We stayed one day in Santiago de Compostela. This a perfect quaint hotel in the heart of the old part of town just meters away from the grand cathedral. We never left the old medieval town except to visit the park Nextdoor

This is a beautiful hotel right near the cathedral and east to find. The staff are fabulous and helpful. The room was lovely, larger than expected, with a large bathroom, great shower and even a bidet! Very comfy bed and pillows. The breakfast buffet was great and included scrambled eggs and bacon. It was a lovely treat to stay here after finishing our Camino.

I had always wanted to stay at this hotel and it did not disappoint! I had a very lovely single room that I was able to check into early and drop off my backpack so that I could attend noon Mass. The staff went out of their way to be helpful. The location couldn’t be beat! I would definitely stay here again!
