The staff were exceptionally friendly, always ready to
assist with any inquiries. My room was quite spacious and maintained daily for cleanliness. Location-wise, it was a quick stroll to the Cathedral, making it perfect for sightseeing. The lack of a safety deposit box was a minor drawback during my stay.

This was just a well-suited match for a transient stop in Santiago de Compostela with good value for price. The location was super convenient with an airport bus stopping right outside, making it easy to get around. Consider bringing a power strip as there weren't enough sockets in the room.

The location couldn’t be better, right beside the historic center. The No 1 bus from the airport stops just in front, making transportation super easy. I found the room a good size, but it had a noticeable smell of dampness, particularly near the window, likely due to some previous water damage. Breakfast was quite simple, but the coffee was decent. On the bright side, the cleaning staff did a great job, and I appreciated the comfy bed after long days exploring the city. Unfortunately, I faced an inconvenience with the breakfast area being crowded due to tour groups, which made it challenging to enjoy meals. Overall, it's a decent base for sightseeing, but there are definitely areas for improvement.

The location was superb, just a short walk to the Cathedral, with a bakery right on the square. The room was comfortable and spacious, with a bathtub—definitely a win after the Camino! Plus, the airport bus stops conveniently nearby.
Nothing.

Central location puts you right at the edge of the historic center, ideal for sightseeing. The underground car park nearby offers convenient access with a price of €14 for 24 hours, making it easy if you're arriving by car.
On my two-night stay, the bathroom cleanliness left a lot to be desired, with remnants of cream on the taps and hairdryer. Breakfast runs on a tight schedule, clearing out 20 minutes before the end, so I had to miss it altogether one morning. Plus, the fire alarm triggered in the middle of the night turned into a chaotic experience, with limited guidance from the lone receptionist and no fire brigade showing up.

Recommend it for short stays
The location is solid—just a few minutes walk to the old town. Also, I gotta say, the staff was really friendly, especially those two at the front desk. they made us feel welcomed when we arrived late that night!
It wasn’t exactly cheap, but still acceptable.
