Retorta Hotels

"The hotel was lovely, right by the Portomarim sign, our room overlooked it. They have a spa you can rent by the hour with jacuzzi and sauna. The breakfast was delicious and the staff was helpful and friendly. They perfect stop for me on the Camino. "

"Room was extremely clean, the staff was exceptionally courteous, specially Violet from Salamanca. Generally it was a very pleasant stay at both Exe's, Salamanca and Lugo."

"The staff (especially Alex at the front desk!) was helpful, warm, and cheerful! The hotel room was very comfortable, and the gym, while small, had everything we needed for a great workout. The location cannot be beat - center of everything! We had a car, and the parking situation is that they will give you a discounted rate (about 9 euros per day, I believe), and you park just down the street in a garage (5 mins walk). Easy, convenient, safe. I highly recommend this hotel across the board without any hesitations. It was a great stay."

"Thank you excellent service all around."

"We have used this hotel twice now as we pass through Lugo. Good location, clean,convenient and comfortable."

"Great for the camino"

"Wonderful check in staff; great clean room with excellent shower. The buffet dinner was very good and the serving lady was very friendly and polite."

"Very clean. Comfortable bed"

"My sister and I stayed at Hotel Balneario Río Pambre on our second day of the Camino de Santiago, and it was absolutely perfect. Malva was wonderful — so kind and welcoming from the moment we arrived. We enjoyed an amazing massage, cold plunge, and sauna — exactly what our bodies needed after a long walk. Dinner was spectacular, and the next morning they even prepared breakfast for us to take on the Camino. Everything was beyond expectations — peaceful, beautiful, and full of care. I’ll definitely come back. Truly the best hotel."
