Hotel Costa Vella is the perfect place from which to explore the beautiful city of Santiago de Compostela. I have now stayed there 3 times with my wife and teenage son and we have never been disappointed. The hotel is virtually minutes from the Cathedral and within easy walking distance of a myriad of excellent restaurants and bars. Robert is... more

This is a lovely budget hotel just on the edge of the old centre of Santiago. For what you get, it's extremely cheap. The garden is amazing but can get busy in the evenings when it is warm. The staff are super-friendly and helpful. The rooms themselves are basic, but still good value. The only downside is the noise from... more

I had the pleasure of staying at Costa Vella from May 8th-May 15. It is an experience I will never forget. Quaint, charming, beautiful and real are only a few adjectives I can use to describe this hotel. From the warm rooms to the AMAZING views this is the place to stay in Santiago de Compostela. The staff was not... more

My friends (another couple) and we stayed here from May 9th until May 23rd. Our ages run from 56 the youngest to 76 the eldest. I wish we were still there! The hotel is listed as a two star hotel but having extensively travelled the world, this hotel warrants a much better rating. There is no lift but the hotel... more

We stayed at this little hotel and have to say, the personnel were the friendliest and most helpful of almost the entire trip. Lots of nice things to say about the property, however they are offset by the negative. There is a beautiful garden and outside sitting/eating area IF weather permits, nice bar area also. However the rooms are small... more

We greatly enjoyed our stay in Santiago, and would recommend the Costa Vella for the price. We had a double room with a sitting room on the second floor, and the room was as others have commented. Rather small, but well furnished with a decent bathroom. The bed was on the firm side, but not unexpected for Europe. The staff... more

We just came back from Santiago where we stayed at this lovely hotel for 4 nights. We had 2 double rooms with a "Galleria", facing the lovely garden, with a view of the Church of San Francisco. Room numbers were 101 and 201. The hotel and service was exactly as I expected from the reviews I read here. It was... more

Stayed at this hotel for a week in March. A great choice. B'fast is excellent; staff friendly and helpful; location great. Would stay here again. Some of the features that we liked:Close by are good eateries, frequented by locals (which is always a good sign in city of tourists); Across the street is a small general store; Just a few... more

Santiago de Compostela is one of my favourite European cities and I visit annually. This is always the hotel I stay in because of its unique and relaxed atmosphere coupled with patient (and plentiful) staff. It is in the old part of the city the "anciano" which is entirely stone, the hotel is in keeping with this, with the appearance... more
