Pros:

10 minutos andando al centro y el personal

Cons:

No hay sitio para descargar el coche, tienes que dejarlo en un parking a 5 minutos y cargar con las maletas.
La calefacción en octubre no era una opción a poner en la habitación porque a nivel central solo tenían puesto el aire acondicionado

No geral, uma opção razoável para Santiago de Compostela.
Pros:

Um hotel simpático, com um quarto agradável e, ao contrário de todos os outros hotéis Alda onde já fiquei, o ar condicionado funcionava mesmo!

As funcionárias da receção foram especialmente simpáticas, algo que merece destaque.

Cons:

Pela negativa, as portas não isolavam bem o ruído e os cortinados não impediam a entrada de luz.
