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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff was very nice and helpful. Room was clean. However we were unable to sleep because of the rowdy noise that went on until 4;30 am.
The staff is wonderful and very accommodating. The hotel is just minutes away from the Compostela. The room is nicely decorated and the stone walls are reminiscent of this ancient city.
Centric. Close to the Cathedral and a great finish to the Camino.
But the real differentiator is the staff attentions. They guve all the info and recommendations you are looking for to get the most of your end goal when finishing the Camino de Santiago.
Really recommneded.
This pension was clean and the location very close to the cathedral. The staff was courteous and helpful.

The staff was terrific. Noise went on until 4:30 am in the streets and we did not sleep. University students carried on all night in the surrounding streets..be where of booking on a weekend.
Wonderful location and most hospitable and helpful owners available with anything you need.
My favorite accommodations so far on my trip through Portugal and Spain.
Wonderful staff. Great advice on where to buy artisanal cheese and fresh bread, and where to buy a coffee. Helpful with getting our luggage to our room, and helped us plan our travel to Sarria.
Nice guest rooms in a charming 14th? Century building in old town, only steps from the end point of camino de santiago. Staff was extremely helpful - did our laundry after we finished the camino (for free) and arranged taxis for us. Really enjoyed our stay.
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.
We had a perfect one night stay at Casa da Balconada. The location couldn't be better, the room was ideal, and Jose was the best host, dealing with every request quickly and helpfully. Highly recommended!
