Staying on a boat is different from the outset, its not the standard hotel room that we are familiar with, This boat was immaculate and perfect for a stay of say two or three nights - I'm UK and we have an affinity with boats anyway so I could easily stay here longer. The level of comfort was exceptional it's not everywhere that you get air-conditioning in each cabin. The seating and facilities were fantastic, plenty of hot water for showers as well. Just to summarise - I would love to spend some more days on this boat. It's family run and they are all lovely and will only want you to enjoy your time on their boat.

Clean and good location to get a boat!
The room we stayed in definitely had the wow factor, a real one off and unforgettable. A very good breakfast was included, and we particularly enjoyed the choice of cereals, seeds etc. We had an evening meal in the restaurant too, which was very good. The hotel is conveniently located, being in the heart of the town, but wasn't noisy. It was just a few minutes walk to our boat transfer to Spain.
Unique experience of staying on a boat in the marina of a lovely town. Easy access to beaches. Made to feel very welcome by the hosts and good orientation to the boat given.
6 beds and a private bathroom along with 5 more in the outside hall. Comfortable bed and great linen. Across the street from taxi mar if you take the boat taxi to a guarda. Resturant around the corner
Polo is an excellent host! Speaks multiple languages fluently, very engaging and welcoming! He even had foot baths for tired pilgrims feet, arranged the taxi and Pilgrim boat for the next morning... He is a genius business man!
We stayed at Patricia's gorgeous guesthouse while waking the Camino Portugues. She welcomed us with a hug, and our jaws dropped when we saw the beautiful bedroom and the spacious patio with a view over the Minho River to Spain! Kitchen was well outfitted and the restaurant down the block was grand. The next day Patricia gave us a lift back to Caminha ... she is a few km north of the boat we needed to take to cross to Spain.
I had a great stay, and highly recommend for pilgrims wanting a private room in caminha. I came in winter and there is only one scheduled transfer across the river, so host accommodated an early breakfast. I came down to dining area to a nice setting with everything I could have wanted. Easy walk to boat in the morning, no problems. Also had a cash bar for drinks, which I did not use, but very convenient.
This was my second stay at this hostel. This time I was staying in big shared room and I had much better experience than before in single room (it was very quiet). I did not had feeling that I am in a dorm with 20 people. They also offer free transfer to boat that actually goes directly to A Guarda port.
Location close to train station and old town; a very clean and well equipped room for the bargain room rate; complementary taxi in the morning for the boat transfer to A Guarda (may be arranged when checking in).
Everything was great: location, staff, everything. Even transfer to the boat will be available right from the albergue.
