My wife and I stayed in the albergue in Redondela last year so had no experiences with other places but in Brierleys guide are some mentioned and the experiences we had in places like Pontevedra, Caldas de Reis and Padrón I think they are about the same so nothing to worry about and basicly comfy.I've done the Camino Portugués twice, but have never stayed in Redondela. The first time I carried on to the Playa de Cesantes (and stayed in the Hotel Antolín), and the second time, after having lunch a few kilometres the other side of Redondela in the Pensión Jumboli (on the main road), I carried on to Arcade.
My question is this: as my wife will be with me this time (her first Camino!) and she wants a bit more comfort than what you find in albergues, where would you recommend us to stay?
Thanks!
Xunta albergue RedondelaI stayed in redondela in the junta albergue. It was comfortable but very unwelcoming, just like Tui and Padron. I thought Arcade looked very pretty as I walked through - a nice place to stay.
Don't know but a great service they offer.Has anyone ever stayed in the Hostal Bahia de Chapela? Just a few kilometres away, overlooking the Ría de Vigo. They say they will transport you from and back to Redondela.

I will keep it in mind for next year May. Thanks for sharing.
Could mean that they boil your morning egg a little bit longer than usualThis is what they say (in Spanish):
Bahia de Chapela S.L., les ofrece su servicio de atención especial al Peregrino.
Siempre que se encuentren en la zona de Redondela o cercanías, les recogemos , les trasladamos a nuestro establecimento, para que puedan descansar y disfrutar de nuestro acogedor ambiente, y luego les trasladamos a su lugar de partida.
Looks pretty decent on their web-site:

I have booked here in September, hope it is a good place.We stayed in Alvear Suites in Redondela. The price is a lot higher than an albergue, but the comfort can not be compared.
This hostal is interesting if you arrive from the coastal route,coming from Vigo.This is what they say (in Spanish):

Sounds better than "roncking ville" Thanks for the tipHas anyone ever stayed in the Hostal Bahia de Chapela? Just a few kilometres away, overlooking the Ría de Vigo. They say they will transport you from and back to Redondela.

The place is dank. Much too crowded, poky. Though the top floor and lounge areas are okay the general feel is of a resource that resents actual pilgrims. I found it unacceptable. Sleeping on the streets is less humiliating.
The Dr is IN:To answer the two most recent posts, I expect a friendly welcome and a caring attitude. I have no complaints about the facilities, which were beautifully presented. But the welcome one receives on arrival after a long, hard day is all important, and readily given at almost all establishments. There is no extra cost involved in providing a smile.
I can 't disagree with you. Just setting the table so pilgrims are aware of all that goes into maintaining an albergue municipal.Redondela lost my confidence when one of the bed ladders collapsed in the night. My partner was hurt. Bruised and bleeding. The staff didn't give a stuff. They were more concerned about the bed and placing blame.
Arn. You are correct to object to unrealistic expectation, but the municipal albergue in Redondela is badly run, and unwelcoming. It would be better shut or the capacity halved. I have walked sections of the Portuguese route four times in the last decade. The Redondela Alb is definitely poor. And no doubt is not what the local people think they should be or want to be paying for.
