Charmingly converted older building. Lovely garden. Attentive staff. Right at edge of historic center, so it’s easy to walk to the sites or get a taxi to the airport.

Great view

It was wonderfully located, about a five minute walk from Cathedral de Santiago de Compostela. They printed our train tickets out for us and recommended a great place to eat. The view from our room was amazing

Wonderful stay after Camino de Santiago

We decided to splurge in a nice hotel after completing the Camino de Santiago. It was great to have a big, comfortable room with all the extra amenities. The service was terrific and the quiet location was superb. We woke up the next day we’ll rested.

Classic and Classy

Beautiful old hotel in excellent condition. Plenty of public spaces to stretch out and mingle. The garden and bar are both great locations for afternoon tea or drink. I would happily return and sty awhile.

It’s a hotel that’s almost like a silent island in the city. I would have preferred a room with a terrace, but besides that it was a very good room. Bar service during the afternoon was unfortunately a bit absent.

Fantastic value & superb service

I can't speak highly enough about this hotel. The property/lobby photos don't do it justice...the hotel oozes charm. We felt more like we were in the UK versus Spain, the only thing missing was a roaring fire in the common area (although there is a small gas fireplace in the cafe). The service was fantastic, especially the ladies in the cafe in the morning. Front desk was incredibly helpful with lending us charging cables and an umbrella. Large rooms, water in the bathroom nice & hot, and comfy beds (if you like firm...minor gripe is we would prefer foam-top). We were there the last week of November, and they were putting up Christmas decorations the day before we left, which made it all the more charming. Truly incredible value for the price. 100% recommended!

Hotel bien ubicado en santiago de Compostela con muy buen servicio y muy buen desayuno lo único es que el clima no funcionaba y la primera noche hizo mucho calor la habitación muy caliente y no pude dormir del calor además que en la tubería de la regadera el agua salía muy caliente o fría era complicado bañarte Creemos que algo pasaba con la tubería Por todo lo demás muy lindo hotel

Trädgårdshotell nära gamla staden.

Mycket bra hotell med trädgård i mitten av hotellet. Tyst. Bekväma sängar. Rätt mycket trappor och även om det fanns hissar var det litet komplicerat för personer med nedsatt rörlighet. Bra frukost. Mycket trevlig och tjänstvillig personal.
