Really good place. It is as small hotel, family room takes whole loft level. Lift goes directly to this room, but is not nosiy. The room is clean, cozy, stylish and comfy. It is a single space but kids bedroom zone is tucked away. Bathroom is small but modern, and the shower is warm. Breakfast room is accessible 24/7 for tee and coffee. Breakfast itself was delicious, rich and diverse. Some local pastries were offered too. Nice central location. Cheap bus from airport. Super friendly staff.

Location is central, so that on a Saturday night we could hear some noise from people drinking somewhere nearby. It did not affect our sleep, but be warned if you are a very light sleeper.

It is a cozy little hotel; everything looks brand new. The staff are very friendly. They provide free umbrellas which are much needed in the often rainy weather. The location is perfect - close to everything but on a quiet street. I liked the fact that it is not in the middle of the old town, so it is easier to reach by public transportation (or by taxi). The breakfast - freshly squeezed orange juice is a big plus. They also have juice, coffee, pastries, bread, cheese, ham, some fruit and yogurt. Adding eggs would make it almost perfect.

There are a few minor things that could be improved, but none would stop me from booking this hotel again. The corridor light is controlled by a motion detector, which takes a few seconds to activate, leaving me in the dark occasionally. The pillows weren't very comfortable, though I didn’t request replacements. There is only one power socket near the bed, so I had to choose between charging my phone and using the night lamp. A few additional coat hangers near the door would be helpful, especially when coming in with a wet coat.

Breakfast was continental; simple and delicious (orange juice was squeezed when you asked for o.j.) Separation between the 2 twin beds and the queen bed allowed for some privacy. Location is above the Cathedral, so the walk toward the Cathedral and City Center was on a downward slope.

Room was on the top floor with varying slopes of the ceiling; need to mind the ceiling, especially if you're tall. With the incline of Santiago de Compostela with the City Center being at the bottom of the incline, we would walk up the incline to return to the B&B. However, we opted to grab a very affordable taxi to bring us around and back up.

* The hotel's ideal location, situated close to both the city center and Santiago's historic core, offered convenient access to explore the vibrant surroundings. * Each morning, breakfast greeted us with a delightful array of sweets and cakes, showcasing a different local selection daily—a tasty treat to start the day. * The rooms exuded a cozy tranquility, providing a peaceful retreat from the bustling city outside. * Simple gestures like providing umbrellas at the entrance made a significant impact, enabling us to venture out even during unexpected stormy weather, a thoughtful touch that enhanced our stay.

* Breaksfast was great, but it needs a bit more attention from a member of the staff. Often, the juice jar was empty, and I had to crush the oranges myself 😆. No problem at all with that, but I found intrusive using their kitchen and their appliances myself.

We enjoyed a typical Spanish breakfast—nothing fancy, but very tasty with high-quality ingredients. The room was just what we needed, especially traveling with three young children. The location is perfect, only a 5-minute walk from Santiago Cathedral. We arrived late after the reception was no longer manned, but we were given really clear instructions and even told where to park, which made everything so easy. I’d strongly recommend this B&B/micro hotel to anyone!

Nothing to note.

Excellent location, the room was very clean and comfortable, the staff was accommodating, the shower was great, the bed was comfortable. The hotel was quiet, and even though it is centrally located, the outside noise was minimal to none. Our room was cleaned/tidied every day. Conveniently, there is a parking garage about 2 blocks from the hotel and many shops, market and bars/restaurants all a short walking distance away.

We liked everything about it.

Good, hot breakfast. Begonia (that's how my sisters called her) served us fresh orange juice. Coffee and tea all day. Rooms very clean and beds comfortable. My sisters enjoyed their triple room which is accessed by the elevator, and their motorized scooters (w/c) was safely parked in the front office. Very nice and friendly staff, Begonia even came out to say goodbye to all of us in the rain. If we ever come your way again, you are the place to go to. Thank you!!

None.

I arrived here wet and exhausted from my last day of walking the camino. I was welcomed warmly. The hotel was clean, quiet. Most importantly, the receptionist was amazingly warm and helpful. My two pieces of warm clothing- fleece and coat was soaked and she very kindly tumble dried my fleece so that i could go out that evening for dinner. I felt so fragile this day and she just helped me when i needed it- i felt very blessed. It is located right next to the airport shuttle- very very helpful!! 30min 1euro- perfect! Opposite is mama peixe - the best restaurant in santiago.

Great location, comfortable bed, excellent shower and excellent continental breakfast. Really hard to believe the rating of this place since it is way above the standard I would expect for 1 thumbs up.

Reception was not manned when we got there which meant we could not get access to B&B at all. Pushing the buzzer did not work either. I called the number on the booking and somebody came then. A note on the door indicating what to do when there is no one there during checking in hours would be great. Apart from that - loved the place.

The hotel had a nice lobby area snd we were allowed to leave our bags and go have lunch because we were too early to check in. When we returned our bags were already taken to our room. The gentleman at the reception was also kind yo order us a taxi for the next morning as we had an early flight out. The room was nice, the bed comfortable with good lighting. The bathroom and shower were spacious with a fair amount of shelf space to rest toiletries and had enough hooks for towels.

The heating was fixed st 24°C which wasn’t too bad but it would have been nice to have the room a bit warmer. Still the temp was warmer than other places we stayed.
