VÍA XIX

Great place on the Camino. Nothing at all to dislike. Great breakfast.

We spent one night in Caldes de Reims at Hotel Via XIX. The hotel is centrally located, on the Camino Portuguese and a beautiful boutique hotel. We arrived after a tough day on the Camino and a full day in driving rain. Checkin is up on the second level and we felt horrible as we were soaked and drippy. The staff was understanding and helped us get to our room. After drying and sorting, we were please to learn that the hotel has a small laundry facility for guests. We promptly got our wet cloths to the washer and dryer and set out to find dinner. The hotel is nicely located, but we did not venture far for food and supplies. The morning came quickly and breakfast was set for specific times to ensure service. It was pleasant and appreciated. After breakfast, we dropped our bags and headed back out into the rain. This time with ponchos to help keep us dry. Thank you to the kind staff at the Hotel Via XIX for making our stay comfortable.

The best place on the Camino by far! So clean, friendly and right on the path of the Camino. One of the best hospitality experiences a travel could ask for! We wish we could have stayed longer. The town of Caldes de Reis is so cute as well!

This was our second stay at the Via XIX, and I highly recommend staying here if you plan to spend a night or two in Caldas de Reis The rooms are clean, comfortable and modern. We were in a superior double room that had lovely balconies overlooking the street. The beds were the most comfortable we had during our entire trip – slightly plush but firm enough to be supportive. The room is well-lit with plenty of available electrical outlets. Breakfast was included in the room rate. For those of you on the Camino, Via XIX has free laundry facilities, located in a secure building (you need your room key to access the facilities) just 25 meters from the hotel. Mercedes is a wonderful hostess and is a pleasure to interact with.

Superb hotel, top notch lobby, rooms, annd breakfast. Super safe with card only entry into hotel, each floor, and room. Owners are on site and will take care of all your needs. Breakfast is great and included. Clothes washer and dryer available and included.

The staff was excellent. My wife was not feeling well during the stay. The staff was very accommodating. They let us stay a few hours after checkout and helped us get a cab to our next destination. Would highly recommend.
