Hotel Ponferrada Plaza

You are within walking distance of the town and shops. It was relaxing and enjoyable.

Buena zona, el personal muy amable, nos permitieron salir un poco mas tarde de las 12 sin problemas, habitacion limpia y espaciosa.

No esta mal,cama comoda,pero mal insonorizado.Nos sorprendio la poca ayuda en cuanto a informacion sobre las fiestas de la ciudad que le solicitamos a la recepcionista.Ya que se limito a darnos un plano sin mas....para nuestro gusto,la verdad,muy seca y parca en palabras.

Hotel is lovely, everything you need for a overnight stop. Staff very good. BUT this is a business traveller hotel. It is opposite Decathlon, McDonalds and Lidl. it is a good 25 minute walk to the Castle area, which as tourist we wanted to be near,, so nothing to recommend the area accept that it is a 10 min walk from the bus station.

Everything is right about this hotel, clean , very helpful staff rooms are good ...BUT not if you are a tourist unless you particularly want to be opposite Decathlon or McDonald's or Lidil ! It's a very long walk to the Castle Square area 25 mins i would say at least ! So unless you particularly want to be opposite a retail park it's not for you! It IS a 10 walk from the bus station though! Lovely hotel wrong location...for me !

Personnel are extremely courteous and helpful.

Once we found our way in to this centrally located hotel it was well worth the wait. Nicely refurbished, nice reception, bar area and our well appointed spacious room that overlooks the square. Initially the underground car park entrance seemed difficult to find, but is only minutes away, with the pedestrian entrance just across the square. Continental breakfast is served in the basement restaurant, most enjoyable with fresh produce and a good choice. Ample shops, bars and restaurants in the surrounding streets and alleyways provide an abundance of choice of places to have a beer or a meal. A great atmosphere all around with many of the bars serving tapas with a beer. The castle is worth a look for the energetic but watch your stepping as some of it is quite difficult in places. But a lot of history and some great views. We didn't eat at the hotel but judging by the outside restaurant area it was always busy, so, seems a good place to eat. Had we been here more than two nights we would have given it our custom. If I'm ever back in Ponferrada I would certainly return to this wonderfully clean hotel where the staff are pleasant, helpful and cheery. Not forgetting housekeeping staff who do a wonderful job.

Should you ever find yourself in the town of Ponferrada (it’s on the Camino de Santiago) I strongly recommend that you treat yourself to lunch in the Ponferrada Plaza Hotel. We staggered into this modern hotel on a busy road after a hot afternoon walk from the train station, and when we had checked in to a comfortable room for two, the receptionist told us the Menu del Dia lunch was available in the restaurant. The price was €22 per person. Though a little sceptical of menus del dia in general, we decided it was too hot to explore further. It turned out to be a great. decision. The shaded dining room, occupied by a few family groups finishing their meals, had crisp linen tablecloths bedecked with a serious array of cutlery. The service was of impeccable quality and it was matched by the food. We started with an amuse bouche of watermelon soup, followed by a starter of grilled asparagus and wafer-thin ham slices, accompanied by crackers and foie gras. The fish we selected for our main course was all gone, but the head waiter, in consultation with the chef, suggested bacalao and began to explain it to us. He offered to find other fish if we preferred (There was a river nearby!) We assured him that we liked bacalao - and it was the best we ever tasted, served with daupinoise potatoes. Did I mention the wine? We expected that a Menu del Dia would include a glass of wine each. I was glad to see the waiter pour two generous measures of cold white wine, and I was even gladder when he left us the bottle, cooling in an ice-bucket to one side. After a sorbet, followed by dessert and great coffee we voted this to be one of the most memorable meals ever. Maybe it was the unexpected silver service quality, the superb cooking, the great value, the friendly but unobtrusive ambience, or the relief of such a find after a long train journey – but we’d be glad to go back and do it all again tomorrow!

hotel was good but farther away from city center. we were in town for the camino de santiago stop.

Para ser un hotel con 3 estrellas no esta mal, pero su precio no es acorde a esta categoria, es caro en relacion a la calidad que ofrece. El desayuno para 8,50 € esta muy lejos de ofrecer productos variados y de calidad que avalen el precio. Hotel con gymnasio; mejor que no ofrecieran este servicio, deja muchisimo que desear, tienen una bici y una elíptica viejas y descuidadas (no es comodo utilizarlas) y una cinta de correr que no funcionaba. Deje constancia de mi queja en recepcion indicandome que pasarian nota al Dpto. de mantenimiento. Durante mis cinco dias de estancia no solucionaron nada al respecto.
