Hotel Virxe da Cerca by Pousadas de Compostela

Room was large and comfortable and clean. The main building and bar area were very nice. Breakfast was good. There is a lovely garden area which the bar and breakfast area open into. A nice spot to sit outside for a drink. The staff were exceptional with excellent restaurant recommendations, they knew which ones were open on what days, which was great. We were there on a Monday and Tuesday so some were closed. There was paid parking conveniently a few meters behind the hotel. Location is great, cross the street and climb a few steps and you are at the old market. From there only a few minutes walk to all of the main sites such as the cathedral and old town. Would definitely stay there again.

I really did like this fantastic hotel right at the old city wall, staff were great, food was great, garden with its bird aviary is a lovely place to relax.. Safe off street parking is shared with a sister hotel to the rear , access via side lane to hotel.

The room was very comfortable with a lot of lovely touches to make the stay more comfortable like free toiletries and tea & coffee making facilities. The room was spotlessly clean and the little terrace outside the room with a table and chairs was a real bonus. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel also has a beautiful little library and places where you can sit in comfort, as well as a bar and a breakfast room The breakfast was very good and plentiful.

I loved everything about this hotel from the moment we arrived (after midnight due to a delayed flight) to find the exquisite door locked as the person on reception had nipped away (loo?) The ambiance is wonderful. The woodwork exceptional. The decor charming. The location perfect for old town and the newer city. Staff were mostly fantastic ( don't think one of the breakfast chaps liked me but can't blame him). The food was fresh. Not sure vegetarians are catered for as eggs on hot tray with bacon for breakfast and evening snack facility included 'vegetable' sandwiches (as labelled) but they contained tuna, 'vegetable salad' also with tuna and to cap it off 'vegetable soup' with chorizo! I'm not outraged, just extremely amused and slightly less overweight. The wine is great! Beds were comfortable enough (why no duvet covers???). The room was unique and beautiful and completely to my taste. The bathroom had a bath (not full sized but still welcome) with a powerful shower over. The fan in the bathroom didn't work (should I care?) The tea tray was adequate. The cleaning service was amazing. The view was unique and exceptional. Social rooms were characterful and peaceful. Did I mention the exquisite woodwork!!! The vibe / atmosphere was safe, kind and welcoming.
