Carris Cardenal Quevedo
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Yes, for most visitors this is the one to book in Ourense: four stars, spacious rooms and a quiet central street for about the city's median price. Skip it only if breakfast is a big deal for you, since guests find the buffet limited.

This is our Best Value choice in Ourense. It suits couples and travellers who want room to spread out. Guests single out the large rooms and big bathrooms, and the street is described as quiet, which is welcome in a city centre.
If a generous breakfast is part of how you judge a hotel, think twice. The buffet gets regular criticism for limited variety and slow refilling. The listed facilities are also basic for a four-star, with no gym or restaurant in our data.
Location and getting around
You will find it at Cardenal Quevedo, 28-30. Guests describe a central setting on a quiet street, within walking distance of the historic quarter and the shops. The location score is 9.2 out of 10.
By our straight-line estimates, Ourense Cathedral and the Ponte Vella are each about 0.7 km away, roughly 9 minutes on foot. These walking times have not been verified.
Parking does not appear in our data. Drivers should ask the hotel about options and prices before arriving.
What guests say
With 8.7 out of 10 from 2,083 reviews, it ranks joint 2nd of the 7 eligible hotels we compared in Ourense. It also has the largest review count of our three picks here, so the score rests on a broad base.
Two themes stand out in the praise. The location, on a calm street yet close to the old town. And the rooms, which guests call spacious, with large bathrooms and plenty of floor space.
Breakfast draws the complaints. Guests mention fresh juice and lactose-free options, but many say the choice is limited and the buffet is slow to be refilled. Go early, or plan to eat out some mornings.
Price and how it compares with our other two picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults came to about €80 per night, 1% below the sample median of €81. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, Alda Altiana, is a two-star hotel scoring 8.6 at about €61.75 per night. Our Luxury pick, Barceló Ourense, is a four-star scoring 8.8 at about €81 per night.
The Barceló costs just €1 more per night and adds a gym and a slightly higher score, so check both for your dates. This hotel wins if you value a quiet street and roomy bathrooms. Against the Budget pick, you pay about €18 more per night for two extra stars and fewer noise complaints.
