Pensión Rua Nova

Fantastic location spotlessly clean You could not get a better location. 2mins from cathedral, 5mins to market, surrounded by lovely cafes and restaurants but quiet road in comparison with nearby more tourist roads. Room was serviced every day and spotless! Looks newly renewed interior, bathroom etc and very comfortable. Room was compact but had everything I needed for my 5 night stay. Bathroom had plenty of space and all very well thought out. Be mindful on arrival that 1) if you catch the 1Euro bus from airport its a 20 minute uphill walk from the station bus stop. Its fine, but be ready 2) check in is at the sister hotel round the corner, so head for that 1st. The staff are really friendly and helpful -thank you Sandra! Checkout is at 12 and you can leave bags there. 3) the pension is on 3 floors with no lift. It's fine and I just took it slow getting the 20KG bag up and down. I would return to this accomodation every time!

great location is a perfect location, for visiting most of the monuments around, a few caffe and couple bars, definitely highly recommended

Clean, modern and lovely little rooms right in the heart of the city. Friendly and helpful welcome at the nearby hotel. There was a strange noise in the corridor at night (it sounded like something electronic) and unfortunately the heating control panel developed a fault and flashed with a green light all night….I really couldn’t work out how to reset it….so I didn’t sleep very well, but I’m guessing that’s not a normal occurrence.

Good Stay But..... Accessing the Pension is done through another location which is staffed. Our room was in a great location within old town Santiago de Compostela and very near the Cathedral. The room is very bare bones but clean with a good bed. We would have been perfectly happy with the room but for two things. There is a lot of noise well into early morning from passing drunks come from nearby bars. Also, my hearing aid charger was fried by a surge in the plug that I was using (you could visibly see the spark). This happened the night before we were scheduled to leave. I didn't recognize the problem with the charger until we were about to check out and leave Santiago. I emailed the Pension but I haven't heard from them.
