- "I cannot rate this place highly enough. I got there at 10am and knew my room would not be ready. Rafi took my bag , took me to the car park and when I told him I had travelled through the night and would need to sleep in the afternoon, he changed my room to the quietest part of the hotel so I would not be disturbed. Breakfast was continental but had everything from freshly made toast to hams cheeses eggs and pastries plus freshly squeezed orange juice and delicious coffee. A wonderful start to my Camino journey.
