Hotels near Colegio Fonseca, Santiago de Compostela

We were lucky to stay in this hotel for three nights and could highly recommend it. The room we had was with the direct view on the main square. That is, just a couple of steps away from the Cathedral. The room and the whole hotel felt very new and modern, with great isolation and very clean. The breakfast was standard, but fresh and very affordable (9 euros/person). If you’re staying in Santiago de Compostela - look no further!

I had an injury just prior to checking into this hotel. the front desk staff were helpful in the extreme to help me change my room to a more convenient one, find food during siesta time, and they even helped me get a Covid test in my room which was required in order to get on my flight the next day. the room was super comfortable and quiet, the breakfast was fantastic and again, the staff was excellent- friendly, caring, competent and anticipated my needs. thank you!

It cost us to communicate to know when they sent us the code to enter and that made us nervous because we arrived after midnight. Finally they sent it but it was wrong. Fortunately there's a phone at the door and in a second they resolved it. There is a parking place. Very close to the center and the cathedral. There is very comfortable, modern, touched us the disabled in PB No air conditioning, only heating, as we were in March we noticed the lack, perhaps in summer he feels. We were very comfortable, very comfortable beds, good wifi, no pawn but have a pay-off coffee machine in the room. We were only one night, it was very good.

Having completed the Camino, we thought that we should stay for several days to relish the experience! What an excellent choice of hotel! The very friendly and helpful staff made our stay delightful. The room was cleaned daily and fresh towels supplied. Good amount of space and storage. The location is very central indeed. The cathedral and airport buses were very close to the hotel. The breakfast was plentiful and very good value. However, this hotel may not be for the light sleeper as there are bars etc in close proximity, some of which do not close until the early hours. This did not effect us as we enjoyed the atmosphere and ambience. Once again, the excellect staff made our stay very enjoyable.

Hotel is in a great location and near all the main tourist areas, and also shops, bars and restaurants. I was very disappointed about the staff at the hotel. On check-in, after waiting about 10 minutes as the receptionist typed on her computer, we eventually got our room keys. Staff were not very welcoming and did not tell us anything about the hotel, facilities, breakfast room or the Pool. When we got to the room, we found that we didnt have a bath-tub (which was why I booked that room), no robe and no slippers. Mini-bar was empty with a sign saying it was closed due to Covid safety. I have no idea what Covid safety has to do with it. No other hotel I was in in Spain has had excuse. Also, no water in the room. No sanitisers in the room either. When I called reception to enquire, she said she would send water up, and then we had to sign to pay 4 Euro for the bottle. Terrible service, how can a hotel not provide water to their guest. This is coming from an expensive 5 star hotel. On checkout it was as bad, but I couldnt wait to leave then. Checkout person had a phone to his ear the whole time, took our key cards, and the continued his call. No receipt, no 'goodbye', nothing. The room itself was very nice, but the sound proofing is absolutely awful. All we could hear each morning was the noise of doors banging, hoovers and we could even hear snoring from the room beside us. So you had no choice but to wake up early with all the noise. Also the air-con is terrible, we left it on the whole time, and the room was still very warm. It was only about 20 degrees outside, so I would hate to stay here in the miiddle of Summer. Total let down of a hotel, I would avoid it. I think alot of 5 star hotels have gotten lazy during Covid, but have no problem charging top prices.

The Albergue Seminario Menor is an old, historic place of lodging with both shared dorms and individual, private rooms. We stayed in the private rooms which are very small with a twin bed and a sink. Bathrooms and showers are shared. There is a small cafeteria in the basement as well. Although the rooms are austere, the seminary ambience was perfect for the end of our 200-mile Camino trek. Beware that the walk from the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela to the Albergue is uphill and takes 12-15 minutes.

Firstly can I just say the Receptionists, Susi, Andrea and Juan were so friendly and helpful. They are a complete asset to this hotel as there is no bar or lounge area, so their attentiveness is a must. The hotel itself is in a shopping centre on the outskirts of Santiago. The walk to the Cathedral and centre is probably about 30 minutes and a lot of that is uphill. If you don't think you can manage the walk, there are regular buses outside hotel and also a taxi rank. The room we were allocated was a suite ( thank you for upgrade). It was very large and had a sofa area and there was a jacuzzi bath too. The shower head which was in the bath pointed towards the opposite end of the bath so bracket could do with being changed but that said, the water was always hot. The heating in the room was on a hotel timer and the radiators only came on at about 7.45pm, so the room was cold if you were showering before then. Maybe the management can look into changing this in winter/ spring months to an earlier time? The housekeeping was great with fresh towels and cleaning daily.The breakfast was Continental style with a good selection. My only problem was that the lady who worked on service etc had a very unfriendly manner about her. I arrived at 10.25 am on Monday morning for a cup of tea and just to have a Danish.(Breakfast served until 10.30 am)She rudely informed me that they were closed and when I asked could I take a cup of tea to my room( in my own mug) she told me it would cost me €2!! Considering there are no hospitality trays in the rooms I found that to be ridiculous. She was the only member of staff that let this hotel down. Otherwise it's a very affordable, clean hotel to stay in when in Santiago de Campostela.

I stayed in the this Hotel due to unfortunate circumstances on a flight from Funchal to Manchester UK, resulting in Diverting to Santiago. I had a prolonged stay due to dealing with formalities with a Lady I was accompanying, and can only describe ALL the staff at this hotel as EXCELLENT. Nothing was too much trouble for them and their Kindness to the Lady I was travelling with was heart warming. Special thanks to Receptionist Eva Carracedo who was particularly helpful, going out of her way with translations and paperwork. I hope to stay here again for more pleasant reasons. 5 Starts to everyone Dr S

Chose this hotel as its away from the centre and the noise. The hotel is a 4 star, and an international feel to it. There is a parking just outside. A nice swimming pool in the sun and a good spa. The room is very big and the beds humongous. Good size wardrobes, mini fridge, big bathroom with no amenities. It needs a refurbishment but we found it good value for money. Good breakfast buffet

Cute, charming property, however the service was HORRIBLE. The owner even screamed at me! We were a group of 12 people walking the Camino. The first person of my group arrived by herself, and they didn’t want to send her a taxi as it was promised on the reservation. They said that they don’t send taxis for just one passenger, and this client Sofia, had to wait two hours for her parents to join her, and then, the hotel sent the taxi. She was by herself two hours in a restaurant without knowing what to do. The booking company never informed us that in order to receive a taxi a minimum of guests was required. The waiter at the restaurant at dinner times was distracted, mixing orders, and trying to convince one of my clients that he can’t take a Martini and a glass of wine at the same time! One or the other! Who cares! If the client pays for both drinks, the waiter is nobody to be judging a client’s drinking behavior. One of the guests requested salt three times for French fries, with no results. He finally went to another table to ask other hotel guests for the salt they had in their table. And I can continue for hours describing the lack of professionalism in this place. We are all Spanish speaking, therefore no language barrier. The owner, as I said, he was very arrogant and uneducated. I was talking to him, standing by his table, while he was eating cheese and bread. He never stopped eating and/or invited me to the table, and/or standing so he can be talking to me at the same physical level (basic rules of education); I addressed the taxi situation in addition to the fact that they left my luggage into another client’s room, making this totally inappropriate for them and for me. Can you imagine if there was something missing from our suitcase? Who is responsible? Well, this man said that it was this client’s fault to “accept” these suitcases into their room. Unbelievable!! He was one of these persons “My way or the highway.” Rooms have no AC, no elevator, and no phones! I had one towel only for two guests, and when I was in the shower, I noticed it and there was no phone to call the receptionist. The shower gel dispenser was empty. The room was not clean. When I addressed these issues to the lady in the morning at checkout (I am suspicious that she was his wife) she just said “Vale” (Ok) No apologies, she was not surprised, and she mentioned that if I wanted another towel, I should have used my cellular. I replied that making an international phone call to request a towel was totally unthinkable. Last, we were “lucky” to have the owner driving us back to the Camino. He never opened us the door, or the trunk; never helped with our luggage; he was comfortable seated by the wheel all the time. And he drove us super-fast to intimidate us. Terrible! Stay away from this place.
