On Rua da Atalaia, ( a quiet street 5 mins from the cathedral ) is Pension Girasol. It has a small bar on the ground floor. It has a simple modern interior with equally simple well prepared traditional foods. Every day has a new menu and every thing is fresh and prepared without fuss. The owner is wonderful and the...

I didn't stay here, but ate here a few times over my week in Santiago because it was so good and so cheap! There were two set menus every day (usually 8.50 or 12.50 euro), these included three courses, bread, wine and coffee!! and when I say including wine, they just brought you a bottle! The food was excellent, the... More

Didn't stay here, but had 3 very good and reasonably priced meals in its cafe. A breakfast, lunch and dinner. All well cooked and presented; great plates of fresh langoustine particularly stand out. Very welcoming and helpful staff. Best burgers eaten in 3 weeks travelling in spain.

I found this to be an economical restaurant with really good food and helpful staff. I had a fixed two course meal including a salad and burger and chips for 12 euros. In addition to this, I had a desert, a couple of bottles of water and half a bottler of white wine. On paying the bill, I was pleasantly... More

Pension Girasol was the third place we stayed during our Spain trip, and it was such a welcomed respite from our first two lodgings. The place is perfectly situated - with the Cathedral and all of Santiago's other major sights within a short walk. The staff (who are also working for the restaurant downstairs) were friendly and spoke English. The... More

I had the good fortune of spending 3 nights at the Pension Girasol after completing the Camino de Santiago. It was a most welcoming refuge. The location is fantastic, perhaps a 5 minute walk to the main Cathedral. They served a wonderful breakfast every morning. The staff were very friendly and helpful. My husband arrived late at night, hours after... More

The Pension Girasole (Sunflower) is a very charming pension. It is a couple of blocks from the Cathedral Santiago. It is ideally located in Santiago. We checked in with the woman who ran the restuarant downstairs from the room. She was quite sweet. She gave us our key. She explained that we walk up the 1.5 flight of stairs to... More

a wonderful pension hidden a couple streets away from all the "happenings". We discovered this pension in early July at the end of a long hiking trip in Spain. As other reviewers have said, the location is perfect, very close to everything in a little side street. Our room was very clean and charming - I can't say enough about... More

The location within the old city area was good - pretty close to the cathedral. It's at the edge of the old city area, but we like to walk. The staff was great - very friendly. They went to some trouble to get us a room on the first floor since we returned and stayed for 5 days. (3 week... More
