Traveler Reviews on Santiago de Compostela

Hotel Altair

5 of 5 stars
rio de janeiro
Aug 8, 2008

When I arrived at Santiago de Compostela I was coming from a stay at a four stars Barcelona hotel that was chosen as best luxury in 2007 (and again in 2008), which was a huge deception ( the very first one I had with tripadvisor recommendations) to find out that Hotel Altair was the one that deserved the title!!! Modern... more

Husa Universal

Aug 7, 2008

While the relative age of the Husa Universal shows somewhat in the public areas (lobby, lift etc) my room was comfortable and had an interesting, if not picturesque, view over a busy square. Noise could be an issue for some travellers, despite the double windows: but I always travel with ear plugs anyway. No WiFi or Internet access at all,... more

Hotel Costa Vella

5 of 5 stars
York, United Kingdom
Aug 2, 2008

We had a great 4 night stay at the Costa Vella. It's a small friendly hotel just on the edge of the old town, all the main sites are within easy walking distance. There is a lovely garden and bar at the back of the hotel. The room was small but very characterful, only minor down side was it was... more

Hotel Costa Vella

5 of 5 stars
Lytham St Annes, Lancashire
Jul 29, 2008

My wife & I used Trip Advisor to identify Costa Vella as our target hotel for a relaxing week's chill-out after our eldest daughter's wedding, and we were absolutely delighted. A 14-room, 3 floor hotel, it sits nice and quietly on the edge of the old town, but a mere 3 minute stroll from the Cathedral. We had what was... more

Meson Enxebre

5 of 5 stars
Bellegarde - France
Jul 23, 2008

Just looking to it you are afraid because the location (in the main square of Santiago, just in front of the Cathedral in the basement of the Hostal de los Reyes Católicos). You enter through a small door and you find this typical "meson" from Galicia. Here you can eat any kind of fresh fish and seafood together with a... more

Hotel Pombal

Jul 22, 2008

Stayed here in July 2008. Had a large, airy room at the back of the building on the top floor. The staff were lovely , it is a short walk from the cathedral and it was good value for money. more

Parador de los Reis Catolicos de Santiago de Compostela

Jul 20, 2008

This is a beautiful hotel, it may not be cheap, but how many hotels have this kind of history? It is in the perfect location, has helpful staff - beautiful courtyards, delicious straight forward food and is a true gem. It may be slightly tired - but Im glad it hasnt been attacked by interior designers armed with bolts of... more

Husa Universal

Jul 20, 2008

Even though the hotel has seen better days and would need some refurbishing, the room was clean and good value for money (53€/night). The location at the central Plaza de Galicia just five minutes from the historical center is excellent. We asked (and got) a room to the backyard, which was reasonably quiet. All in all its convenient place to... more

Hotel Costa Vella

5 of 5 stars
south-east england
Jul 17, 2008

Having just returned from a a rather poor experience in another country I feel compelled to write about this hotel, one of the best in which I have ever stayed and am sorry I did not publish a review before. The staff treated us like long lost family, they really could not do enough, so friendly and hospitable. The rooms... more

Husa Ciudad de Compostela

4 of 5 stars
Bolton, UK
Jul 16, 2008

This is a modern comfortable hotel just outside the historic centre. It’s a bit of a hike up to the old town but taxis are plentiful and cheap. Our room was fine and was comfortable enough for a couple of nights. It was at the front of the hotel and overlooked a fairly busy main road but we slept OK... more

NH Obradoiro

4 of 5 stars
West Yorkshire UK
Jul 16, 2008

We stayed here for 3 nights and found it well situated for Santiago which we found to be a lovely city with a great atmosphere. The hotel is modern and a little impersonal but the facilities were ok and we weren't bothered by noisy neighbours. The breakfasts which were included in our "deal" were excellent with plenty of choice. Beware... more

Pazo Cibran

Jul 15, 2008

Like other recent reviewers, we loved Pazo Cibran. The old house and setting are great. Our bedroom was nicely decorated and our bathroom had white fluffy towels, bathrobes, and lots of hot water. Breakfasts were good. The owner was a wonderful character. Her ability to communicate in a mix of Spanish, English and French made for a lot of fun... more

Jul 14, 2008

Great hotel. The rooms were nice and big and the breakfast was lovely. Rooms were clean and well equipped. The staff were helpful too and let us keep our room free of charge until 5pm on the day we were leaving. Great location - very central, within walking distance to all local attractions. Although we did not use the outdoor... more

Hotel Los Abetos

5 of 5 stars
Norwich
Jul 6, 2008

We spent 8 enjoyable days at Los Abetos at the end of June/ beginning of July 2008. We picked up a hire care at Santiago Airport and were in the hotel within 20 minutes, We find it difficult to fault the hotel. The bedrooms and bathrooms were large and spotlessly clean. There was a large flat screen television which was... more

San Francisco Hotel Monumento

Jul 6, 2008

Your hotel came highly recommended and I stayed with you overnight on Friday July 4th. Although I found the hotel itself and its amenities very impressive I have to express great disappointment with the service. On ordering a drink at the cafe/bar on arriving I found the waitress had poor English and finding a suitable wine was extremely difficult. I... more

1/1 found this review helpful

This 17th century country house affords the traveler a real treat--a taste of the countryside in Galicia, a leisurely Spanish breakfast, an impeccably clean room with grand bath, enchanting communal area, and a lovely lawn/garden. The proprietor not only helped us navigate the place after her friendly welcome, but spent almost an hour on her own computer, helping us find... more

Hotel Airas Nunes

Jun 25, 2008

We stayed here one night based on a recommmendation and having stayed at their sister hotel earlier on this trip. This is in the heart of Santiago and you could not ask for a better location. Our room was very comfortable and they had done a great job of renovating an old building to give it modern conveniences. We would... more

Hotel Virxe da Cerca

Jun 25, 2008

We had just completed the Camino de Santiago and needed a room for two days to relaxed. In the Santiago Tourist office they were able to get us a room at this wonderful hotel. Having been staying in refuges the last few weeks, this luxury was wonderful for us. They have a part of the hotel that is slightly older,... more

We only had a short stay of 3 nights here on our tour of northern spain but really enjoyed the relaxation and feel of pazo cibran. the owner micha spoke little english but really put some effort into trying to make the most out of our stay, with a little bit of my phrase book spanish thrown in for amusement... more

Hotel Horreo

Jun 24, 2008

We arrived at Santiago de Compostela without having booked anything, so we walked up the street and it was the first hotel that had a room available. 63 euros for a double room at last minute so we took it, and it was ideal. Superb location to the old town, comfortable beds and the bathroom was very good indeed. Cons... more
