They had the most amenities I have seen offered in a hotel bathroom lol. The hotel was beautiful and large rooms. Their breakfast buffet was top notch. It is a wonderful place to relax after reaching Santiago. Definitely recommend!

5 Stars - Buen Camino, Gran Hotel!…read more From the moment I stepped into the grand, voluminous lobby after my long journey on El Camino, the Parador de Santiago de Compostela felt like a sanctuary. The welcome was warm, the atmosphere majestic, and every detail of this historic hotel radiated elegance. My room was spacious and serene--just what I needed for rest and reflection. The staff were exceptional, offering impeccable service with kindness and grace. Bravo to everyone at the Parador de los Reis Católicos--what a truly heavenly experience!

I loved this place. I didn't get the name of the man who worked at the front desk, or maybe owned…read morethe place? But he was incredibly helpful, and friendly. He spoke English, which was nice, and gave me very careful directions to several places! He made sure I had a cab early in the morning to the train station too! The rooms and beds were very clean, the blankets were so comfy, there chargers for each bed, and a closet that locked for each person to store your stuff! There was a nice break room, and you can do your laundry for 6 Euros, including the detergent! I would come back here anytime!

Don't think an Albergue can get any better than this place. Have done 3 caminos and this was…read moreprobably the best because 1. Location Location Location. Just a few blocks from the Cathedral, a block south of a really interesting restaurant that serves a "menu" (same side of the street as the hostal). A block north of a delicious churros/hot chocolate place (Metate), and many other places to eat and drink on the same street. 2. Price. For where it is located it was by far the most inexpensive place around (don't wait until the last minute as it books up quickly) 3. Cleanliness. Pretty good for the number of people going through there. I saw the cleaning person all day/every day 4. Privacy. Only Albergue I stayed in that had privacy doors so you could block off sections of bunkbeds and convert into a private room. Overall...AWESOME!

It is outside of town, but being that Santiago is small, it really doesn't matter. Neat rooms in…read morebright colours, handy kitchen and a garden with lemon trees. Wonderful home away from home!

The beds have a curtain for privacy, they have quick laundry service for 5 euros, very clean showers and bathrooms. Close to the cathedral and center (quick walk to them). Couldn't ask for better!
