Liked the closeness to the cathedral and all the restaurants!

The staff Are very friendly , accommodating and helpful.
The rooms small, but well appointed.
Příjemný hotel s úžasnou polohou (hned vedle katedrály), takže máte všude ve starém centru Santiaga blízko. Velmi milý personál, poradí, pomůže se vším. Snídaně byla dostačující.
Na zařízení hotelu je vidět trochu opotřebení.
The front desk staff - Christina is very friendly and helpful.
The key to open my room is very hard to use it. I need to call the front desk to help.
Close location to cathedral
Bedbugs in room 12
Todo en general, limpieza, silencio, amabilidad, situación. Muy buen hotel para acabar el camino y darte un capricho
Me gustó todo

Lokalizacja wspaniała, niedaleko katedry, wśród uliczek starego miasta, pokój czysty, stylowy, hotelik z klimatem, bardzo uprzejmy personel, smaczne śniadanie
Wszystko super!
Everything. The hotel setting is wonderful, so close to all the major historical sites, restaurants and bars. Very comfortable feel to the place and the staff were exceptionally welcoming, helpful and friendly. We would definitely recommend Hotel Rua Villar.
the room was sweet - simple, clean and comfortable.
It was beautiful
Perfect location, fantastic staff, nice old accommodation that matched the city, very good breakfast and had every facility you could possibly need.

This is my second time staying at Rua Villar after walking a Camino. I love the location, comfort and breakfast. The staff is extremely welcoming and accommodating
Maravillosa ubicación. Personal extraordinariamente amable y atento, y las habitaciones una preciosidad.
Me gusto todo, pero destacaría la ubicación inmejorable, justo detrás de la catedral, y el personal. El trato y la atención ha sido excepcional, todo el personal sin excepción han sido muy cercanos, eficientes y amables.

Helpful staff recognized us every time we returned. Clean. Wonderful room. GREAT LOCATION near the cathedral. I have been to Santiago 5 times and this is by far the nicest place that I have stayed
Outstanding customer service. The front desk staff was extremely helpful and welcoming!

Hotel a pochi passi dalla cattedrale, ben tenuto e con bella atmosfera. Ideale per chi voglia visitare la città.
Nulla.
Gostei de tudo, mas a localização faz toda a diferença em Santiago de Compostela.
Nada a comentar
Ubicado a metros de la catedral de Santiago, si vas como peregrino y te lo podes permitir es un gran final
Nada todo estaba bárbaro. Solo a tener en cuenta que como es centro histórico de tarde y noche no entran taxis
We loved the location The staff were very helpful and very accommodating. . A lovely welcome from Natalia at reception when we arrived. Buffet breakfast was great too!
This hotel is ideally located right in the center of Santiago's old town. It is incredibly quiet—we couldn't even hear the nearby pop concert or fireworks from our room. The air conditioning worked flawlessly, making our stay highly comfortable. I would absolutely book this hotel again without hesitation.
The location and the cheerful professional staff.
Hearing every creak of the floor from neighbouring rooms but it’s old so you get used to it after the first night .
Tutto ok

Amabilité du personnel et le cadre très agréable.
La connexion wifi pas très bonne malheureusement
Personnel aimable et prêt à aider
Die Lage ist großartig - nur ein paar Gehminuten von der Kathedrale entfernt. Das Hotel und die Zimmer sind rustikal charmant, passen aber perfekt zur Altstadt. Meinem Zimmer hat es an nichts gefehlt. Das Personal und das Service waren super.
The staff was absolutely lovely-the location superior
A bigger elevator
Lovely clean old fashioned hotel right in the centre of town with really helpful friendly staff.
The lift is very small, but that is probably dictated by the design of an old building.
Virkelig skønne værelser. Meget hjælpsomt personale
Intent.
Great location. Friendly, helpful and effective staff. Clean. No parking, but they'll give you a 20% discount ticket for use at any other underground car parks nearby.
It was all good. No complaints.
Amazing staff, charming decor, steps from the cathedral
Being in the centre of old town. Also Staff very helpful and friendly.
Beautifully appointed room in a delightful hotel. Fantastic location,close to the cathedral. Staff very helpful and friendly. Was our second stay here and would warmly recommend.

La Habitación
A very relaxing stay in a comfortable and beautifully decorated, spacious room.
This is the 4th time I've stayed at this hotel and I will certainly be back again! It's very clean, the building is beautiful, and it's well-placed right in the heart of the old part of Santiago next to the cathedral entrance. Everything is comfortable and the rooms are well-equipped with everything. Very nice staff that goes out of their way to help.
Nothing - everything was great. No complaints about anything at all.

Gelungener Abschluß des Camino. Beste Lage, schönes sauberes Zimmer. Vor allem sehr freundliches Personal. Konnte den Rucksack deponieren, beim Check-In war er schon im Zimmer. Die Dame an der Rezeption hat einen sehr guten Job gemacht. Das Gleiche gilt auch für den Herrn bei der Abreise am frühen Morgen.
Las habitaciones eran muy amplias y la actitud del personal era excepcional. Absolutamente todos los miembros del equipo eran muy amables.
The hotel was beautiful! 200 years old and yet so modern. We were surprised by how close we were to the cathedral. The staff was 100% helpful! They answered so many questions for us.

Muito central, a curta distância da Catedral de Santiago. Hotel bonito e confortável. Pessoal muito atencioso e sempre disponível para ajudar. Já fiquei neste hotel várias vezes e continuarei a vir.

La excelente atención de Sandra, la ubicación, la comodidad de la cama para un buen descanso. Todo excelente. Volvería sin dudarlo
Un lugar excelente para visitar Santiago. Personal muy amable y atento. Buen desayuno y aunque está justo al lado de la Catedral, es muy tranquilo. Muy recomendable
Great room and location . Staff very hospitable .
Breakfast room a bit cramped
Sentralt plassert, aircondition, fine fellesareal
Rommet mitt var i øverste etasje, kun med takvindu. Kombinert med mørkt interiør, ga det en mørk og innestengt følelse på rommet. Fikk da ikke nyte utsikt til den vakre omgivelsen hotellet lå i. En av de ansatte snakket svært dårlig engelsk som resulterte i misforståelser bl.a vedr frokost og bestilling av taxi.
La ubicación es maravillosa, el personal encantador, la habitación muy bonita y bien decorada, confortable, un poco pequeña la individual
Una sola cosa: el olor un poco a desinfectante o el producto que usen de limpieza
It was close to everything but also quiet. Thankful for the A/C and quality mattress.
Very central, very nice room and facilities

Location Location Location! It is just around the corner from the cathedral plaza. Staff was very friendly. Place was very clean. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was complete. Decor was on point. Omg, the water pressure of the shower was heaven! I waffled between staying here or at the parador. So happy I chose this property. After visiting the parador, while beautiful and historic, I didn’t think it was worth all the extra $$. Rua Villar is also has a historical charm. It is kind of like a riad, but there is no longer an open courtyard. Very charming boutique hotel. Highly recommended!!
The only thing that could be improved were the pillows. They were too plum and extremely firm. I found a less firm pillow in closet after the first night.
Localização, simpatia funcionários
Everything was as it should be. Very good contact with the hotel staff.
Location. Beautiful old world room
All was good
Perfect location and interior, very kind and helpful staff.
Great location near Cathedral with large beautiful room and excellent breakfast. Staff very friendly and helpful.
Die Lage des Hotels ist ganz in der Nähe der Kathedrale und damit optimal für alle Aktivitäten in Santiago. Sehr leckeres Frühstück und ein sehr aufmerksames Personal im Hotel.
This is a great hotel across the road from the bay. It’s bright it’s fresh and super clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and was disappointed we had to leave. The staff a great and always helpful. It’s hard to believe it’s only 2 stars
No food option.
Tutto. Bella struttura, pulita ed accogliente

The location was wonderful.
Loved it all
Hotel, equipe e quarto espetacular.
Lindo quarto, banheira e banho espetacular, recepção e equipe muito atenciosa
Loved everything about the property! Location is amazing, just steps from the Cathedral. The hotel is so quaint and our room was large with a sitting area and beautiful balcony with blooming flowers overlooking Rua Vilar. While you feel like you step back in time, the amenities are modern. Our flight left early so we couldn’t make breakfast but the staff prepared coffee and pastries for us before we left.

Amazing location. Really helpful staff who took notice of my room requirements and accommodated me. Lovely breakfast. Comfortable, quiet room.

Boutique hotel in a fantastic location in the heart of Santiago de Compostela.
Todo fue fantástico, y lo mejor la amabilidad y atención del personal. Nos encantó
Que terminó… :)
Great location. Welcoming staff
The staff was very good at knowing and helping with directions, plans, and being sure everything was top notch!
Amazing place to stay after finishing the camino!
The hotel is beautiful and cozy with charming decor. And the staff and service were outstanding. They were kind enough to store my backpack before and after my stay. When the cleaner found my charger in my room, the staff made sure to put it with my bag so it was waiting for me when I picked it up later. Someone is at the service desk 24 hours. Would definitely stay here again!
No complaints.
Habitación amplia, cama muy cómoda, situación perfecta. Muy silenciosa.
Me gustó todo.
Friendly and proximity to Compostela.
Hotel Rua Villar is exceptional! I stayed here after completing the Portuguese Camino. The hotel is very centrally located in the historic center of Santiago and is a (5) minute walk maximum from the Cathedral. The property features a lovely aesthetic. It is quiet, clean and my room was spacious and welcoming. The upper floors all look into a beautiful sky lit interior atrium which is lovely. The breakfast was delicious and the staff were very friendly and accommodating.

LA UBICACIÓN DEL HOTEL Y LA ATENCIÓN Y AMABILIDAD DE SANDRA, CRISTINA, JAVIER Y LAS CHICAS QUE TE ASEAN LA HABITACIÓN. LA HABITACIÓN DOBLE SUPERIOR MUY CÓMODA Y AMPLIA.
EL DESAYUNO. BASTANTE ACOTADO Y EN EL CASO PERSONAL QUE SÓLO TOMÁBAMOS CAFÉ Y TÉ CON TOSTADAS CON MANTECA Y DULCE, Y JUGO, NOS SERVIAN SÓLO 2 CAFÉ, SI QUERÍAS REPETIR UN TERCER CAFÉ TE LO COBRABAN APARTE, A PESAR DE QUE ERA DESAYUNO BUFFET. ASÍ QUE OPTAMOS POR LLEVARNOS UN SAQUITO DE TÉ Y UN SOBRE DE CAFÉ INSTANTÁNEO PARA PODER TOMAR UN TERCER CAFÉ Y TÉ. ÉSO ME PARECIÓ MUY MAL. TAMBIÉN LAS CONDICIONES DEL COLCHÓN. ERA INCÓMODO Y TUVIMOS QUE PEDIRLE A LA CHICA QUE LIMPIABA LA HABITACIÓN QUE CADA DOS DÍAS LO DIERA VUELTA, PUES SE HUNDÍA Y NOS HACIA DOLER LA CINTURA.
Near the Cathedral, shops, and eating places. The receptionist are all friendly and helpful.
Our room was at the top floor with the slanted ceiling on one end which is not good for tall people.
Fantastic location, only 100m from the Cathedral. Very attentive and friendly staff, rooms were clean and had AC
No main bar to chill out and gave a drink
A localização é excelente e a acomodação é muito boa!
Algumas pessoas da equipe não são nada educadas! Foram desrespeitosos com minha mãe diversas vezes. Inclusive ignorando-a afirmando que não falam com quem não sabe falar espanhol. Gostaria muito de ver como este hotel viveria sem turistas de outros países. Ingratos!
