Hotel vicini a Museo Granell a Santiago

We were booked into this hotel by Santiago Ways tour company. This was the final night of our Pilgrimage on the Coastal Portuguese Camino. It was by far the worst place we stayed! The room was tiny and faced onto the street; at night a street light shown into the room even with the metal privacy shutters down which constantly rattled with street traffic or even the wind; there was also a lot of street noise from vehicles and people. The walls were apparently thin as we heard people in the hallway (somewhat drunk and/or loud) in the early hours of the morning. The front desk was not manned 24hrs; after 8-9pm (I forget exact hour), the desk person left. The Wifi signal was horrible which made taking our ”guided COVID 19 test” very difficult. You had to squeeze around the toilet to close the door of the bathroom it was so small. Finally, we were supposed to receive a breakfast from this hotel but got nothing! The only positive was that we didn't find any obvious bugs or mold! If you want a low budget option with more privacy than a hostel, I suppose it's ok but for what we paid Santiago Ways for accommodations and meals, this was a total rip-off and a very disappointing way to end to our Pilgrimage.

This hotel claims to be a 4 star but at best it would be 2-3 stars. One of the lifts is always out of action and the other one often does not stop at your floor despite calling the lift. Given the hotel has about 9 floors you cannot walk up or down the stairs. The wifi is abysmal. Had to pay €60 per night to upgrade to a junior suite from a twin room. No TV in the living area but only in the bedroom where you have to lie on the bed to watch TV. There are no amenities provided in the bathroom and there are no coffee or tea making facilities. We asked for a kettle and we’re told to go to the restaurant. Did not even have a bottle of water in the room. Some of the equipment in the Gym did not work. For a supposed 4 star hotel there wasn’t a single luggage stand for 2 persons. Breakfast is pretty ordinary with very weak coffee from the machines. Hardly any fresh vegetables or lettuce at breakfast. Do not assume it is a 4 star hotel.

Yes - the hotel is one of smallest I ever seen. Yes, it's noisy. Yes, you can see some items dated. I have seen more expensive (much more) hotels with smaller rooms, more noisy and in worse condition. Yes. It has some limitations: there is no kitchen, no bar, no other amenities. Because of lack of the kitchen, breakfast is buffet only with no warm food. But everything is fresh i tasty. Don't expect any other meals though. Staff is friendly, nice and helpful. Location is excellent - close to public transport, close to old town, but not too close. Shops just outside and plenty of restaurants around. I would definitively use them again. Just one small thing: while wifi signal is decent, they should think of upgrading their internet connection, offered speeds would be sufficient in 2005, not in 2023. Had to switch to 4G to do anything.

Eravamo un gruppo di 16 pellegrini che camminava sul Camino portoghese. Finiremo il Camino in questo ostello per la sua tranquillità. È su una collina che potrebbe essere dura per i pellegrini feriti, ma vale la pena. Abbiamo avuto un incontro in cortile per arrampicarci il Camino. Era bello. Avevamo una stanza sola che viene con un bacino. C'è un mercato in fondo al piano terra con una caffetteria, una cucina piena e lussuosa.

Temo di non poter comprendere alcuni dei commenti negativi su questo hotel. Abbiamo appena tornato da soggiornare 4 notti per un matrimonio in città. Abbiamo avuto una camera superiore con un balcone nella parte antica, che era spaziosa. La nostra figlia aveva una camera doppia, non così spaziosa ma questo un vecchio hotel storico, non un Travel Lodge! L'hotel è per dormire, la città con centinaia di ristoranti in 10 minuti a piedi è per esplorare. L'aviario non è la mia cosa, ma mio marito l'amorevole e la pulizia è stata laggiù. Ci sono una sala internet gratuita e piccoli saloni per riposare se si vuole leggere tranquillamente e rimanere da l'attrezzatura per un po'. Il colazione è stata una scelta massiccia di frutta fresca, cereali, buffet caldo e freddo, torte e pasticceria - servizio autonomo mentre sedeva dentro o fuori. Sceglievamo fuori per vedere l'erba. Servito con aiuto da 7.30am a 11am. Il personale è molto amichevole e utile. Il check-out tardi è alle 12.00. Mantenete i bagagli mentre andiamo a pranzo e ci prenota un taxi all'hotel. Se siete un cibo, il mercato è a 2 minuti di distanza lungo la strada. Amazing seafood di tutti i tipi. Fortunatamente le dogane non hanno controllato i nostri bagagli e trovato tutti i pacchetti di corizo e di Serrano contenuti lì 🤣 Sicuramente consiglierei questo hotel e restare di nuovo.

Situazione molto conveniente vicino a Praza de Galicia, a piedi dal centro della città e la navetta all'aeroporto di Rúa do Horreo. Bello caffè sul pavimento. La reception è al primo piano. Istituzioni moderne e una camera molto pulita. Abbiamo avuto un balcone per poter godere dell'aria fresca da Santiago. Il bagno è molto spazioso e sono inclusi i bagni. Il letto è molto comodo e la TV è una buona dimensione, anche se non l'abbiamo usata.

Cute, charming property, however the service was HORRIBLE. The owner even screamed at me! We were a group of 12 people walking the Camino. The first person of my group arrived by herself, and they didn’t want to send her a taxi as it was promised on the reservation. They said that they don’t send taxis for just one passenger, and this client Sofia, had to wait two hours for her parents to join her, and then, the hotel sent the taxi. She was by herself two hours in a restaurant without knowing what to do. The booking company never informed us that in order to receive a taxi a minimum of guests was required. The waiter at the restaurant at dinner times was distracted, mixing orders, and trying to convince one of my clients that he can’t take a Martini and a glass of wine at the same time! One or the other! Who cares! If the client pays for both drinks, the waiter is nobody to be judging a client’s drinking behavior. One of the guests requested salt three times for French fries, with no results. He finally went to another table to ask other hotel guests for the salt they had in their table. And I can continue for hours describing the lack of professionalism in this place. We are all Spanish speaking, therefore no language barrier. The owner, as I said, he was very arrogant and uneducated. I was talking to him, standing by his table, while he was eating cheese and bread. He never stopped eating and/or invited me to the table, and/or standing so he can be talking to me at the same physical level (basic rules of education); I addressed the taxi situation in addition to the fact that they left my luggage into another client’s room, making this totally inappropriate for them and for me. Can you imagine if there was something missing from our suitcase? Who is responsible? Well, this man said that it was this client’s fault to “accept” these suitcases into their room. Unbelievable!! He was one of these persons “My way or the highway.” Rooms have no AC, no elevator, and no phones! I had one towel only for two guests, and when I was in the shower, I noticed it and there was no phone to call the receptionist. The shower gel dispenser was empty. The room was not clean. When I addressed these issues to the lady in the morning at checkout (I am suspicious that she was his wife) she just said “Vale” (Ok) No apologies, she was not surprised, and she mentioned that if I wanted another towel, I should have used my cellular. I replied that making an international phone call to request a towel was totally unthinkable. Last, we were “lucky” to have the owner driving us back to the Camino. He never opened us the door, or the trunk; never helped with our luggage; he was comfortable seated by the wheel all the time. And he drove us super-fast to intimidate us. Terrible! Stay away from this place.

Il Parador de Santiago de Compostela è uno splendido ed austero palazzo storico sede un tempo dei regnanti spagnoli e domina la piazza della Cattedrale. È un “museo” che illustra la vita dei re cattolici e lo sfarzo sostanziale ma contenuto di questa loro dimora, è visibile nelle parti comuni e nei saloni come, appunto, in un museo. La struttura possente ha quattro chiostri interni e un sotterraneo in cui è stato ricavato un suggestivo ristorante con volte in pietra e mattoni e finestre a livello piazza, ed un bistrot più informale. Visitare tutto il complesso rende più piacevole il soggiorno: i saloni, i chiostri, gli arredi…. Personale preparato e cortese senza essere invadente, ristorazione al top, parcheggio in struttura o in parking pubblico convenzionato, ad un tiro di schioppo dal Parador … e tanta, tanta magica atmosfera! Gruppi di Pellegrini festanti e vocianti, messa solenne a Ferragosto per la ricorrenza dell’Assunta… Paradores? Una garanzia! Noi ne abbiamo già sperimentato una ventina e, detto per inciso, quello di Santiago non è più caro di un hotel di lusso a Forte dei Marmi, con trattamento di mezza pensione… Pensateci!

We stayed 3 nights in one of the ”atico” rooms on the 4th floor. The location of this hotel is excellent. The staff is very friendly. We had a nice time here overall. I'm not a fan of slanted ceilings and did bump my head a couple times. The hotel room was very clean and daily housekeeping did a nice job. It was very nice of them to provide daily bottled water. The room was pretty spacious but not all areas were useful due to the slanted ceiling. I would have liked to have an extra chair or bench in the room, in the slanted areas, and also bathroom, to place personal items. Just a suggestion for improvement that would be fairly easy for the hotel. I would stay here again if I'm ever in Santiago again.
