Everything was nice about the hotel except they are way understaffed at the front desk. They did not answer the phone when we called for requests. The queue often was very long with only one (or no) person at the front desk. Very nice and professional, but very slow. All else was very good.

Parador de Santiago de Compostela
Super cute rooms, bathrooms are sparkling new and updated while the room evoked the castle and romantic eras... service is top notch, staff friendly and helpful. Literally steps from the cathedral and the cutest old town shops. Highly recommend
