Pensión Rúa Nova — Hotel in Santiago de Compostela

Pros : ||Location very central but with drawbacks ||Wifi ok ||Shower decent though doors are strange and tight||Cons : ||Thin walls and ceiling - giving lots if noise from other rooms and halls||Small room with only around 30cm between the bed and the wall makes passing around very difficult for adults (for anybody really)||Accordingly, the tight space makes room difficult to share||Church bells every 15 min throughout the night from the cathedral. Also lots of noise from the street below which is the main pedestrian area||No reception on site. The key pick up was elsewhere. It was very inconvenient to have to drag our bags through the tourist crowds. With no car access or parking nearby, it is however necessary to carry ones baggage through this||When lights turned on during night visits to the toilet, the installed glass door to the toilet means that the other person sleeping will be disturbed in his or her sleep||Didnt honour chosen option on booking.com for a double bed (instead twin beds) with some seriously bad attitude from the receptionist (Sandra I believe...

Rua Nova is beautiful! It must be brand new, with excellent shower and beds, wifi...although not a typical hotel room in size, it has all the necessities, just in a smaller package. Rua Nova is a kick off of Pension Rua Villar, a hotel a street over, which runs this site. The service couldn't have been more helpful and was "on site" 24 hours (in the hotel - just call the white phone). Now the downside...cathedral bells rang every 15 min throughout the night. Add noise from the main street below and the street cleaner truck at around 5 and you get zero rest! Even with the windows closed, the noise was enough to keep us up. Plus, our room (rm 11) had a street lamp beaming into the windows so not only did we have to keep the windows closed, but the blinds as well. Normally we like to find a place in the old parts of cities - we paid dearly for it this time. If it wasn't for the beautiful room, great service, and convenience to restaurants and the cathedral, I would have rated this place "poor." If you're a light...
