Very comfortable and safe hotel with a super location .
Pros:

The location and the cheerful professional staff.

Cons:

Hearing every creak of the floor from neighbouring rooms but it’s old so you get used to it after the first night .

A super quiet and perfectly located hotel near all the sights
Pros:

This hotel is ideally located right in the center of Santiago's old town. It is incredibly quiet—we couldn't even hear the nearby pop concert or fireworks from our room. The air conditioning worked flawlessly, making our stay highly comfortable. I would absolutely book this hotel again without hesitation.

Eine tolle Unterkunft für den letzten Tag am Camino
Pros:

Die Lage ist großartig - nur ein paar Gehminuten von der Kathedrale entfernt. Das Hotel und die Zimmer sind rustikal charmant, passen aber perfekt zur Altstadt. Meinem Zimmer hat es an nichts gefehlt. Das Personal und das Service waren super.

Lovely hotel in a character building in the centre of town.
Pros:

Lovely clean old fashioned hotel right in the centre of town with really helpful friendly staff.

Cons:

The lift is very small, but that is probably dictated by the design of an old building.
