Terrible value for money
Absolutely shocking value for money - really annoying to be given the worst rooms when you're travelling on your own Cleanliness left a lot to be desired - the bathroom bin was full with the previois guest's rubbish and the hair dryer was dirty, broken (with ancient sticky hair around it) and certainly not in presentable condition for hotel guests. Mattress and pillow reaally dated and uncomfortable. I have stayed in this hotel a few times due to its excellent location, but never again!!

Friendly staff. Room was decently spaced and very clean. Breakfast was good:). Quiet at night. No screens on the windows but maybe that’s a Spain thing? Not sure. Enjoyed the location! I’d go back.

We has a triple room. The room had enough space for us and our daughter of 17. She even had her own TV. Only one bathroom but toilet and shower in one room made it easy.

2/10 Poor

Santiago Hotel
Room had a very strong smell of paint or other chemical and furniture was covered of a fine dust (seems it was recently sanded and painted) but was not cleaned properly. Had to open the windows in the middle of the night to dissipate the strong odor. Additionally, the room was next to the dining room which was extremely noisy. Complained to reception personnel about the room odor and all they said was sorry. Not much of a solution. Very displeased with this hotel.

This is the second time we’ve stayed here after our Camino. It is close to all amenities and only a short walk to the Cathedral. We did have some issues with our room this time as the AC for the building was not on and our room was 27C. The staff that evening was helpful and did some troubleshooting. And when that did not work staff did change our room to a cooler room with cross breeze. Not everything always goes as planned but it is in those moments staff can make a difference and they absolutely did. That goes a long way. We will be back.

Very convenient, simple, clean room in the center of Santiago de Compostela. I arrived before check-in and left my luggage with the front desk staff while I went out. Then I got my key a little early once the room was ready. It was a good experience.
