Parador de Santiago de Compostela
Beautiful space absolutely with a Great breakfast too . Room was pleasant - although bed overly firm and the two pillows on my bed were super flat . Plaster in room could use some maintenance. Bathroom was surprisingly small ( room 119 ) with a shower tub combination that leaked a bit when shower ...

Hotel Praza Quintana
Excellent location next to the Cathedral. Lovely old building but modernized and well-maintained; clean and comfortable. A bit of luxury after a long Camino, including a tub to soak in! I would highly recommend staying here.
