Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was super quiet and very comfortable, with a reasonable shower and twin sinks, although it was a little cold with no way to alter the temperature. The service was extremely friendly and helpful with the added convenience of on-site parking. The location was excellent, very central and dignified, providing a good base. The dining experience was plentiful without the need to sign up for a buffet breakfast.
The hotel offers large, super clean, and well-appointed rooms with lovely historic features, situated in a very central location perfect for exploring Santiago de Compostela. The dining experience is very good with a nice selection of options, though it may be a little overpriced. The service is helpful but could be more friendly at times.
The hotel is a little small but well-appointed and roomy. The service was very friendly and helpful. The location is superb, near the center of the old city and close to major attractions. The dining experience was poor, with cold selections not worth the money. The facilities are basic.
The hotel is perfectly located near the Cathedral and the heart of the city, making it convenient for pilgrims on the Camino. The rooms offer a blend of comfortable amenities including a bar fridge and cozy beds, although they share space with the grand church and monastery areas, creating a somewhat overwhelming vibe. The service is attentive, with staff proud to assist guests, but there were limited services like valet and room service. The location is ideal for exploring the vibrant streets, although some signage could be improved to avoid confusion. The dining experience, despite a good breakfast, might benefit from a greater variety of healthy options at a more reasonable price. The facilities are adequate but could use some enhancements to meet higher standards.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and quiet, providing a peaceful retreat within the opulent monastery surroundings. The service was friendly, efficient, and very helpful. The location was perfect, just a short walk from the Cathedral and surrounded by charming streets. The dining experience was enjoyable with a nice selection. However, dining wasn't included in the price. Overall, a great value for money with fantastic facilities.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were massive and extremely comfortable, although the bathroom in our bedroom was a bit small. The atmosphere was a bit dark, but overall a very nice stay.
