Un coqueto hotel en una ubicación excelente y con un servicio excepcional.
Pros:

La amabilidad del personal es excepcional y la ubicación excelente. La habitación estaba decorada de forma muy acogedora.

Cons:

Lo peor es la ventana de la habitación que casi no podía abrirse y que no dejaba entrar mucha luz ya que era una planta baja. El desayuno no hacía justicia a otras características del hotel ya que para ser un buffet era básico y poco variado.

Great Place to Stay when Finishing the Camino, Excellent Location and Friendly Staff
Pros:

What an incredible location right around the corner from the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral! We started our stay with a wonderful greeting from Sandra at the front desk who continued to help us with a smile including making our transportation to the train station when we left. The room was awesome and the bed was so comfortable! We loved our stay here and highly recommend to those coming in to visit Santiago de Compostela or to those that walk in from the Camino as we did.

Comfortable bed and breakfast in a perfect location for the cathedral.
Pros:

The warm welcome and helpful staff. Our bedroom and bathroom were clean and comfortable. The location was stunning.

Cons:

The like of facilities. After 1pm there is no possibility of having even a cup of tea or coffee in the hotel and the bedroom lacked the facilities to make a drink. It is a shame the hotel cannot use the bar it already had in the breakfast room for the rest of the day.
