Great value for an historic hotel
Pros:

A beautiful hotel. Terrific location. Quiet and peaceful. As a solo traveler, I had a lovely room with an enclosed porch that overlooked the garden on the 1st floor (really the 2nd floor) in the old section of the hotel.

Cons:

Nothing

Clean, quiet, if a bit dated
Pros:

On a busy street, but my room was quiet. Clean, well appointed room, if a bit dated.

Cons:

Gorgeous breakfast spread, but my table had ants. Maybe I should have eaten at another table 🤷. If you’re sore from the Camino, you have to walk up and down a big hill to get to and from this hotel.

A pleasant stay if you ignore the price.
Pros:

The location is good only a short walk from the cathedral and several restaurants and bars. The garden area is a pleasant find within a busy urban area and provided a peaceful haven. The breakfast was plentiful and good.

Cons:

I think the rooms are becoming a little tired. My room view was on the same level as and looking onto the entry slope to a carpark - I mean right outside the window. Main issue however was the price, which frankly was extortionate and I don’t think merited by the facilities.

Neprofesionální, nebezpečné
Pros:

Lokalita

Cons:

Porušení bezpečnostních opatření, chybějící hasici přístroje dle evakuačního plánu. Žádná reakce ze strany hotelu. Mizerna snídaně, chybějící štětka na toaletu(chápeme nařízení) ale dodat ji tam bez našeho vědomí, když jsme byli pryč vnímám jako narušení soukromí.
