Great location on Rua do Franco within walking distance of train/bus stations and the university, the great Parque Alameda and of course the cathedral -- probably 7-10 minute walk. Dozens of bars and restaurants within the area. But the street level of this Hostal has a wine bar and restaurant that is very good, without the tourist vibe of most of the rest of the street. Excellent staff and creative food, including a well-priced tasting menu. Loved it. The room was very nice, great bed and super shower and thick, fluffy towels. Has a mini-fridge, a one shot coffee/tea maker and large TV. Shuttered windows open onto the often busy street. For a fairly hopping Friday/Sat stay it was quiet after 11pm. Just a very homey, comfortable quality spot.

Todos es bueno ..

Located right in the heart of Santiago on a busy pedestrian street - right next to the Santiago Cake shop. Despite this, the room was quiet at night, once all the shutters had been shut.

Small double bed. Room is big enough to accommodate a larger bed.

The cleanliness, charming and modern decor lending to its welcoming atmosphere. And the owner/manager as well as the staff were also helpful and very friendly.

What could have been better? Maybe change the flooring. The other guest who was staying on the floor above us and directly over our room came back at 1:20am and whatever he/she was doing, walking from one end of the room to the other was audible almost palpable. This went on for a good hr. Then noise from hotel restaurant guests in the ground floor as well as nearby restos were also noisy past 12pm. The staff who eventually left late past midnight kept trying to punch in the code to lock up and the noise just kept on. I am unfortunately a light sleeper so a slight noise eventually wakes me up.

The location is fantastic, very close to the cathedral. Big room, clean, easy entry. The staff wer friendly and gave us necessary directions and accomodated special requests. Our room was also surprisingly quiet in the evening despite the guest house being in a middle of the old town street busy with tourists.

It's not really a hostel (is this some kind of trick with "hostal" in the name?), rather individual apartments. There is no common space for the guests and no kitchen. Some of the photos were misleading as they showed some couches - but the couch was just another bed in our room.

This was my 6th time in Santiago, and I’ve stayed at various hotels in the old town after walking the Camiño - but this one is the best! It’s incredibly central, yet surprisingly quiet after midnight. The room had air conditioning, which I really appreciated since it was quite chilly during my stay. I loved the minimalistic yet comfortable interior, the perfect location, smooth communication, and the thoughtful touch of umbrellas available to borrow. Highly recommend.

Nothing

Friendly communication via WhatsApp, easy access via door codes, clean room, two umbrellas available, soap and blow dryer. Central location, therefore the noise is to be expected. Earplugs were kindly supplied! Water, juice in the fridge, coffeemaker (didn´t use it).

The odour of the floor detergent was literally breathtaking for more than one day. One more blanket would be nice as there were two separate beds. Expensive - priced like a hotel but without the amenities.

This Hostal is located only a 5 minute walk from the Cathedral in an area full of restaurants and bars - what a perfect location! Our large two-bed room was spacious and had very comfortable beds and linen. Having air conditioning was wonderful! This was the most comfortable and luxurious of any accommodations we experienced on the entire Camino, and at a reasonable price. We plan to use this facility when we next visit Santiago de Compostela.

Located in a great part of town lots of activity and restaurants close by, 10 minute walk to the cathedral. This hostel doesn’t have breakfast, but the owners were kind enough to put a muffin and some orange juice in the fridge for me!

The rooms are located above a bar and on a busy pedestrian street and it gets pretty noisy until late. Had a hard time sleeping. I did appreciate how the owners put a mask and earplugs in the room. It certainly helped!

This place is so well located! It’s just a short walk to the cathedral and there are loads of restaurants along the street. It felt good to be right in the center of things. Even though there were a lot of people walking by and talking I didn’t find it to be too loud. I slept without earplugs or an eye mask. The hostess was very friendly and allowed us to store our bags on the property after we’d checked out while we were exploring the city.

There was nothing wrong with this place. It was perfect!

The hotel was easy to find. We did not receive the code for the door until after we had arrived at the hotel so a worker at the shop downstairs had to let us in. It was clean, comfortable, and very well done. The location was very central, but that was also the problem.

Because of the location, it was very noisy at night and hard to get to sleep. People were yelling in the street until the early hours of the morning. To be fair, I think that it was a holiday weekend.
