Guest Reviews
- Sabrina (10/5): - Wirklich außergewöhnlich nettes und zuvorkommendes Personal! Wir haben 2 sehr gute Tipps zum Abendessen und Frühstück erhalten. Uns wurde sogar die nasse Wäsche zum Trocknen abgenommen, da wir sie nicht in einen Trockner geben wollten. Auch die sehr schnelle und einfache Kommunikation hat uns wirklich sehr geholfen und gefallen! Trotz belebter Altstadt konnten wir sehr gut schlafen! Nächstes Mal auf jeden Fall wieder im Casa da Balconada!! Vielen Dank für diesen super Aufenthalt!
- Rachel (10/5): - Comfortable, great location and the staff are top notch.
- NORMA (10/5): Ubicación excelente para recorrer Santiago de Compostela - La ubicación y la atención del personal Hay escaleras. Aunque subieron nuestras valijas
- Grandval (9/5): - Hotel trés près de la Cathédrale et dans la vielle ville
- William (10/5): Right in the middle of all activities. - Very centrally located next door to the cathedral. Many dining options close by. Small rooms and bathrooms, but this is to be expected given the location of the hotel.
- Raffaello (9/5): Complimenti per come è tenuta bene la struttura, anche nei dettagli. - Staff molto gentile e pulizia ottima, sono due fattori molto importanti. nulla
- PRIMOZ (10/5): -
- Roy (10/5): - The location is amazing, the staff super friendly and helpful, and everything was clean and comfortable. The room is a bit small but it didn't really matter because all the rest was perfect.
- Schepermann (10/5): Super Lage, sauber und sehr unkompliziert - Tolle Zimmer in bester Lage nahe der Kathedrale. Der Kontakt war gut aber "leider" nur über WhatsApp. Ich hatte ein Zimmer um dritten Stock. Nach einem langen camino tut jede Treppenstufen etwas weh was natürlich ohne Aufzug dann anstrengend wird. Davon abgesehen alles super.
Würde definitiv wieder kommen und dann nach einem Zimmer mit weniger Treppen fragen 😄
- Marcelo (9/5): -
- Josefina (10/5): -
- Patti (8/5): Great Location - Tiny room but great location close to cathedral and restaurants. Staff was very friendly and helpful! Room and bathroom were very small but location made up for it.

- Riitta (9/5): -
- Horst (10/5): - Gute Lage! Freundliches Personal
- Marita (10/5): Toppenläge, funkade bra med bil. - Läget kunde inte vara bättre, precis vid den stora Katedralen. Hotellet var litet och mycket trevligt. Vi kom med bil och den kunde vi parkera i ett parkeringsgarage bara 5 minuter från hotellet (18,5€/dygn.
Frukost åt vi alldeles vid stora torget. Det fanns inte någon hiss, men det fanns inte heller någon plats att installera en på.
- Ismael (8/5): - Limpieza magnífica
- dqueve (10/5): Un dia en Santiago - El lugar, su ubicación y acceso. La amabilidad en el trato, con consejos y sugerencias, ayuda en el movimiento de equipajes, en fin, un trato superior que siempre logra mejorar una instalación muy linda y cómoda. Todo es muy lindo y cómodo.
- Marianne (8/5): Prima plek , dicht bij de kathedraal. - Prima plek in Santiago, dicht bij de kathedraal. Goed bed. Vriendelijke staf. De kamer was klein. De douche ook. Alles werkte wel prima.
- Gemma (7/5): -
- anna (10/5): - Tutto, ci tornerò
- Kimberly (10/5): Wonderful reward to myself after the Camino - beautiful room and view and ideal location! - The location is perfect and the room was lovely and full of light. My only nitpicky thing is that I didn't realize that right after I checked in, all the staff were going to go home, so I wasn't able to casually ask questions after checking in. That said, the staff did WhatsApp me with restaurant suggestions, etc. and I was able to ask questions that way.
- Alfredo (8/5): very nice place to stay - The stuff attention was super. The cold water was warm.
- Philip (10/5): - A great find and great location in the old town. Our room on the 3rd floor was nicely finished and bright with great rooftop views. The rooms are fairly small as you would expect in these old buildings but it was well laid out. It's run by a great couple who really go the extra mile to make sure guests are looked after. Loads of places for breakfast nearby. 100% we'll stay here again on our next Camino! Nothing
- Krista (10/5): Jose and Caren were so wonderful! Very helpful and kind! - Great location, clean, well staffed! Rooms were comfortable and the shower was great! The stairs are beautiful but a little difficult to go up.

- Juana Maria (10/5): Centrico y muy comodo. La habitación es pequeña pero muy bonita y confortable - Muy centrico . Decoracion moderna. Todo nuevo. Muy limpio . Muy amables en recepción No hay nada que no me haya gustado

- Örjan (10/5): Mycket trevligt! - Efter vandring på El Camino var det fantastiskt att landa på detta trevliga hotell med bra läge. Hotellet drivs av en mycket trevlig familj som tog emot oss med varmt bemötande. Kommunikation på engelska fungerade bra. Vi fick extra service med att tvätta kläder. Vi är supernöjda.

- Fabio (10/5): La mejor opción en Santiago - El trato del personal y la limpieza del alojamiento. Todo estaba perfecto, nada de lo que quejarse.
- Luis (9/5): - Ubicación inmejorable , todo muy nuevo , amabilidad del personal , . Gustar me gusto todo , por poner algun pero seria la dificultad en ducharse y no se salga el agua fuera del recinto al tener mampara pequeña , pero es un detalle .

- Nicole (9/5): -
- Ionela (10/5): - Central location, host was very polite and communicative, room was clean, price was very good for a central location
- DitsieBetsie (7/5): - Very friendly staff and can speak English. Excellent location close to cathedral and many restaurants and shops and laundry etc. Clean and neat. No coffee or tea included no kettle in room. Very small room for 2 people. Good for 1 night but not great for longer stay - too small. Bathroom very small also. Mattresses probably needs an upgrade too soft.
- dominique (9/5): - Los 3 pisos x escalera
- Marta (10/5): - The best hotel in our 13 day trip to Compostela. Perfect location, you can hear bells from Cathedral. Stuff is really a hero - they bring our luggages to room, told us that way to bus station is down (it was perfect location after long way), put all information to the map, said where we can do certification. Especially Karla was amazing - she is really soul of the place, helpful, doing 200% and spreading happiness. Best regards to ger and this guy. Love!

- Tinghui (10/5): - Service was friendly, and any questions received prompt responses. I highly recommend staying here at the end of the Camino de Santiago.
- Eduardo (7/5): - Good location. Clean. On the smaller side. One of the windows doesn't properly close and you can hear people talking or shouting in the street. Students were finishing exams and I had to sleep with earplugs.

- Myriam (10/5): -
- Luis Miguel (10/5): - El detalle que hicieron por mí me encantó
- Gustavo (8/5): Lovely place. - It si a place to take a break. The size of the rooms is very small but with a nice decoration and very clean.
- JoaoTMDias (8/5): Very close to the city center and with good room - It's super close to the cathedral! And the room was warm and very cosy. Also the hotel has a discount for the nearest parking, which cuts down the daily price a little bit. The closest parking is a bit far (I mean 5 min walking, so for us it wasn't a bit deal, but it might be for someone using canes or in a wheelchair). But this isn't the hotel's fault, at all. Old city centers have this problem so we were kind of prepared for that.
- Gonzalo (10/5): -
- Silvia Andreia (8/5): Boa e confortável - Boa localização
- Raymond (10/5): -
- Vidyaykina (7/5): A bit pricey for the small room but clean and comfortable. - It was clean and newly renovated. Nice sheets. Common kitchen with everything you need. Very small rooms , thin walls. I was glad there was only one person at the other end of the corridor.
- Sara (10/5): - Todo me ha encantado Todo me ha gustado ok
- Evania Cintian (10/5): Estada tranquila - Anfitriões atenciosos. Excelente localização. Instalações bem cuidadas, calefação e chuveiros funcionam bem. Tb nos ajudaram
com as malas, o que foi essencial, pois o prédio não tem elevador. Nada a reclamar
- Mercè (10/5): Un 10 absolut !!! - El personal son un 10, al igual que les instal.lacions i la situacio. Si tornem a Santiago, tornarem a reservar a La Balconada
- John (10/5): -
- Albert (5/5): - El ruido de cañerías toda la noche, como si la cisterna perdiera agua. Ademas el espacio muy reducido. El baño y la cama super pegados. Por ultimo, un cartel en la puerta que te advierte de la falta de seguridad de dejar las pertenencias dentro que nos obligó a bajar a desayunar con maletas.
- Jose Antonio (10/5): - Está en el centro y muy bien todo y el dueño muy amable ,para repetir
- Alfredo (10/5): -
