Great place but the pool is not open to all guest.

Unfortunately, we didn’t check to see that the pool was available to guests without a reservation. Seems strange that they highlighted photos of the pool but you have to make a reservation and pay a fee to use the pool, for a limited time. The pool and hot tub are within the Spa. Breakfast, the lounge and bar areas are beautiful, warm and friendly. This place is not within walking distance of the town and taxi services are limited. The town is bustling with tourists and students and has a lovely evening atmosphere.

A lovely place

We loved every minute of our 2 night stay. We liked our comfortable room, the breakfast, restaurant and cafe (with the bar). We enjoyed being in the garden and swim in the pool and sitting in the cozy sitting room in the evening. We loved the friendly atmosphere in this old building. The entrance to the SPA was 30 € per person, so We stayed by the pool in the garden instead. All the staff were very nice and professional. It’s a short drive to the busy Center of Santiago de Compostela but here you feel like you are in the countryside.

Beautiful property, but….

Great service, beautiful hotel, amazing food and location. We stayed in room 412 which it was extremely hot. Our several complaints they brought us a fan for our last. It’s a shame that they couldn’t fix the room Temperature since it’s an Eco hotel and they only have heaters (no ac) We are still waiting for hotel to reach out to us to find a remedy (compensation) for our 3 Nights discomfort.

Everything about this place is beautiful. And dinner was out of this world. The cafe was fantastic. The art and furnishings and building itself and the grounds were awesome. Was less enamored with their spa services though. Not bad. Just average. And was disappointed when we tried to stay an extra night and they said yes, but then called to double the room price. We left and headed to the coast instead.

Property surroundings stunning with beauty, history and unique. Key did not work until 3:30 PM. One nasty receptionist gave us a speech for arriving before 3 PM. I believe her name was Andrea. They gave us the worst room in the Hotel, with a view to the parking and entrance without privacy. Rooms and amenities not to the level of 5 star Chateau, More like a 4 star business Hotel.

Mixed experience

I'm torn - It's a beautiful location, and incredible building, and the flowers and plant life everywhere is gorgeous. So many wonderful spaces to discover around the property. Things we liked - the breakfast (not many hot options but we were keeping it light in the AM!), the service at the "cafeteria" (casual bar) was great, there were nice wine and cocktail options, the room was pretty and clean. Santiago de Compostela is lovely and a 45 minute walk along the river or easy taxi or drive. Things we didn't like - the room was way too hot at night, they have some cooling system in their floors but it was not enough and we were pretty uncomfortable, could have used a fan for sure. The staff at reception were mixed - some were excellent, some were kind of clueless, at least one was kind of rude. It can be challenging to get taxis to and from Santiago. The hotel is almost overstuffed with antiques and knick-knacks, which seems charming but some of them were a little in poor taste/borderline offensive (very outdated racial representations). On the flip side, there is hardly any lounger seating in the grounds or by the pool, despite the size of the property. Several times we struggled to find places to lounge with our books. The pool is above ground and frankly, too cold to actually swim in. The spa pool is a much better temperature but it's indoors and the spa only opens at 11am, would have loved to go earlier. So overall I'd say hi on charm and atmosphere but lower on comfort!
