Just back from four lovely days in Santiage staying at the Costa Vella. Location of this hotel is perfect, near enough to Cathederal and all the lovely little streets of the old town. We had just arrived from five days walking on the Camino and were ready for rest and relaxation. We found the staff here friendly and helpful..came to... more

I mean every word when I say it is the most hospitable and friendly hotel I have ever stayed in, anywhere in the world. It has much more the character of a British/Irish B&B than an impersonal hotel. Keep in mind that this hotel is located in one of the elder buildings of an old city, when considering things such... more

Plus: lovely garden, good breakfast, small reading area with good books, clean, central location, helpful tips from staff (good places to eat, hang out, etc) Minus: noisy and terribly creaky floors - we were given the room on the ground floor directly across the reception and main door. we had booked quite early and were surprised why we were given... more

My parents had a Queen room on the street side. First impressions were that the staff were fabulous. They were very patient with us being hopeless with... more

Bit hard to get a beer when... more

We stayed in a room with gallery for several nights in October of 2005 and loved everything about the place, particularly the terrific service described in so many reviews. Yes, there was some noise from the garden but who can complain about the gentle murmur of happy conversation and tinkling glasses, especially when it ends at a reasonable hour? This... more

Lovely hotel. I'd read all the reviews before I went, and couldn't believe that Costa Vella could really be so perfect, but it is. Ok, I suppose there are a few minor negatives that a couple of people have already mentioned, for example: noisy wooden floors; rooms maybe a bit on the small side by some people's standards; some street... more

Dish of sweets for us and 2 small bottles of water left for us each day was a nice touch. Location brilliant as you... more
