Ava made our check in seamless and was so helpful sharing her knowledge of the city. The room was clean and well designed. We loved our balcony. The location is very walkable to the old city. We would definitely stay there again. Laura

Parador de Santiago de Compostela
Beautiful space absolutely with a Great breakfast too . Room was pleasant - although bed overly firm and the two pillows on my bed were super flat . Plaster in room could use some maintenance. Bathroom was surprisingly small ( room 119 ) with a shower tub combination that leaked a bit when shower ...

Hotel Praza Quintana
Excellent location next to the Cathedral. Lovely old building but modernized and well-maintained; clean and comfortable. A bit of luxury after a long Camino, including a tub to soak in! I would highly recommend staying here.
