The room was lovely, with a King sized bed, a desk, and a separate sitting area with a small sofa. The view from the Velux windows overlooking the rooftops and countryside was fantastic. However, there was a slight cigarette smell lingering in the room.

The location couldn't have been better - near the old town yet remarkably quiet. I appreciated the recommendations to explore the city on foot and use the bus instead of a taxi to get to the airport. The proximity to Yves Rocher and the airport bus drop-off point was very convenient.

My stay was fantastic! The hotel room was actually next door to the main building on the ground floor of a small apartment block but had the advantage of a private courtyard, giving me a quiet and enclosed space. The room itself was cozy, well-lit, and comfortable, though not overly spacious. I loved the small balcony with a lovely French door, the bright and airy atmosphere, comfortable beds, quality linens, and the beautiful bathroom stocked with generous toiletries.

The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Santiago, just a short walk from the Cathedral de Santiago de Compostella. The rooms offer comfortable beds, excellent quiet air conditioning, and spacious bathrooms, though the low headroom in the sitting area may be a bit compromising. The service is exceptional with attentive staff who go above and beyond without even being asked, making the stay truly enjoyable. The dining experience is of high quality but can be a bit pricey compared to local cafes. Overall, a great value for the money in a quiet yet central location.
