There is something about staying in this medieval hotel that revives the spirit. We happened to stay during a wedding and major festival (by accident and not by choice) and still felt comfortable and well treated. Highly recommend for those who want the complete Santiago experience. more

This is a superb hotel! In a great location (none better) we were stunned when we realised just where we were staying when we arrived. We loved the ambience, our room and location. The hotel is stunning and has an interesting history - be sure to take some time to wander around to explore it - lots of lovely arches... more

The building is amazing with interconnecting courtyards leading to bedrooms which have period features and really make you feel part of the history of Santiago de Compostela.

The standard rooms are small and can be noisy, water running above etc. For a 5 star hotel it has few facilities: no pool, no sauna, no gym etc. Like many pardors the... more

I did the Camino de Santiago from France to Santiago de Compostela and decided to enjoy the luxury at the end of the trip of staying in the old building right slap bang next to the Catedral, which originally was built for pilgrims. Today it's a luxury hotel, but I never did feel out of place, despite my hiking gear... more

My wife and I stayed four nights in August. It is simlar to the parador in leon in that it is a fantatstic old building but open to the public. There are no sitting rooms or bars just for guests. We had booked a junior suite only to find that the four poster bed was two singles and no others... more
