Hotel Pazo de Altamira

Our stay in this hotel was a real disappointment, we’re currently sitting in the airport, waiting for our flight home, irritated, tired, with a general sense of dissatisfaction. Last night we barely slept, firstly we were woken by a group of teenagers shouting in the foyer at around 11.30. This went on for a prolonged period without any intervention from hotel staff. When this finally stopped, the noise from the street picked up. Despite having all the windows and shutters closed, the noise was unbearably loud. The room was totally un sound proofed, the street noise (partying, shouting and street cleaning) continued unabated until around 5am. To add to our insomnia, the room also had a harsh white light above the door which couldn’t be switched off. The room itself was also less than ideal, firstly the door looked like it had been repeatedly broken into. There was an obsolete electronic lock hanging off the door and a number of holes in the door. The TV in the room seemed to date from the late 90s and appeared to only have four channels. The walls had various scuffs and stains, it was a bit pokey and there were no facilities for making hot drinks. There was also no indication that the tap water was drinkable. Breakfast was pretty limited but ok quality.The staff at the hotel were really lovely, helpful friendly and kind. All in all though, our stay was disappointing and I wouldn’t return or recommend a stay here.

Really well located hotel in the old town and right by the market. Amazing food but if you want to eat in the restaurant in the evening you need to book. Clean bright, comfortable rooms and incredibly helpful and friendly staff

There is not much to choose from amongst hotels (or restaurants) in Santiago de Compostela. The Hotel Pazo de Altamira was pretty basic, but comfortable and convenient. I did enjoy dinner at the hotel restaurant (Cafe de Altamira); breakfast was ‘not bad’. Service was friendly and efficient.
