Great place to stay. It was an emergency last minute booking and I was a little concerned with so little left it might not be a good place to book, but it was lovely. The staff was friendly, it was clean, it was a great location. Highly recommend for your stay in Santiago de Compostela.

Great place to stay

We enjoyed an overnight stay here. Close to the station (but uphill) very comfortable room, very clean. We arrived quite late and it was great to be able to get a drink and snack from the bar. We were able to store our bags there while we went to visit the cathedral. We didn’t have breakfast but it looked good with plenty of sliced ham and cheese, and good value.

This hotel was very cozy and with warm reception. Room is clean and the water pressure was amazing, but can be noisy at night due to other guests and/or traffic. It was hot and couldnt manage to make the arcon into cold air. Breakfast was very good. 10min from train station and 15min from town.

The staffs are friendly and helpful. I arrived to the city earlier than checkin time by a couple hours. They let me check in early after confirming the room is ready. The hotel is clean and bright and comfortable.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Staff were extremely helpful and very nice. The hotel listing incorrectly states that laundry service is onsite. This is not true. I struggled to get laundry done offsite since you compete for laundry service from local apartment dwellers and those walking the Camino to Santiago. The room was very sparse - not hand moisturizer (the soap was very drying), conditioner, or waste basket in the room. There were no decent places to eat nearby, and those close were small, smoky bars with limited menus.

The staff was lovely and very helpful. There was always someone in the lobby, and they were able to answer all my questions. They helped me get around town. The room was very clean and very well-maintained. The common areas also were clean and quiet. The location was very convenient to transportation.

Clean but basic rooms.

The hotel room was very basic & worn decor. Mattress was quite hard & for those doing extended travelling, there was no mini fridge. Our room had French doors but you looked onto a wall, however it was nice you could get some fresh air. Be aware that the walk to the Cathedral & old town was some distance away. Parking was easy with the use of a Parking Station nearby.
