if you have read the other reviews, you will have a sense of this hotel. I won't repeat a lot of what has already been written except to say, I agree--this is a lovely hotel with fantastic staff. The hotel is in the old city, just on the fringe. The old city itself is not large, Santiago is quite big... More

The staff are so friendly, helpful, a mine of information and proud of their heritage. The hotel is beautiful, spotlessly clean and full of character. It is sturdily built in the traditional stone, the interior featuring highly polished wood. There is a lift for those who need it. Our room was spotless, comfortable and a great place to rest your...

This is the best boutique hotel we've been in in years. It is so well appointed and esthetically pleasing. The blend of wood, rock, tile, and polished stone is wonderful. The window treatments and hardware above and beyond. Combine this with a multi-lingual staff out to please and you have success. The breakfast was complete and individual. There is parking... More

An excellent base from which to explore this wonderful medieval town. A really friendly welcome from all the staff and their English certainly helped us to find our way around. Very clean, and a welcoming place to return to after a hard days sightseeing.

The bathroom was spacious and bed fine. Every aspect to the building seemed well cared for. We did not mind parking a few blocks away, where... More

This Hotel feels very personal from the moment you arrive. The rooms are really well presented and a good size, the staff are very friendly and the service cannot be bettered. I had spent the previous 28 days walking the Camino and so this Boutique was the perfect end to a month of incessant walking. The breakfast is also perfect,... More

Good location in the old part of town. Room was clean, comfortable and very quiet. Furniture is modern and in good condition. The bathroom was spacious. Breakfast was great. Definitely would go back and recommend.

It gets better the longer you stay. When we first arrived it was late at night after a long train journey. The room was fairly small with a cramped bathroom, however in the light of day the room was bright although the bed was a little hard. The breakfast was absolutely brilliant, with slabs of artisan toasted bread, local preserves,... More

October 18 - October 22 Altair is a charming and well-appointed boutique hotel in old Santiago. An extremely friendly and accommodating staff, assisted deftly with restaurant recommendations, rental cars, cabs and directions. (Despite limited Spanish comprehension in our party) Not a single misfire in the four-day stay. They also arranged a last-minute welcome gift for a later arriving guest at... More
