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.

Great place but could do with more staff or better service.
Pros:

Great location, beautiful rooms

Cons:

Unfortunately the service was not what I would expect from a Paradore. We went to the bar to have drinks and a simple meal. After our initial service the staff were not there. A customer waited at the bar for a long time before shouting to kitchen staff who then found a waitress. She served him and left again. We got tired of waiting so left and went to a local restaurant. Maybe a small complaint but when I pay 500 euros a night I expect more. The service is not at the level it should be. It is letting the Paradore brand down.

Muy caro para lo que ofrece el hotel
Pros:

El desayuno

Cons:

Las amenidades de los baños estaban las cajitas desocupadas. Del techo caía un polvito sobre la cama del techo. No se si eran termitas o humedad o que. Realmente lo único que me pareció excelente fue la ubicación y la atención de los empleados. No tiene pantuflas ( y es 5 estrellas). No tiene spa, ni piscina, ni jacuzzi. Debido a la cantidad de gente uno tiene que avisar desde la noche anterior a que hora va a desayunar porque es por turnos..... por todo esto me parece que el Hotel está sobrevalorado

Superior single bed for 2
Pros:

Historical hotel full of history. A must stay hotel when completing the Camino. Staff friendly. Spacious superior room with seating area and view over old cloister. Good sized bathroom equipped for 2 person use (double shower+basins). Very good breakfast (however service slow when ordering cooked food)

Cons:

Booked the advertised "Superior DOUBLE room" (not a twin) and specifically requested a double bed, but received 2 singles pushed together. At the time of booking the hotel must know the rooms that will be available with single beds, and which with a double, and advertise them accordingly. Poor customer consideration.

Schönes Hotel in der besten Lage; enttäuschender Frühstücks"service"
Pros:

Die Lage ist toll, direkt am Platz der Kathedrale. Das Personal an der Rezeption sehr freundlich und professionell. Auch die Halle, in der ich etwas getrunken habe, war sehr nett, Service war gut. Das Zimmer ist mit sehr viel Holz, eben alles alt, eingerichtet. Die Sessel waren daher durchgesessen und unbequem. Das Zimmer insgesamt dunkel durch die schweren Holztüren usw.. Das Bad neu und schön, mit Dusche und Badewanne. Auch das Bett war sehr gut. Es war eigentlich sehr ruhig, nur spielte der Dudelsackspieler so lange am Abend, dass es gestört hat beim frühen Einschlafen. Insgesamt ein schönes Hotel, aber eher keine 5 Sterne.

Cons:

Das Essensangebot beim Frühstück war ok. Das Verhalten der Dame beim Frühstück war jedoch unangemessen. Als einige Gäste, ich auch, bereits einige Minuten vor 7 Uhr im Raum waren (Tür war offen, alles war fertig, kein Mensch zu sehen), herrschte sie Gäste an, sie mögen sofort den Raum verlassen und bis 7 Uhr draußen warten . Sie hat mit den Gästen gesprochen, als seien es Kinder in einer Jugendherberge. Die Dame gar kein passendes Verhalten für diese Hotelkategorie und passt einfach da nicht hin. Kaffee wird ungefragt in einer Kanne auf den Tisch gestellt wie in einer billigen Frühstückspension. Ich fand das alles unangebracht und es ist auch unüblich. Für mich alles unangenehm und unschön. Sie hat nicht gefragt, was ich gern hätte, gar nichts. Um alles musste ich mich selbst kümmern: Entkoffeinierter Kaffee usw.. Also, das Frühstück fand ich eine große Enttäuschung; es passte gar nicht zum Auftreten des Hotels in den anderen Bereichen.
