Camino Stay

The staff is wonderful and very accommodating. The hotel is just minutes away from the Compostela. The room is nicely decorated and the stone walls are reminiscent of this ancient city.
Frank, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice guest rooms in a charming 14th? Century building in old town, only steps from the end point of camino de santiago. Staff was extremely helpful - did our laundry after we finished the camino (for free) and arranged taxis for us. Really enjoyed our stay.

Unbeatable location

We had a perfect one night stay at Casa da Balconada. The location couldn't be better, the room was ideal, and Jose was the best host, dealing with every request quickly and helpfully. Highly recommended!

The owner went out of his way to offer helpful information about restaurants and directions. He also carried my bag to room! And when I stopped in briefly and sat in the lobby, he offered me cold waters! The room was cozy, luxurious, and clean. I highly recommend this centrally located hotel.

Loved staying here. After the Camino, this was the perfect place to have a bit of space to myself. Perfectly located in the heart of everything. Would stay here again next time I’m back in Santiago! Check in was convenient and easy to communicate via WhatsApp. They were super helpful is arranging a taxi to get to the airport as well.

4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This property is within 5 minutes of the Cathedral and plaza! Close and convenient to food, historical sites, and laundry. The staff were very kind and helpful and they had the most comfortable beds we had slept in across Spain! The one warning I would give is that like most European hotels, there is not an elevator. Fantastic location!!

The room was gorgeous and the owner Christina was one of the most helpful people I have experienced. I can’t recommend this highly enough!
Keith, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Casa da Balconada is a cute, boutique-like small hotel. Everything is clean to the detail, and the rooms are beautifully set. I had a room with a balcony, and great views of the cathedral. The staff is polite and supportive. Perfect for staying in a peaceful environment and, at the same time, very convenient to explore restaurants, historic places, religious monuments.
Olga, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location but LOUD

This is a great location however, if you have a room facing the street be prepared for loud revelers until early morning! The spiral staircase to access the rooms is very difficult to get luggage up and down. The staff was very helpful.
Susan Nanette, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This place was a phenomenal end to our Camino journey! Just steps from the catedral. The host, Christina, was so helpful throughout our stay (she helped us bring up our suitcases, gave us great recommendations, and organized two early morning taxis for us, etc.). My dad and I loved every part of this stay and would absolutely come back.
Colleen, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I really enjoyed my stay at this property, the staff were so kind and very helpful. The property is situated in the old town, very near the cathedral. The room was pretty with a balcony and lots of nice little touches like chargers and a bedside lamp and a good shower. The streets outside can be noisy at night, but that didn't bother me is I am a heavy sleeper, but if you are a light sleeper take ear plugs.
richard, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It’s a nice quiet little pension house just steps from the Cathedral. Those with issues might find the stairs to get to the room difficult to negotiate. We did not have a problem. Beds were so comfortable especially after our Camino. The lobby and sitting area on the first floor are so cute! I would definitely stay here whenever I’m in the area.
Anne, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nestled in the historic Santiago, this place offers a vibrant and convenient stay, with its prime location within walking distance of Santiago Cathedral and other main attractions. The dining experience is a highlight, showcasing local seafood that enrich the stay. The staff's warmth and efficiency enhance the overall experience. However, guests should be aware that the house central location exposes it to the lively nightlife, particularly on Saturdays, which might disrupt the sleep of light sleepers.
Leonardo, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It's literally right around the corner from the cathedral. Christina was friendly and super helpful. We were staying for 3 nights. The original room was a bit small for relaxing and working. They moved us to a bigger room. (Which didn't have a balcony) which was more comfortable for the 2 of us just hanging out enjoying Spain!
karla, 1-night trip

Pros: next to the cathedral, area is very safe and clean, room is modern/updated and clean, and staff is very friendly and helpful Cons: next the cathedral (bell tolls every 30 mins), you need to walk and carry all you luggage/gear in and out, no elevator (but staff will carry your luggage/gearupstairs good luck getting it down.
