The perfect place to stay after finishing the Camino
Pros:

The hotel was steeped in history, but still modernised enough to be very comfortable. Staff were all very welcoming. Being located right on the square near the Cathedral where all of the pilgrims arrive was a bonus - the hotel was a very welcoming sight for me when I completed my Camino! Breakfast was fantastic! A buffet with lots of choice, and very plentiful.
Lovely to be able to have a bath after all that walking!

Nice
Pros:

Location!

Cons:

Long walk to the room. Our particular room didn’t have a thermostat control so it was hot. Also they didn’t have a boxed breakfast as we told them we were leaving early.

Bien sans plus
Pros:

Parador avec des décorations très belles. Très bon petit déjeuner. Repas correct au restaurant typique.

Cons:

Rapport qualité prix comparativement à d’autres paradores. Ne correspond pas à un 5 étoiles pour les prestations. Pourquoi un 5 étoiles alors que les paradores sont des 4 étoiles si ce n’est le prestige du bâtiment.

Felt like royalty in this hotel - best location in Santiago
Pros:

We were 7 pilgrims in 4 rooms. This was a splurge for us at the end of our hike. Well worth it and so glad we stayed here. It is right on the plaza next to the church. Staff was incredible. Breakfast was included and quite spectacular - huge buffet with cook to order eggs and meat. The gardens and lobby area was so peaceful. The history of the building is very special. We stayed two nights (and wish we could have stayed longer). Morning no. 2 we had to leave early and they packed a take away breakfast for us.

Cons:

Nothing

Lifetime experience Hotel, worth every €
Pros:

El hotel no podría ser más bonito y mejor ubicado, está lleno de "reliquias" , solamente pasear por el hotel merece media mañana.
Todos los trabajadores han sido muy educados y simpáticos.
Si algun dia puedo volver a Santiago 100% volveré a quedarme en este hotel.

Cons:

Ha sido todo estupendo.
