Absolute Empfehlung für Altstadt Santiago
Pros:

Zentrale Lage in der Altstadt, direkt um die Ecke zur Kathedrale. Sauber, gemütlich, sehr freundliches Personal. Immer wieder gerne.

Cons:

Alles top - wünschenswert wäre ein kleiner Wasserkocher im Zimmer.

Wonderful! Highly recommend.
Pros:

This is a family owned and operated boutique hotel. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, the nicest people. The rooms are super clean, comfortable and beautiful, the exposed rock wall and exposed wood ceiling beams make the rooms feel cozy and timeless. The location was exceptional, right in the heart of the old city, only a few steps from the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. They make the best Tarta de Santiago I've ever had.
