The room was very comfortable and was in a good location and near parking which you had to pay for at an additional cost but good price, I would recommend. If you are travelling by car I would advise to park the car first and then go to the hotel because you cannot go infront of the hotel with your car but it is in walking distance.

Very good location but did think it was overpriced. Be cautious booking on the weekend. I am not a light sleeper at all and was kept awake until 4am with the nightlife.

I liked that the location of the hotel was less than a 5 minute walk from the cathedral, and the nostalgia of the property was pleasant. The biggest complaint of this property is that our room and several others ware located above a bar that had extremely loud clientele, so we were kept awake until well after 4 am with all the noise. Considering that we just walked 500 miles across Spain we just wanted some good rest before we moved on. This hotel is not a place for those seeking R&R after completing the Camino.
