Casas Reais Boutique

Super great location. Was able to pull up off the street - basically on the sidewalk - and unload our luggage. Also could keep the luggage in the bar area in the morning so we did not have our luggage to the car. Parking lot reasonable close. 17.30 Euros per day. Our room was lovely - well decorated, super clean, with a nice bathroom and huge TV. The only draw back was the noise outside was super loud (lots of people - drunk?) - talking with occasional shouting until almost 5:00 AM. Was it because it was a Saturday night? We were very tired, so it didn’t keep us awake that much, but might have been annoying.

Laundry was next door and location was excellent. Also enjoyed their massage chair a couple of times.

Clean room, helpful staff, excellent location. It would have been nice to get a discount for parking.

Great stay.

LOCATION: Situated within the Centro Histórico, Hotel Casa Reais is a 7-min walk from the Catedral de Santiago de Compostela, Hospedería San Martín Pinario, Mercado de Abastos, Praza da Inmaculada, and an 8-min walk from Praza das Platerías and Praza do Obradoiro. STAFF: Helpful, but no 24-hour reception. We were arriving at 8pm, and were sent a message saying reception would close 30 mins ahead of that. I requested the receptionist to wait for us. He kindly did. ROOMS & AMENITIES: Housed in an interesting building, with traditional covered balconies/galerías of Galícia, but suffers from some bad design: the flimsy open shelves in our room were placed directly in front of a large wall-mirror (obstructing the mirror, and – worse – rendering it a hazard in case of a crash). while we were out, the tray with kettle and cups was placed on one of the shelves, our clothes hanging right over it. the beds were freshly made ahead of our arrival, but there was a strand of hair on top of the white linen. the bathroom had no space for a normal-sized sink: the floor around the sink got wet every time one washed one’s hands in the sink. BREAKFAST: A breakfast one can pass up on. The receptionist kindly told us about 2 good cafés nearby: Café Cáscara and Café Adèlia. ACCESSIBILITY: Casa Reais’s greatest strength is its proximity to the Catedral. The hotel is a short distance from the train/coach station, and further away from the airport.
