Josephine
Loved the hotel property. Spacious room, great design. Walkable to main sights.
Mercedes
Everything was great!
Wendy
We had the BEST stay here. The staff is absolutely amazing. They take care of your needs and wants. They will set up taxi rides for you and offer help in any way they can. The breakfast is wonderful!! We loved our room, too. The room can be a little warm on warm days, just a heads up. Highly recommend this hotel.
Jorge
Clean room, friendly staff, delicious breakfast and great location
Hannah
Our stay could not have been better. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and tucked away in a convenient and walkable but quiet part of town. Everything you need is within a ten minute walk. The staff were so friendly and helpful. We will be back!
Kristin
Excellent location, very comfortable and modern, delicious breakfast
Kathleen
The staff at Altäir were next level! They went above and beyond to help us with everything from a smooth check-in, to travel assistance for the train, bus and airport as well as taxis. They recommended excellent restaurants and were just so friendly and welcoming. Our room was unbelievably large with wood ceilings and stone walls. And the bathroom was roomy with wonderful soap and lotion amenities. It was centrally located just outside of the busy old town but within a 5-10 min walk to the Cathedral. Would definitely stay again when visiting Santiago.
Alexandra
The staff at the Hotel Altair were outstanding! Every request was met with a smile. The property is beautifully designed and well maintained. We will return to this hotel! Special thanks to Patricia and Alba.

This hotel is just outside the historic district so it is perfect if you want to see shop and eat in the historic district but want something a little quieter at the end of the day.

The compact but clean and comfortable single room with shower and BATHTUB was all I needed after 30 days on the Camino.

Altaïr Hotel is a 5-⭐️ hotel.
Staff, room, breakfast, and dinner recommendations of Altaïr Hotel staff are the best we have experienced in Spain and Portugal in our travel so far. We will come back next year in our next journey of Camino de Santiago.
Jane
This is a beautiful hotel run by very pleasant people. It’s location is ideal for visiting all of Santiago’s old town.. wonderful breakfast and small shops around the corner, including bakery and small restaurants. Very clean and tranquil.
Janine
Very pleasant hotel and staff, welcoming, restful, quiet, very nice breakfast options, comfortable beds, and convenient location for visiting the cathedral,
Michael
Walking distance to the main points of interests, parking 5 minutes walking, nice breakfast and price is very reasonable. Like the place and really enjoy the staff
Kirill
A great cozy hotel
Our stay at Altair Hotel was excellent. The location is very convenient, the hotel sits just on the edge of the old town, so it’s very walkable to anywhere in the city. It is also very quiet. The room was very comfortable, the breakfast was plentiful and delicious, the service was beyond reproach. Many thanks to all the ladies working at the reception and the kitchen special, especially to Teresa who does an outstanding job and was super helpful for us.
Fiona
Really lovely hotel in the centre of town. Great value breakfast. Highly recommend.

Verified traveler
Very nice hotel with wonderful staff. Very convenient for walking to the city sites. Rate 4.7
Grahame
The property was lovely. It was clean, the room was nice. However, unfortunately the air conditioning was not working, because of the lower temperature in Santiago. Coming from the UK, it was extremely hot and so we needed the window open. This then caused issue with noise. The window in front of us allowed us to hear each cobble on the road as cars drove down and garbage men throughout the night. The window on the right, some form of unit which kicked in every 15 minute or so with a loud buzzing noise…so while lovely, I didn’t sleep for the majority of the time. The proximity to the town is excellent, and maybe if we had the windows closed, it would have been perfect.
John
Close to the Cathedral and local transport links. Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean, airy and welcoming. A lovely boutique hotel.
Emily
Good location with everything very walkable. Accommodations were well appointed, clean, safe and convenient. The real gem at this hotel is the staff, especially Teresa! Complete, authentic hospitality. Very knowledgeable about area and willing to go above and beyond for the guest.
Thomas
Very attentive and helpful staff who made us feel welcome. The room was great but the lobby area was very grand and gave a smallish hotel a luxurious feel.
Angela
Very nice and centric hotel :)

Rustic yet modern decor. Very helpful staff. The breakfast is really fantastic. The only tiny improvement that could be made would be softer bed pillows. Highly recommended hotel.
Mary
Boutique hotel with comfort and welcoming vibe.
Convenient to Obradoirio Square and Cathedral. Also well positioned for Airport bus if like me you use the L6A. Breakfast was thoroughly enjoyable, delicious and more than ample.
Staff so kind and welcoming as well as informative. Will return and recommend. M

Kevin
Outstanding hotel
This hotel is excellent. It is in a beautiful building with a hilltop view. Central location within walking distance from all the major attractions in town. The staff are friendly and helpful. Parking overnight on the street outside is free but you will need to move the car during the day. Parking spots are also difficult to find. All in all this is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at, and I travel often.
Chris
I love this hotel!
This hotel is perfect! Amazing style, comfort, architecture, location, breakfast, and staff. Fantastic shower and a very comfortable bed. What else can you ask for?
Verified traveler
Very nice hotel. Great location. Only issue is that the shower has only a half door which allows water to get on the floor no matter how careful you are. It has damaged the wood door trim. Rest of the hotel and room was perfect.
Jan
Great value and great room.
Great hotel. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was very good. Good location, just about a 5-6 minute walk to the center and most sights.
Mary Jo
Exceptional Historic Hotel
Excellent hotel with nice sized rooms and comfortable beds. Teresa was so friendly and helpful during our stay. Only negative was the air conditioning. They had switched to heat and so we had to sleep with the windows open. The fresh air was wonderful, but the noise from people staying up all night made it a bit difficult on the weekend night. Great location near old town and several good restaurants.

Gem of a boutique hotel in the perfect location
A really comfortable little hotel with very friendly staff who go out of their way to make sure everything is good for the guests. The breakfast is worth having too: like everything else there, lots of little touches make very good become excellent.

Well-placed, wonderful staff, nice rooms and bed. The A/C fan was a bit weak.
Rachel
Our stay in Santiago de Compostela
This is an amazing hotel in a great location, just a short walk to the cathedral. The reception team are amazing and so helpful (we left a mobile phone in Madrid and they helped us with a courier to deliver this to the hotel in Santiago).
The breakfast is also great, fresh local toasted bread, iberico ham, local cheese, toasted croissants...all great produce that is fresh and with table service.
I wouldn’t hesitate to stay at this hotel again, incredibly stylish, clean and well presented.

Very nice bedroom (nice design with old stone walls and balcony) and breakfast area/lobby. Staff are very helpful with tourist advice and taxi bookings. Great location a few steps outside the city centre. Only a couple of negatives - AC stopped cooling after midnight for some reason so this affected our sleep. Also, towels need updating, a bit old and thin. Otherwise, it was a perfect stay.

Fantastic experience at the Altair, we were contacted before arrival to confirm our check in time and they then got a room ready early for us. The room itself was extremely large and extremely clean, with a huge bed that appeared to be two queens joined together. Minibar prices were cheap and the room looked very recently renovated, with a lovely combination of wood and exposed brick. Also provided us a kettle and boarding pass printing without charge. Lovely staff.

Lovely, central, friendly hotel.
A lovely stay at Hotel Altaïr. It is a very nicely done hotel, rooms are a good size, comfortable, nicely decorated, and a clean, modern en-suite bathroom.
The staff were all friendly, cheerful, and very helpful.
Location ideal - just a few minutes walk and you’re at the heart of the old town, but it’s also enough on the edge of the old town that it’s quiet. I would definitely recommend staying here, and would happily return for another stay.

Excellent choice with lovely staff
Great hotel with lovely staff. Room was decent size with good bathroom. We would have appreciated a coffee maker but not a major issue. Breakfast is extra but excellent and freshly prepared. Location is really good for exploring but remember this is a hilly area so usually uphill back to hotel.

The Altair is close to the center of Santiago, but is on a quiet block. Facilities are modern, clean, and well-managed. I would definitely book here again.

We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Altair as the staff was very accommodating and provided a city map and recommendations for dining and sightseeing in Santiago de Compastala.
Our room was small but totally updated with a good shower and WiFi. My only recommendation if you’re staying on the weekend is to request a room in the back of the hotel, as it was a little noisy out front around 3a.m. With people returning from an evening out. Other than that it was a good hotel with an excellent breakfast for only about 8 euros which we were not charged that much as we did not order a full breakfast which included meat, cheeses, fruit, juice coffee pastries and excellent home made bread.

A small gem
This is simply a wonderful, small, hotel. Its a renovated older building where the renovation was really well done. Lobby is like a living room and the overall look of the place is great. Staff are truly interested in helping: when I noted that I had to leave early on my last day, they offered to open kitchen early (Sadly I was leaving too early for that to work.)
Breakfast was a true bargain. Not the usual hotel buffet, it was brought to the table with presentation that would have done the Four Seasons proud. Location is on the far side of the cathedral (as in non-tourist area) but the walk to what you want is 5 minutes.
Would return in a minute.

Absolutely wonderful boutique hotel. The staff were extremely helpful, going well above and beyond on several occasions with very personal service. The breakfasts were fulsome with very generous portions. I felt very at home and didn’t want to leave. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel.

Lovely hotel on edge of old town
A lovely hotel on the edge of the old town, about 5 mins walk from the Cathedral. Modern interior, but with character. Lots of wood finishes. Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice breakfast with lovely bread and jams.

Great location and staff.
Great location and very friendly and helpful staff. Being a city centre, there was no hotel car park but a discount was available for a nearby garage.
Melanie
Great boutique hotel
Great location, easy to reach the centre but a short walk which meant the area was nicely away from the hustle and bustle. Friendly staff, clean and comfortable room. We would stay again.

Antia or Altia, the lady on reception was exceptional. All her advice was spot on. Great location and lovely city.

Highest recommendation! This hotel is a jewel. We absolutely loved it. In addition to the condition, amenities, etc. which I have rated excellent, the staff was wonderful. Every one of the four staff we encountered was excellent and accommodating. One with whom we dealt with the most was so helpful to my wife who speaks Spanish, but is not expert. The hotel is beautiful - tasteful modern design in an old building. The hotel is small and intimate. It is located in a quiet residential neighborhood within steps of restaurants and the old section. Breakfast was optional but looked good. We did not take it as we are light eaters. We found a small cafe right around the corner. Small grocery nearby - on the way in to the old section.We did not have a car and i recall reading that someone said the hotel's recommended parking was tricky to find [but GPS solves that], but at least one could drive up to the hotel to unload bags [not true of hotels deep within the old district]. We took a cab from the airport which incidentally is a fixed price to anywhere in the area for 21 Euros. In all of our travels anywhere, this hotel is one of our very top favorites.

Beautiful small hotel in the city center
Great location, this is a small hotel in what used to be an old house about two hundred years ago. Recently remodeled with great taste, very nice combination of stone and wood. The room is very spacious and comfortable and the location is great, within walking distance to everything in Santiago de Compostela. The staff is great, really friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed my stay in this city and this hotel.
Alan
Great hotel, friendly and knowledgeable staff’ very good location.
Howard
Excellent design, quiet and great location
A combination of excellent bespoke design, using the fabric of the centuries-old building to great effect, and great service in a very quiet but nonetheless central area.
