Our arrival in September 2011 was dealt with courteously and efficiently, up to the standard we were to get used to over the following week at 4 other Paradores. Our room was very comfortable, quiet, large, beautifully furnished and with a fabulous bathroom. The view from our room was interesting if not spectacular. The very obliging staff prepared a superb meal late into the evening and were very helpful in guiding us through the menu which was welcome after a long tiring journey. And such a lovely restaurant.
We enjoyed our stay, even though it was a short one. The only slight blot was the member of staff who dealt with our departure, who seemed to feel we were a distraction from whatever it was he would prefer to be doing. In fact that was the only blot on all 9 nights we spent at Paradores.

La vista desde nuestra habitacion era muy pacifica y agradable. Las gaviotas gritaban y los barcon mecian en el agua. La habitacion era un poco oscura pero acogedora justamente porque no me encontraba muy bien. El servicio durante la cena no nos gustaba: la camarera nos trataba sin interes y con mucha prisa. El desayuno nos gusto mucho mas.
Ferrol no tiene nada que visitar pero el parador es apacible.

We arrived at Parador Farrel in the rain with a flat tire on our rental care. The manager was very helpful by calling Hertz and helping us with our situation. It was a pleasant end to a stressful day.

I stayed in this very well appointed Parador in Ferrol in May this year and I was not disappointed! It is a beautiful old building in a very well kept part of town. The management and staff were kind and efficient. The bedroom was small but well furnished and adequate. The bathroom was airy and well stocked with toiletries and towels.
The naval theme is wonderful throughout the building – some of the lamps were very impressive.
The breakfast was adequate but could be better with some fresh fruit, boiled eggs, etc.
As this was the start of my Camino it served me well. The staff were not put off either with us arriving with our boots and rucksacs – but they were clean, after all we had not yet started on the road!
I would stay here again and hope to do so in the near future with some more colleagues as once more we walk the Camino.

We really liked this Parador when we stayed here in September 2009. It has pleasant, well-furnished communal areas, though the reception desk seemed a little cramped.
It is decorated tastefully to a naval theme, and our room overlooking the main square was comfotable and airy, with a well-appointed bathroom.
The hotel made arrangements for us to have an early breakfast so that we could catch our train – which was adequate but hardly worth the money we had paid for breakfast. We’ll do room only next time we have a train at 8 in the morning!

The food in the restaurant was not up to the usual parador standard. The room was comfortable. The staff were not very welcoming and I found it particularly annoying to be checking out with the manager settling the account whilst on the phone to someone else at the same time. This was despite there being someone else in the reception area who could have answered the phone. He did not even have the courtesy to get off the phone and say goodbye to us as guests. I am afraid I could not recommend anyone staying here and I feel to include this in your itinerary does a disservice to the other Paradors whom we visited which were all excellent.
