Top Santiago de Compostela Hotel Reviews

Hotel Praza Quintana

Hotel Praza Quintana

10/10 Excellent
"This charming boutique hotel is in a great location to the historic center of the area and where the pilgrims finish their Camino de Santiago. The hotel is a beautiful blend of old historic architecture and modern decor. The room was small and worked just fine for us. It also matched the photos online. It was clean, pleasant, and the beds were comfortable. The AC worked well. The bathroom was good and included a shower. The elevator worked well. The halls were decorated tastefully. I enjoyed the sculpted lamp near a stairway landing. We had breakfast here one day. It was a decent continental breakfast. The front desk staff was helpful, kind, friendly, and worked well with the two of us English speakers. We got great advice to schedule a taxi the night before to get to the train station on time. We really enjoyed this hotel and would stay here again. A lovely hotel in a fascinating location."
