail the corner. No water in vending machines in the heat

The beds were single beds, which we labeled as doubles. They then charged us a €4 surcharge which we didn't see on the booking for not being a student or hostel. And finally, the location. You rate the hotel at the central price where Jesus Christ lost his shoe...

When I got there they made me get my hostel card to stay, a circumstance that was not warned in any way when I made the reservation, no matter how many the girl at the front desk said they warned about it .. This is not for 4 euros. It's ok, but I think it needs to be noted somewhere when booking.

Pleasant environment

The reservation was made simultaneously with another reservation in my name for 4 people (quadruple room) and we were not given adjoining rooms, having made the reservation several times in advance. There is also an issue with the lift as the residences have different heights and some don't have a lift and you have to go down or up stairs with your suitcases and it gets heavy. Then there is the problem with the utensils, yes it is true that there are only plates, cutlery, glasses and a small pot, if you want to cook food there, you will need pans, a roasting pan and a bigger pot, depending on who goes.

Ideal for digital nomads visiting Vigo

The materials are obviously damaged: the paint in the bathroom is peeling from moisture, the door frame is raised, the lamps are not being repaired before renting (the one in the kitchen was flickering, but I just did not turn it on and opened the window so that there was enough light) But if you are going to Combining an intense day with an evening on the beach AND YOU HAVE A CAR is recommended. Nearby there is a wonderful and very cheap university cafeteria.

Recommended price quality

Before arriving, they sent us an email so that we could send them our ID number, permission to pay for the number, etc. I guess this would ease the procedures and avoid contact due to the covib. When we arrived we had to show all DNIs again and also pay 4 euros for the hostel card we need to stay there. to which no one notified us either through Booking or from the residence that we needed it. This is not all, although the price is very good.
