Platja de Ribeira

It works! This is a very basic but clean and modern hostel in the heart of Padrón. Rooms are a little small, but serve the purpose of spending one night on El Camino. Location is great, close to everything. It is selfe-serve, as there nobody is on the property. It works like an airbnb. But our conclusion is that it does work for pilgrims on el Camino that want a clean private room and shower.

Check in was a bit delayed for a late check in. The front desk questioned me several times about the booking and I felt because I was dressed in basketball shorts and muscle shirt I was being judged a bit even after showing the itinerary as if I was lying. But once confirmed her attitude changed. Aside from that the stay was great. Spa and restaurant employees were courteous and helpful. Great buffet options and food was fresh and delicious. The spa amenities were very clean and updated. Outdoor pool areas very clean and well maintained. The curtain in the restroom window was not functioning properly to open.
