Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“This review is for the restaurant as we didn’t stay at the hotel, but my goodness was it amazing. We walked in late and got a table immediately. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The tomato salad was simple but out of this world. The steak my friend got was ‘bomb’ and the venison stew I got was very good. The baked cheesecake was delicious. We compared all our meals in Galicia to this standard and only one other place came close (a seafood restaurant on the other side of Galicia). We are so happy to have stumbled into this restaurant.”
“It's a restaurant with a lot of history. The food is always great and has won awards. They have typical Galician food and all kind of fish, meats and entrées. The desserts are meh but the wines and food are wonderful and the service is quick and proper.”
“We had an amazing stay in Lobios here. Maria José and specially João were extremely friendly and also amazing guides referring what to do every day! The room was clean and comfortable, there's available parking but the staff made this become 5*! Obrigada João e Maria José!”
“What a nice restaurant, really. The staff are friendly, the food it is just delicious. And the prices are a nice surprise. The dessert, well delicious. Highly recommend.”
