Santiago de Compostela hotels

Pros: The bed is the most comfortable one I have slept on in a month

Pros: Beautiful room and a great breakfast. Perfect location.

Pros: The location was perfect, but the staff and the breakfast were the best. The facilities were great, modern, yet stylish. The friendly staff helped us and answered all our questions.

Cons: None

Pros: Perfect location. Staff really nice and helpful

Pros: Modern, spacious

Cons: Very noisy - you can hear between the rooms

Pros: The location was perfect, close to everything & East walks to sights.The rooms were clean, neat but no artwork on white walls, felt a little monastic. Otherwise great place to stay!

Cons: Breakfast was very limited to breads, jams, meats & cheese, cereal & yogurt. Wish they would have offered boiled eggs or other protein alternatives.

Cons: That I didn’t get to stay longer

Pros: Loved the hotel! Staff was super nice

Cons: Walls a bit thin and in the morning we could hear our neighbors as if they were in the same room as us

Pros: Everything was just excellent. We had two wonderful dinners and the place is more like a country house than an hotel

Pros: Fantastic location, beautiful scenery and overall lovely place to stay. However, our room was at the bottom of a steep cobbled slope and my mother was unable to walk up or down it. So we used the car to go 100m to breakfast and dinner. Also some quite treacherous steps to get to dinner. So .... if mobility not an issue the definitely recommend.

Pros: Lovely quiet location and surroundings set in the middle of forests but handy for visit to Santiago. Very good meals on the whole in very atmospheric setting. The chef attended each table and talked to the diners about the menu, quite unusual but appreciated.

Pros: very nice place with great view

Cons: dinner is too late

Pros: Fabulous, beautiful place, spectacular location, stunningly beautiful room and facilities, exceptionally well renovated, great sauna, great restaurant and bar - everything was great!

Pros: An absolutely beautiful estate out in the country yet only 15 mins by car to Santiago. Very accommodating. Dog friendly with spacious areas for pups to run and play. Breakfast and dinner available on-site.

Cons: Dinner being served at 9PM, just too late for us. The one night we did attend dinner it was delicious and the chef prepared a special vegetarian meal just for me. Would have attended dinner every night if it were earlier.

Pros: Wonderful hotel: great location and you cannot find better hosts. Even the dogs took their jobs very seriously: they politely welcomed us at the parking area and guided us to the reception :-) Don't miss the dinner, it is exceptionell. A big thank you!

Pros: Setting and food are amazing

Cons: Nothing not to like

Pros: Beautiful old monastery, great staff and the location is perfect

Pros: Breakfast selection was very good, and the location was ideal. Three minute walk to the Cathedral, but set apart from pedestrian traffic. I have completed two Caminos and this was where I have stayed for a much needed celebratory rest!

Cons: Service at the restaurants was lacking. Although the servers did their best, they were clearly understaffed, especially when large groups were present.

Pros: Of all the hotels I stayed at during my Camino, the San Francisco was the best. You are treated with so much hospitality that you feel like being part of a family!

Pros: Lovely old monastery 1 minute walk from the cathedral. Spacious room in good order with a comfortable bed, a reasonable shower and twin sinks. Very pleasant and helpful staff. Reasonable rate, all things considered. Would definitely stay here again.

Cons: TV was a bit small given how far it was from the bed. Pricing was somewhat similar to the slightly more upmarket parador in the Cathedral square. But these are very minor points.

Pros: Was close to everything

Cons: Room smelt like stale musty water

Pros: Everything !

Cons: Nothing !

Pros: The food was excellent. The restaurant serves exquisite meals and our waiter Jorge went the extra mile to inform, present recommendations and take extra steps to make our celebration extra special. Maria serving at the less formal bar was also very helpful and made us feel at home and enjoy our stay. Excellent breakfast. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. The bed was very comfortable, the rooms very clean. The grounds were lovely to walk around, especially beside the river. Sitting beside the open log fire in the lounge / library was a very pleasant way to end the evening.

Pros: Homely, good food and spa

Cons: Jus a little out of town

Pros: The bedroom was lovey and well equipped

Cons: I wish there were more healthier options on the food menus

Pros: Stayed here after walking the Camino de Santiago for six weeks and it seemed like Heaven. Total luxury and comfort. The staff was outstanding, especially Sandra, who always went "above and beyond" to ensure a great customer experience. My room was spacious, the mattress excellent, and the bathroom clean and modern. Optional breakfast buffet in their cafe included scrambled eggs and bacon! Location just a few minutes away from the cathedral was great.

Pros: The hotel is in an excellent location, just metres from the Cathedral. So it was perfect for Camino walkers. The hotel staff were wonderful - very friendly and incredibly helpful with suggestions, bookings, etc. Our room was delightful and the bed and pillow were the best we had slept in on this trip.

Cons: There’s nothing to dislike: it’s a wonderful place.

Pros: Staff was so kind and pleasant and genuinely willing to assist! My single room was the perfect size to just relax and the bathroom and room was extremely tidy.

Pros: The staff were very welcoming. The hotel is located very near to the historic area and next to a very beautiful garden. Rooms are very well furnished and kept spotlessly clean.

Cons: Toilet seat cover flopped against my back. But otherwise excellent bathroom with nice shower and good products

Pros: The room was comfortable and quite spacious. The location is excellent.

Pros: Excellent breakfast, best I have had in Spain. Extremely friendly and helpful receptionist, including helping to get laundry washed. Would definitely recommend.

Pros: Very cool rooms! They even have coins on the stone walls of the rooms, as traditional Santiago offerings. Also perfect location to get the airport bus, in the nearby plaza de galicia.

Pros: Room was clean and big. Cooking facilities for when your fed up with eating out. She had provided newspaper for drying boots. Dehumidifier to deal with damp clothes after a rainy day. She was just lovely. Thumbs up.

Cons: Goody bags were a nice touch but some walkers had thrown them away later on the camino. Would have been great even without the goody bag.

Pros: This was a fantastic stay in Santiago de Compostela for my husband & I at the completion of our 14-day Camino! The hotel is conveniently located in the historical downtown area (near the edge where the business/downtown area begins, but still within the historical streets & a few minutes' walk to the Cathedral & shops/restaurants/museums. It is also conveniently located about 10 min. easy walk to the train station, which we had to take back to Madrid. Located on the 3rd level of the building, there is elevator or stair access from a nice quiet lobby (the rest of the building seemed to be residential apartments?). The reception area of Mapoula is very nicely decorated with warm but modern décor, with a seating area around the reception desk, & then a dining area & kitchen/breakfast buffet area around the corner. Everything was very clean. Included in our stay was the continental breakfast buffet (it would have been well worth the 4€ I think it was listed separately for anyway): there is a selection of pastries & cakes (apple, Santiago/almond?, meats & cheeses, soft boiled eggs, yogurts, cereals, fresh fruit, etc. available at the buffet. They bring you fresh squeezed orange juice & a basket of freshly toasted breads & croissants to your table. The mugs for hot tea & coffee are in a heated carousel. Everything was immaculately clean & service was great. The only very slight negative here was they only put a small amount of fresh fruit out. My husband wanted a banana but the second day noticed someone had taken the last (only?) one (& actually ended up not finishing it!)...to their credit we didn't ask them for more, & perhaps they would have brought more out if we did. Our room was just off the reception area, through an extra door/small entry area, along with another room. The lighting was automatic & bright, which I love (some hotels are so dark & dim). In the room, everything was very modern, yet cozy (love the one stone accent wall). There was air conditioning & recessed ceiling/behind the bed lighting. The bathroom was larger than most we had stayed at throughout our Camino (we stayed in hostals & pensions, not albergues!) & everything was immaculate, comfortably decorated, great water pressure/heat in the shower, lighting overhead as well as the vanity area, etc. (Here the one small negative was their towels, white medium/large bath towels with Mapoula stiched/printed across the bottom in red letters, were a little old. You could see the fraying begin around the edges of the ones we had day 1 & 3 of our stay. Day 2 the towels they gave us were a little newer. Everything was very clean, though.) Our room window had 2 layers of shutters, inside sheer curtains & outside automatic shutters (as are customary in Spain). There were no views since we were close to other buildings, but being on the 3rd level, we could see across the small pedestrian alley to a rooftop & no windows directly across. Also, laundry service was a plus!

Pros: It's clean and quiet, The room was big and had enough room. The staff was helpful and friendly. It's near public transportation also.

Pros: Rooms were modern and stylish. Shower was powerful with tons of hot water. The property is in a great location to access all that Santiago de Compostela has to offer. Plenty of choice for breakfast, with freshly squeezed orange juice every morning, what's not to like

Cons: There wasn't anything I didn't like

Pros: Centrally located and within 2 minutes walk from the bus stop. Room is clean and quiet. Bathroom is small but clean.

Cons:

Cons:
