Fits the colonial-style mode. Three room types: window room onto street noise; airless interior corridor room; and, room overlooking interior courtyard. Take your pick, take your poison. Selected #3 as least of evils for this stay. Open window on courtyard let in noise and afforded no privacy. But, had to leave it open as the air in the room was still, damp and impregnated with the built-up residue of cleaning solutions, though strangely the room itself did not seem clean. Breathe through your teeth inside the Santiago de Compostela. Rate included good wifi internet, but no breakfast. No discount offered from rack rate if you walk in without reservation. Plenty of food options nearby; Hotel situated a block off the main avenue, and within easy walking of all the sites of historico centro. After one night here, you can walk the area to discover a better hotel.

First room I have been taken to was dirty: dirty carpets, dirty and stained chair, hair on the floor in the bathroom. I have asked for another room without carpet and was taken to one. Here I found cheewing gum on the floor beside the wimdow, dirty and stained chair again, dirty courtains and hair on the floor in the room and in the bathroom.
There was a lot traffic on the street due to the construction and it has taken me 40 minutes to get to the hotel's garage from the back street, the front entrance was blocked by the construction. Only because my car was already in the garage I have decided to stay and asked that they send houskeeping to clean. Someone showed up with a broom and did a half good job cleaning the hair off the floors. She explained that it was probably the same maid cleaning both rooms (on 2 different floors)and that is why it was done so poorly. She said that they will look into it and talk to her. She had no explanation about other things, only mentioned that the owners are not really willing to spend money to keep the hotel in decent shape. Well, then- I will not spend my money there either.
The room I have seen are small with 2 double beds, 1 chair and a narrow table where the TV is placed. There is poor ventlation and very depressing feel, small window faces the interior of the hotel (I have not asked to be in the room facing the street due to the construction and traffic that is always there).

We had a great experience here. The rooms were large and clean, ditto the bathrooms. Two fresh bottles of water every day. The maids were honest to a fault - I left 20 pesos in what I thought was a conspicuous location and they didn't touch it. Loved the guitarist in the evenings. Breakfast buffet was awesome and very reasonable (95 pesos). Wireless in the lobby though not in the rooms.

The staff overall was incredibly helpful (and my dad can be very demanding!) We had one issue at check in - I had tried to make the reservation through the online system on their website. I even called to confirm it, but whoever answered the phone said "don't worry about it, just come in." I was supposed to get 10% off for doing it online. Although the guy at the desk when we arrived didn't have a record of my on-line attempt, he ended up giving us the discount anyway. Like I say, the rest of the time there were no glitches, but best to make reservations some way other than through their website.

We booked the Jose Cuervo tequila tour through them too (260 pesos per person, includes transportation, stop at the agave fields to see the macho worker harvest the plant, factory tour, free samples). It was a lot of fun, I highly recommend it.

I can confirm that the fan in the bathroom was indeed very loud, and the beds hard, although that was perfect for me. Other than that, no problems with this place.

We loved this colonial cozy hotel. Stayed for two days, and loved it. Every Thursday, Friday & Saturday in the evenings they have live romantic guitar music in the bar, with colonial architecture, and a great atmosphere. In addition, it is located a few blocks away from the cathederal and Plaza Garibaldi -- Highly recommended...
