We stayed at the Hotel Altair and absolutely loved it! It is a gem of a place, great location, wonderful remodel of a very old building and everything done to perfection. Public sitting area limited but comfortable enough, breakfast room large and well run. Room was very nice, had a lovely French door with small balcony, very bright and airy,... more

Hotel Altair is a 3-star hotel deserving at least 4-stars for service. We arrived on an early evening and were greeted by Patricia as if we were close friends - staff here was unbelievably friendly and really NICE! This was a really nice change from the impersonal, large hotels we stayed in during our trip throughout Spain. The service is... more

We stayed at this Hotel for three nights on our second visit to Santiago. The staff were welcoming on arrival and gave us access to the room earlier than normal so that we could drop off our bags and start exploring. The hotel is situated at the top of the old quarter and is only a few minutes walk to... more

Santiago de Compostela remains my favourite town in Spain, despite the frequent rain, and we have visited often. The best area to stay is in the old town, especially to the NE of the Cathedral. Hotel Altair is perfectly positioned in a quiet road slightly away from the action but only a few minutes easy walk to the Cathedral and... more

Well located Boutique Hotel just minutes from the centre of Santiago but far enough away to avoid the crowds. Stunning contemporary interior, cool and relaxing. Great breakfast and friendly professional staff who are more then happy to make suggestions on where to go and where to eat ! Hotel rooms clean, minimalist and comfortable. Ideal place to stay if you... more

We have just returned from a 2 night stay and loved every minute. From the moment we arrived we were welcomed by an extremely polite and helpful receptionist, who couldn't offer enough help & advice on the hotel and area. The room was lovely, modern and spacious and quiet, Breakfast was optional and about 7 euros extra but was worth... more

An excellent hotel which is perfectly located. The hotel is very clean and the service is excellent. The staff are very helpful and will spend time in advising on how to make the most of the visit to Santiago De Compostela. There are plenty of good and reasonably priced restaurants close by. The restaurants the hotel recommended were particularly good.... more

The Hotel Altair is very centrally located - about 8 minutes walk to the Cathedral. There are numerous bars and restaurants in close proximity, but none so close so as to cause annoyance or noise issues. The staff are very professional, friendly and obliging. The hotel is compact, modern and stylish, but I don't agree with a previous contributor that... more

When I arrived at Santiago de Compostela I was coming from a stay at a four stars Barcelona hotel that was chosen as best luxury in 2007 (and again in 2008), which was a huge deception ( the very first one I had with tripadvisor recommendations) to find out that Hotel Altair was the one that deserved the title!!! Modern... more
