Nice guest rooms in a charming 14th? Century building in old town, only steps from the end point of camino de santiago. Staff was extremely helpful - did our laundry after we finished the camino (for free) and arranged taxis for us. Really enjoyed our stay.

There were not shampoo and soap in the dispenser, I had to call to claim them to bring some. Water went out of the shower, I had to use the towels to dry the flor. For price the room and bathroom are very small, also no coffe in the loby nor in the room. No closet for cloth - very uncomfortable for the price.

Our room was lovely with a beautiful view. What made our experience particularly enjoyable was Jose who worked the front desk. He was very nice and came running up the stairs when he heard me stumble and spill a coffee. He even offered to go buy me another one which was very kind. And he arranged a taxi for us and helped with our bags. It was so nice to meet him and he made our stay so enjoyable and memorable.
