Pros:

Tutto! A Santiago de Compostela, un Parador a fianco alla Cattedrale.
Un palazzo immenso, pieno di opere d'arte. Andate per credere. Perché noi in Italia non abbiamo i Paradores - palazzi d'epoca gestiti dallo Stato a prezzi assolutamente ragionevoli il vero lusso accessibile - come in Spagna.
250 euro per una doppia a Ferragosto!!!

Cons:

Di non aver prenotato più giorni qui

We first went to the parador 20 years ago and it is even better now
Pros:

Everything

Cons:

It was a shame that the main dining room was fully booked. Notice of the need to book in advance would be good

Pros:

Jó helyen abszolút a központban van. Évszázados falak, különleges helyszín. Készséges személyzet, bő választék reggeli.

Cons:

Kissé recsegett a padló. Kerekes volt az ágy, de kopott volt a fék, néha elgurult a fejtámlától.

It is a beautiful hotel in an exceptional location. But 4 Star hotel, not 5.
Pros:

Staff were very attentive and helpful. The location is excellent for visiting the old town and cathedral areas.

Cons:

A nespresso type coffee machine in the room would be better than the cheap instant offering. In every other hotel we stayed in during our trip, complimentary drinking water was provided every day, but not in this hotel, only on the first day. In my opinion the location makes this a 5 Star hotel, but it just lacks the final touches to make it so, I would rate it a 4 Star hotel.

Beautiful hotel with lots of history in a very central location for exploring Santiago. It is lacking some of the amenit
Pros:

Beautiful historic building with many cloisters. Really lovely service in the courtyard bar. Breakfast was decent with a large variety of options. Helpful staff at reception. Concierge. Rooms and bathrooms were of a decent size and clean.

Cons:

5 star hotel yet no coffee machine in the room. Instant coffee only. Perhaps over- priced
