Hotel Rua Villar

Top service, top location. Definitely recommend.

Reception is ver very nice and remembers you and your room number. They also recommended secret tourist point for us to take photo. Reception worth a pay raise since they are really the spotlight of the service.

Hotel is old but very cleaned and maintained well.

I stayed in a lovely cosy attic room which was pure bliss after 5 days of the Camino. The reception staff were super friendly and accommodating , letting me leave my rucksack there for the day and giving me tips for my next Camino. The location is so close to the cathedral too - the only suggestion I would have it to include some complementary water in the room.

I stayed at Hotel Rua Villar at the end of my Camino, and it was such a treat!
The hotel is very central, just a few steps from the Cathedral in a lovely street, and the room was beautiful and spotlessly clean.
The hotel provides a service of bed and breakfast, and the breakfast buffet has a wide choice of deliciously fresh food.
The staff really shines, as many other reviewers have pointed out: they are all friendly and helpful, both with practical things like luggage storage and assistance with taxis AND with the local knowledge to recommend places to visit or where to buy local products that you might want to take home as genuine souvenirs.
I can't recommend this hotel enough, and personally I will definitely stay there again if I am back to Santiago.

As with other reviews, the staff at this hotel are just so lovely and kind. We were there for three nights and we enjoyed being right in the cathedral area and in such a charming hotel.

Very nice hotel, friendly staff.
We arrived after midnight and was greeted with open arms from Martin, had no problems checking in. We were in room 304 was on the smaller side but I think that was their basic room, nice clean, updated, comfortable bed, super clean bathroom and quite.
We had breakfast there, small fee and selections, but good.
Located in the city center, suggest booking early.

Outstanding overall stay. The friendly staff is what really makes this place stand out. Every receptionist, cleaner and cafe worker I came across was exceptionally polite and helpful. 10/10

First class. Super location. Lovely building with excellent rooms. Quiet and relaxing, convenient for the cathedral, shops, park and market. The staff are excellent; reception, dining room and cleaning personnel were all super friendly, helpful, considerate and efficient. Highly recommended.

Next to the Cathedral a very beautiful clean hotel. Very friendly staff. Nearby you can find restaurants bars and shops.

We are Australians who have just completed the Camino de Santiago.This was our third stay at Hotel Rua Villar and our experience is always very positive. The staff are very kind, helpful and gracious, happy to share information about this beautiful city and the attractions available. Rua Villar has a unique understanding of the Pilgrim struggles after completing a Camino and everything possible is done to provide comfort, rest and refreshments. I am more than happy to recommend this hotel.

Staff are incredibly helpful, friendly and kind. Location unbeatable and even though it is very central, it's a very quiet street and we slept extremely well. Thoroughly recommend this hotel.

Staying here was such a nice way to spend my Camino journey. The staff are really lovely and go the extra mile to provide service. The breakfast was great, there was a good range of foods and a guide detailing allergens for each product. There was fresh barista coffees as well which was a treat. The churros were delicious, I was very excited to have them for breakfast before leaving Spain.
The rooms were very comfortable & clean. The hotels only a 2 minute walk from the cathedral which was perfect to ensure I made it to the 7.30am pilgrims mass! It also meant I was very close to the hotel to be able to see the live music in the square outside the cathedral. It was magical.
I definitely recommend staying here if you are in Santiago.

Lovely hotel with very helpful and wonderful reception staff. Comfortable rooms, next to the Cathedral so a better location you will not find.
Surrounded by restaurants and all the atmosphere of those finishing the Camino.
Ideal end to the Camino but book early as the hotel is very sought-after and booked, quite understandably . Thanks Cristina for all your help.

My friends and I arrived at Santiago at the end of February after at 30 day trip on the Camino. So we're looking for a nice place to stay and relax.
A friend recommended the "Hotel Rua Villar" and I am still so very happy that we stayed there!
The rooms and the whole building are super cozy, located in the middle of the old city of Santiago.
We didn't use the breakfast service so I don't have any opinion about this.
My special thanks goes to the lovely team that was so very friendly and caring.

If I have the chance I'd like to stay at this hotel again.

Really great place to stay after the el Camino de Santiago. The staff were so lovely and obliging - there's a 24/7 reception and everyone was only too happy to help. The bed was huge and very comfortable. The shower and room itself were very spacious. The location is excellent - close to everything. The churros in the morning were really good too! Highly recommend and would stay again.

The best service ever! The hotel is located just a few steps from the Cathedral, and that makes it very convenient. Rooms are spacious, and well maintained. Extremely clean. However , the best part of this small hotel is the superb service. Sandra did my check in late at night, with a big smile and the willingness to even carry my very heavy backpack through the stairs.

Everyone else is also amazing, helping with recommendations on what to do , where to go, etc.
I will stay at this hotel again next time when I come back to walk another part of the Camino de Santiago.

Literally behind the cathedral. Must park in an underground garage, which is a few minutes walk away and transport bags to hotel. They were very gracious. Front desk person walked us to the cathedral museum where we were meeting our tour guide. Breakfast option is worth it. They also keep your bags after check out so you can wait until you're ready to go to your car.

Such a beautiful hotel in an excellent location in the old town city center. The rooms are charming, cozy, and very clean. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Overall incredible experience. Great location, wonderful staff, and very nice accommodations. Probably the nicest hotel I have ever stayed in.

Fantastic experience at this hotel. While Google may show it as a 3 star, we definitely received the 5 star experience from the staff! 💪🏽 Very friendly, and Jose when we called was excellent in guiding us.
You can’t drive in and park, but who cares! The close walk is fun! BUT the location to the plaza and church is excellent and tons of great restaurants!!

Excellent stay, very helpful staff. We will be back.
