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. However, due to the wooden floors it meant that we could hear every movement from the bedroom upstairs including every toilet flush, bath running or little children running about which went on late... more

We had the best ever stay, everything was perfect. (Except the weather). more

Just returned from Santiago de Comostela and this wonderful hotel. I was a little concerned having read other reviews but was delighted to find a charming hotel with friendly staff. The Parador de los Reis Catolicos offers a real authentic experience and the building is just fantastic. Our room was a standard double with a large bathroom. We had sparkling... more

We liked this hotel, it is in a fantastic location, a beautiful building. We had a problem in our room though. When we arrived it smelled of vomit. I rang the front desk who were a little rude but then put me through to housekeeping. They came up and took the rug away which reaked but left the sofa which... more

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

Our experience was only so-so. The room was on the first floor, and was very dark and below-ground level. Also, faced the very noisy street where the bagpiper played all day! We asked to switch rooms and staff didn't even make an attempt to help. Make sure you get an upper floor room if you stay here. The hotel sent... more
