Wonderful stay and great value
We felt so welcome and comfortable in the Scala hotel in Padron. The check-in was fast the hotel room spacious, clean and quiet with a nice view. The drinks at the bar and dinner in the restaurant were excellent.

A lovely surprise at the end of a long day. Staff were always accommodating our requests even though it was not convenient for them. Our dining experience was absolutely perfect with special attention given to us. A totally lovely place all around.

The biggest problem we had was finding this hotel. We were walking the Camino, not using GPS, internet, or cell calls. Do not think that once you get to Padron you will find this hotel. You walk right out of town and keep on walking. We stopped and asked people and were told at least twice it was "four kilometers ahead." When we finally arrived it's sort of in the middle of nowhere. Not much to choose from for lunch and dinner (other than their restaurant). They do include breakfast. The front staff did not inform us there was a pool and one worker was particularly short and curt. The hotel is very big and there were busloads of people staying there. The room didn't have a double bed, only two already made up twin beds pushed together with very hard mattresses. If you are walking the Camino, this is a different experience from the small, intimate places you have already been.

Good location for Camino. Not much sleep for us though. Really bad acoustics in hotel. Music during the afternoon and staff moving furniture till very late at night. Wouldn't recommend.

Arrived after a long day of walking asked about food told to go down stairs …. Disappointed in the service felt like I was not welcomed. Remodeling going on room loud then kids running through hall late at night just over all not the best place to stay knowing the next day would be a long walk to Santiago.

Older but comfortable
Nice hotel, but definitely busy for any type of stay. Maybe not so much for those on the Camino, but it sits right on the path. The cafeteria was fine, but old and felt like a Bingo Hall. Nothing wrong with that, just old fashioned. The room was a little outdated, but clean and comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful. Overall, good stay

The hotel is a bit rundown and not terribly attractive. However, it is conveniently located on the Portuguese Camina de Compostela. Breakfast service was not much better than at a Holiday Inn Express but dinner was quite good.

The property is well maintained and very clean. After staying in 13 hotels within 2 weeks, and all 4 and 5 star hotels, I must say that this one (a 3star hotel) was the cleanest.

Lovely Elegant Hotel
Beautiful charming hotel. Only the charm is old. The facility is very well kept and very lovely. Restaurants onsite. Its a 30 minute walk from the town of Padron and not much else around it. Staff are all very helpful which was especially helpful when you don't speak Spanish. Right on the Camino trail. Would definitely stay there again.

Pass it by
If you're walking the Camino de Santiago, do not stay here. It is far better to stay in Padron, the town two miles further back. This is really a truck-stop/ bus stop kind of place. There are far better places.

OK for a one night Camino pilgrim stay.
Took a quad room with three other pilgrims walking the Camino Portugese. The room was adequate, though a bit crowded with four beds. Located a bit past Padron on the Camino so other than the hotel restaurant, not much in the way of food out here.
