Nest El Camino — Hotel in Santiago de Compostela

This hotel is a popular choice for guests of the university as it is adjacent to the south campus. It's only about a 15 minute walk to the old town, though not the ideal location for a tourist.||||My room was quiet and had a window overlooking a yard and campus. The walls seem a bit thin, though I had no problems with noisy neighbors.||||The room and en suite bathroom were clean, and the bed was comfortable. The room was small, but by no means cramped--actually pretty spacious for an urban European hotel. Accommodations are basic--there is a small TV (Spanish channels only), towels, soap, and bedding are provided along with a desk, wardrobe and phone. That's about it. ||||There is a sitting room downstairs with an old computer with an internet connection. I opted to use wi-fi at a cafe across the street instead. There is an elevator. No food is served, but there many several restaurants nearby for meals. ||||Note, the chatty proprietors speak Spanish, French, and I think Italian, but not English. So you need to either know a bit of one of those languages or have a phrase book. At night, you do have to ring the doorbell for entry. ||||Overall, a tourist will probably prefer to spend a bit more for a better location and/or a place with a bit more character, but at a mere 36 euro per night, overall it was a good value and a good...

Situated on a very busy street, about 15min walk from the old town. The rooms are small, but freshly decorated. Cleaning is carried out every day, with fresh towels supplied. Beds and pillows comfortable. We were situated on the 'street' side of the hotel, which was fine provided the French windows were kept closed. On opening the windows, the noise and smell of the outside traffic was horrendous. We had a little balcony, but were really unable to use it because of the traffic. The room had a television, but unfortunately there were no 'English' channels available. The bathroom was fine, with a good shower over a small bath. The ventilation in the bathroom was inadequate however, and caused the room to feel rather damp. Our main gripe was the fact that we were unable to switch on the heater in our room. We returned to the hotel one evening soaking wet and asked if we could have the heater switched on. We were told that this could not be done because it would mean switching all of...
