Hotel Montes

Great location, right in the historical center of Santiago de Compostela. Large and bright bedroom. Clean and quiet (apart from the cracking floor above you). We would definitely come back to that hotel.

There is a wooden floor which cracks over you when someone walks on the upper floor.

Nice location, nice staff, lovely room

Nothing

We loved this hotel. In Santiago, aside from the Uber expensive posada, this is a super place for several reasons. The room is large, bright and clean with a king bed AND a black&white bath tub in the room-my wife loved it. Ask for the third floor facing the front (square); it overlooks a small, garden square with a fountain. The receptionist said it was her favorite room and we'd support her reason. And, one can see the cathedral and bishop's palace from the small balcony. Location=great. It is in the heart of the historic district and (est.) 400 ft from the cathedral and plaza. And, there are a couple cafes next to the square where we had a beer at the end of the day and enjoyed watching the pilgrims trek past. There is a restaurant on the ground floor which we ate at and found the entrée's quite good with good service meeting expectations. May not sound like a big deal but there is a rear entrance so one can get a taxi and avoid the front street which can be crowded.

There wasn't anything we disliked. That said, the hotel is in a pedestrian area so if you come by car you will need to park outside the area. They didn't tell us this and Google maps is not helpful. We rode around for a long time before calling the hotel. They do have a discount at the parking lot which is about 3 blocks from the Montes. The restaurant isn't open for breakfast, but we found a wonderful old grand room nearby for breakfast.

Central location. Clean and quiet.

Room was a bit small
