Hotel Monumento Pazo de Orbán in Lugo

They aim to “be a different kind of hotel”, and I’d say that true — the decor is curious but fun, and great to be so central. Clean, large rooms and a welcome reception. Good last minute room rate. Thanks for a great stay

On the back of some challenging days on Camino Primitivo our stay at this place was delightful.
Very clean, spacious, elegant and very well located next to the wall.
Very good service, nothing was a problem.
Great breakfast and cafe/bar
Highly recommend.

We had a superior room which had amazing views of the wall and sunset. Large comfy bed, airy room, good bathroom. Safe parking although prebook this as spaces limited, the place is filled with antiquities and knickknacks , pots outside filled with acre trees give a great garden feel in a enclosed space. Only downside was no kettle in room, but friendly owner happily filled my thermos for me to take to room.

We had two stays here in July, both for a number of days and all I can say is that we really loved it. It is situated within and close to the Roman wall. It is within easy walking distance of numerous bars and restaurants and some of the key tourist attractions e.g the cathedral and the Museo a Domus do Mitreo, both of which are well worth visiting. The hotel is also close to steps leading upto the top of the wall so, if you are up for it, you can enjoy the 3km walk around it. We had what we felt must be, the best room in the hotel with 2 balconies overlooking the wall, the modern city beyond and the countryside. The room basically had everything we needed apart from perhaps a second chair and a perhaps a box of tissues. The bed was comfortable and they kindly provided a kettle so we tea mad English could have a cup when ever we wanted one. As said it is a bit quirky with artifacts absolutely everywhere and some of them we felt would be worth quite a bit. There are even full sixed 'mannequins' in the outdoor seating area which is a great place to sit and have a drink and people watch! Breakfast is available every morning and dinner is from Wednesday to Sunday evenings. The breakfast is fine but there could be a little more variation while the evening dining experience which we did a few times was excellent. What was amazing was the staff. We could not praise them enough. Everyone did everything to make sure our stay was enjoyed. So, BIG THANKS to Maria and Manuel, their 'grown up' children, Maria, Manuel and Nikolas and not forgetting the cook Alejandro. We are likely to be in Lugo again sometime next year and there is only one place we will stay - HERE!

Amazing stay!
An amazing stay which I highly recommend! Lugo is a wonderful and beautiful city to visit and this hotel is the place to stay! The whole staff is so kind, helpful and friendly. It’s a magnificent historical building with all the comfort of modern hotel! In the heart of all the highlights of the city!

Great place and
Wonderfull staff. Hightly recommend it.

My partner and I stayed here a year ago (visiting from Canada) for two nights and we loved our experience. The hotel had a classic decor but all the functionality we required. We had breakfast one morning and it was an incredible spread - various meats, cheeses, fruits, cakes and more - we felt very lucky! The location is excellent. Despite its close proximity to bars, we couldn't hear noise from outside in our room and had a great sleep. The owner was very friendly and efficient and helped us book a taxi for early hours on our departure date. There are a few chain hotels in the area but I would most definitely recommend staying here instead. Thank you for a lovely stay!

We were happy to be able to reserve a room at short notice but didn't realize what a truly wonderful hotel the Monumento Pazo de Orbán e Sangro is until we arrived. The location couldn't be better, especially for those who travel environmentally friendly with public transportation, just a few minutes stroll from the Cathedral and even closer to the main area of taverns, cafes, and restaurants. And the famous Roman walls are just behind the hotel. (There is special parking for those who travel by car, but we wish you would leave your car at home.)

The very helpful, charming, and friendly María provided us with our key and information about the hotel. We were distracted by all the things to look at from the second floor where the elevator stops to the top floor, where our suite was located. So many beautiful antiques, bric-a-brac, sculptures, lamps. Photos certainly didn't do our room justice - you have to be there to enjoy the coziness and comfort. And the bathroom with bath and shower is full modern and looks brand new. In spite of the attic location and summer heat, the room was still cool. And we had a direct view of the Roman walls, too!

Manuel provided us a deliciously fresh orange juice in the blistering August heatwave on the terrace of the hotel with great views of the Roman walls.

Later in the evening we were lucky enough to get to know Manuel's father of the same name, the hotel's owner who told us how he transformed an old factory with sewing machines into a fascinatingly detailed work of love with treasures of all kinds, ranging from samples of detergent used in Spain a century ago to a quirky assortment of manikins (reference to the history of the building) arranged all over the place.

The breakfast was wonderful with a delicious selection of local cheeses and healthy fruits.

Our only regret - Lugo wasn't on our original itinerary, so we only had a day to spare. But we've already planned a return for a week. And if our suite is booked? Then we'll take any of the other rooms, María said they're all different and charming in their own way, just like the wonderful hosts at this hotel.

I have travelled a lot but this is probably the most unique hotel I have ever stayed in. The double room was spacious, very clean and had a beautiful bathroom. The hotel itself contains the most wonderfully eclectic collection of art - from paintings to model cars to marionettes and life-sized statues. It was in a great location right near the inside of the original Roman wall and also had an amazing buffet breakfast.
