I have to deduct a star because our room 104 had people outside talking until 5 am. I think these people were somewhere around the corner but since everything is stone ie streets and buildings the sound carries and amplifies. This is not the fault of the hotel however even double windows in this room did not keep the noise out. Finally had to look for my earplugs but we had to get up at 6:30 am for a flight. The location near cathedral was great and the staff very helpful in looking for a specific food restaurant for us. However we could not find the restaurant recommended. We asked two local ladies and they had not heard of it. Who knows. Anyway one of the ladies walked us to another restaurant and went inside to find out if they served lamb, which they did. She recommended the restaurant and it was very good. This lady really made me like Santiago even more. The hotel made sure to have our breakfast and taxi ready at 7:15. Prior to our trip, I advised hotel that we would be celebrating my birthday and wedding anniversary and any consideration would be appreciated. They advised hotel was full so could not get a better room. No problem but a celebratory token would have been very appreciated. They missed an opportunity to make our stay spectacular. I hope they can work on soundproofing their room as that was...
Read moreWe stayed 3 nights. We had a great deal which included breakfast. As others have written, the service we received from the staff at the front desk and in the breakfast area was always excellent. The hotel is a 3-4 minute walk to the entrance of the cathedral. From the lobby there is a short stair run to get to the modern glass elevator. Luggage is moved from the lobby to this level on a handicapped chair lift. Our 3rd floor room, 303, has the pitched roof above. It had no windows on the walls, but there was a skylight with a shutter that could be opened and the shutter opened or closed with a remote control. We left it alone. The room was big enough, the bathroom less so, but not uncomfortably so. The small hand sink made splashing water on the floor when washing your face inevitable. The room was always made up well. The pillows were foam, and the bed fine. There were no bags for dry cleaning. The breakfast area is small, and the items to eat in accordance with the space. You could request some specialty coffee drinks from the server, who was always very accommodating. I will try to add the photos I took. Our 3rd floor area clearly does not cover the entire hotel footprint. Note that we are native...
Read moreThis hotel is what you stumble into at the end of the world—Santiago de Compostela—when your feet are blistered, your soul cracked open, and all you want is peace and a clean place to sleep. The building’s got bones—historic charm that whispers old-world stories through its stone walls. The room? Spacious and quiet, with a bed that actually respects the Camino-weary body. Staff are kind and competent, but the Camino spirit didn’t make it through the front door. You’ll find no shared meals or pilgrim buzz, just a lounge and leafy patio where you can disappear into your own stillness. Bathrooms are clean, though someone forgot about airflow. No kitchen, no Camino camaraderie—but bars, groceries, and restaurants are just around the corner. It’s not a pilgrim’s refuge, but it’s a damn good place to land if you’ve had enough of bunk beds and...
