“Located steps from Santiago's Cathedral, this second-floor 'pension' offers an exceptional location and a warm welcome from its host, Maria Jesus. While guests should note the shared bathrooms and lack of elevator, its central location provides immediate access to the city's vibrant dining scene. I think it's a superb choice for travelers who prioritize location and hospitality in Santiago de Compostela.”
