About
This charming boutique hotel is right in the historic heart of Santiago de Compostela, just a 4-minute walk from the world-famous cathedral and the city’s Bonaval and Belvis parks. The welcoming Alda Algalia is in a historic townhouse which has been carefully converted into a stylish, intimate setting – ideal for a romantic visit to the Galician capital. Its interior blends contemporary furnishings and lighting with rustic bare stone walls and historic touches. After a day seeing the many local sights, guests can return to the Alda Algalia to enjoy a delicious meal in the hotel’s own restaurant, where they can sample traditional Galician cuisine made with fresh, seasonal produce.

The temperature in the rooms and the space
People shouting in the streets late at night
Staff was super nice! Room was also very spacious, breakfast was okay, location was great.
A little bit away from the heavy tourist area and a few hundred feet from the real people of Santiago.
No way to get coffee in the a.m. without buying the whole breakfast.
Close to everything. Nice & quiet. Good breakfast.
Close to food, stores and the cathedral
The location is good. The staff is fine although he wouldn't go above and beyond. The breakfast was OK considering the price and the fact they don't have a kitchen.
The hotel has high rate, but this doesn't mean much. I guess, this rate is obtain from people who don't expect much. I should've realize this considering the city. So, the fact that the hotel didn't meet my expectations is rather my fault. All in all, this is rather a hostel.
Great location, clean facilities
Tiny stuffy room; thin towels, paper cups only, uncomfortable bed, no coffee maker in room
Great location, rustic building and friendly staff.
Staff was wonderful and helpful. Triple room had plenty of space. Really great location. Short walk to the cathedral. Easy access to cafes, pastry shops, restaurants, etc.
Personnel and cleaness
Uncomfortable mattress
Perfect location in the heart of old Santiago close to cathedral and all. Lovely aesthetics, very well stocked breakfast. Great beds.
Great location.
There was no one to check us in when we got there. Had to do it over video phone. Very long slow process. Eventually got code to open lockbox to room where room card was said to be stored, but there was no room card. Another video call. Friends and I had booked 3 rooms. Took about an hour to check in. I wont use another hotel that is not staffed on premises.
I had a wonderful experience at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff was welcoming, professional, and always ready to assist with any request. The check-in process was smooth and efficient.
Really great location, very close to the cathedral and restaurants and bars. There’s also a bus to airport nearby. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The room is cleaned well every day during our stay. My child really loved it!
Maybe it was Friday night parties around the old town. It was a bit noisy then. Sunday night was much quieter.
The location is excellent. You are within walking distance to all the important parts of the town, to the bus station, and the various restaurants.The staff is fantastic and very helpful. They booked me a cab to the airport, as I had a very early flight. They gave me coins for the bus. I could go on and on. Awesome people. The room has character. Nice wooden floor, wooden shelves, etc. It has a historic air.
The bed was hard. I had a hard time sleeping because of this.
Location, very nice room and good value for money
Noisy. The city is quite alive during the night which is to be expected. There was a lack of acoustic insulation due to poor fitting of the windows and skylights. The equipment was good but the install was bad. very easy to fix with the right technician. Please note that the hotel supplied ear plugs with the toiletries :)
Highly recommend.Staff nice, polite and helpful.Great room.Perfect location.
Great location on edge of old city, quieter than other locations
good sized room, comfortable bed , in a convenient location in the old town
room was at the top level and required taking stairs after an elevatorthere was no AC which can be an issue in warmer months lots of late night noise (music and partying) from an undetermined location nearby
