Jinghann 9/10

Would 10/10 recommend to someone else!mmend

Pros: Overall a very comfortable stay with an excellent view! I regret not booking 2 nights here and just enjoying the rooms and the service. Breakfast was excellent with a wonderful choice of coffee/tea/juice and pastries/bread, together with ham/eggs/jam and honey.

Cons: Not that I didn't like it, but be aware that there's a small tourist tax and booking.com doesn't reflect it on the overall price (the host tried to update booking.com but to little avail it would seem)

Rintala 9/10

Finland 🇫🇮

Pros: Great breakfast! Very unique hotel, great location.

Cons: Breakfast room had limited size, had to wait a bit. My room was on third floor and no elevator so if you have bad knees try to request a lower floor. Then again I had great view of the cathedral.

Perfect way to end the Camino

Pros: Best stay on the Camino. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful and were happy to hold my backpack for the day I checked out as I had a late flight. The breakfast is excellent and the rooms are spotless. I had the top floor single room with the view of the cathedral. Well worth the price.

Victoria 10/10

Spain 🇪🇸

Fenomenal

Pros: The host is very nice, they were cleaning our room when we got there and we left our luggage there by the reception counter. When we came back to check in, they have brought up our luggage to our room. The breakfast was fantastic.

Cons: Nothing, really. I liked it very much... maybe the bathroom was a little tiny but not a problem for me at all.
