This is our second Camino arrival to Santiago and we liked this choice much more than the previous. The room was huge and tastefully decorated (seating area and bed area.) We had a view of the street below and there were no noise issues from below. We did not have breakfast there since there were local choices. The location is perfect since it is just a few steps from the Cathedral (got to the 7:30PM pilgrims Mass at 6:30PM and the Cathedral was already 3/4 full for Mass!) The front desk staff are very nice and gave us a good choice for our next day dinner selection (and they made the reservation the day before for us!) We walked the next day to the train station rather than taking a taxi (we were familiar with the simple straight route to the station).

Hotel Rua Villar is perfectly located next to the Cathedral Square, 1 minute walk and you are at the Cathedral. I stayed here for one night to extend my stay in Santiago after completing Camino!. Hotel has perfect location, as well as being very close to Cathedral also within easy reach of several restaurants & shops. Hotel reception staff made me feel welcomed straight away when I checked in plus each time I either exited or returned to the hotel. I had a spacious room on top floor. Very comfortable bed. Breakfast was excellent plenty of choice. Would happily stay here again.

No complaints

In the perfect location, old town, close to the cathedral, but quiet at night. The building is historical, the hotel personable, and the room and bed were comfortable. What sets this hotel apart is the exceptional service. The front desk staff is a 24 hour concierge, restaurant advice, sightseeing info, taxis, whatever one needs. I had an issue booking a last minute train ticket to Madrid, and Sandra did not give up until my problem was solved, despite several obstacles. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel, and will book here again when in Santiago.

This was a great hotel! We finished the camino in Santiago de Compostela and the hotel is just a few hundred feet from the cathedral on a picture-perfect street in the old part of the city. Perfect location! The woman who checked us in was very helpful and kind. The room and bathroom were very clean, nicely appointed, attractive and comfortable. Very pleased with this choice.

The hotel uses these heavy keys and keychains that you leave at the front desk every time you leave the hotel. An electronic key card system would be a nice upgrade.

The property was very easy to find and a great location (barely a minute walk to the cathedral) and right in the centre of the town. The facilities were well kept and clean, with staff being friendly and willing to help. Upon check out they also provide the option to leave bags with them which is very convenient if you have a later flight out, and can make the most of your day without carrying luggage around.

As it’s a older building while it’s been done up really well the floors are quite noisy so if the room above is occupied, we could hear when it was being cleaned or people walking about or furniture being moved. It was not a big inconvenience for us as we were out of the hotel most of the day.

Beautiful hotel. Wonderful staff Great location

An 18th century building sensitively converted to very comfortable hotel standards. Our Superior double was incredibly spacious and quadruple glazed to ensure no disturbance from the street. 5 min walk from the Cathedral’s southern entrance, you couldn’t really be more central. Fabulously helpful staff helped us hire a car for a day trip (it came to the hotel door) and airport taxi. Great breakfast. All the staff were so lovely.

Nothing.

The location could not have been better for access to the Cathedral. However, it was very difficult to find when we first arrived. The room was clean and comfortable and had a great view of the walking street in front of the hotel. Parking was difficult and a long walk to the car, which I understand because the whole area is a pedestrian zone. However, I believe that we could have received more precise instructions on how to find the parking garage and how to get from the garage to the hotel. A detailed map would have been helpful.

My only complaint is the lack of precise information and a detailed map on how to find the parking garage and then walk to the hotel.

My wife and I stayed here before so it was my first choice for this camino. Love the location right next to the Cathedral and surrounded by shops and cafe / restaurants. Love the old style design with room accents with stone and timber. And I had a nice window view of the street below which I enjoyed.

When I first checked in I was assigned a room on the Fourth floor with sloping ceilings, which I don’t like because I am tall and the only window was a sky window. I had a two night reservation and went back to the front desk and said the room was unacceptable. She immediately reassigned a room which was great!

The hotel allowed us early check-in, which was great, as you have to walk from the parking garage 2 blocks away to get there! The rooms are small but lovely, location is very close to the Cathedral with lots of options for shopping and eating. Each floor has a seating a space area to sit and talk with friends. Parking is in Parking San Clemente, next to the police station. It is underground but there is a lift to street level. Walk straight out and up to Rua do Vilar, turn right to the hotel.
