Top El Franco Hotel Reviews

Hotel Voar

Hotel Voar

10/10 Excellent
"My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Voar. The staff were friendly and attentive, communal facilities bright, airy and clean. There were many highlights from our stay there but for me, the swimming pool was great, not very big but ample for a few swimmers. The place is surrounded by nature (as well as several business and shopping outlets) and you could constantly hear bird singing and view beautiful trees. Breakfast was really good too, with a good variety of food and freshly squeezed orange juice. There was no traditional "fry items" such as sausages, bacon etc, but there was Spanish potato omelette, fresh fruit and many other tasty things to try. Eroski and Lidl were only 2-3 minutes away from the hotel. The room was of good size and provided with aircon, which was very beneficial as it was a warm day and night. The hotel was a short 15 minute walk to the town centre. where there are a few places to eat and drink as well as several supermarkets. Tlenty of secure parking, and we were lucky to be able to see our parked motorbike from the bedroomhere were two lovely cafes at the town hall square with delicious hot chocolate with churros, which we were lucky to try. We both think it was a great value stay and would love to go back."

"Great hotel. Room spacious, great view. Free parking! Food was excellent. Only one suggestion: they need to build a ramp to go to second level. One needs to carry luggage up and I dont know what a person in a wheel chair will do, or a mom with a heavy stroller. Other than that, it is a 10."

Hotel A. G. Porcillán

10/10 Excellent
"We came to Ribadeo for the 2026 total solar eclipse. We stayed the entire week. Aurora and Israel are fantastic hosts. They answered all of our questions and served us wonderful coffee every morning. Advice for others going to A G Porcillan: 1. Parking. Do not try to park at the hotel when you arrive it will likely be busy. Go to Estacionamiento del Puerto de Ribadeo and park there, then walk to the hotel. It isn't far, there are usually spots open, and it will save you from having to turn around in narrow streets. DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH TOWN! Google Maps will suggest this, don't do it or you will get frustrated! 2. READ THE BOOKLET in your hotel room. It has all sorts of information you can't find on Google, like the nearest grocery store (GADIS, you can walk, they have wine and beer and fresh bread); restaurants that are open all day, sights to see, etc. I wish we had read the booklet before we ventured out on our own the first day. 3. Ask for the room with the BIG BALCONY. Such a relaxing place after a long walk or a drive around the coast. The stray cats on the rooftops were entertaining. And it was cooler out there (the hotel does not have A/C but they provided a standing electric fan). 4. Aurora will provide the paperwork and information to visit Praia as Catedrais. This is very important, that you GO 1 HOUR BEFORE LOW TIDE. If you go after low tide you might get kicked off the beach. Trust your hosts. Love to Aurora and Israel! --Sarah and Adam"

"The apartment was spacious and modern. The gate didn’t work at first but this was resolved over the phone very quickly. The apartment had a lift from the garage to access the flat and the laundry room. Back entrance direct to the beach was useful, although we favour the beach which was slightly out of town as it was a bit quieter than the main beach. I thought the flat was meant to have air conditioning, but it didn’t. Otherwise well equipped."
