The location in the historic district of Santiago de Campostela was perfect for exploring the area. The staff was so helpful in suggesting activities and dining options. They brought my luggage up to my room and back down, scheduled a taxi for me to get to the train station when I left, and were so kind to me. I would definitely stay here again.

There were not shampoo and soap in the dispenser, I had to call to claim them to bring some. Water went out of the shower, I had to use the towels to dry the flor. For price the room and bathroom are very small, also no coffe in the loby nor in the room. No closet for cloth - very uncomfortable for the price.
