At Casa da Balconada, reviewers highlight a superb old-town location steps from Santiago’s cathedral, exceptionally kind and helpful hosts, compact yet comfortable rooms, and generally clean, well-presented spaces with charming historic character and some thoughtful touches.
Light sleepers report late-night street noise and cathedral bells, particularly in street‑facing rooms. Access involves steep, narrow stairs and there is no elevator, which can be difficult with heavy bags or limited mobility. A few guests noted small bathrooms, occasional maintenance or supply issues, and limited in-room amenities. Expect a cozy, characterful base best for travellers who can handle stairs and don’t need absolute quiet.

Pros: next to the cathedral, area is very safe and clean, room is modern/updated and clean, and staff is very friendly and helpful Cons: next the cathedral (bell tolls every 30 mins), you need to walk and carry all you luggage/gear in and out, no elevator (but staff will carry your luggage/gearupstairs good luck getting it down.

The hotel has a perfect location in the middle of the historic centre. The reception on arrival was friendly and clear. Our room, and bathroom, were small but nicely furnished and the bed very comfortable. Both rooms really need a couple of hooks though for towels, coats etc. My only complaint would be the smell of smoke from the ‘smoking area’ of the reception, and the perfumed air freshener that didn’t hide it. But, I would definitely stay here again. Breakfast isn’t provided, but plenty of delicious breakfasts available a few steps away.

Casa da balconada Sweet little place practically next door to the cathedral. Just six rooms on three floors. Cristina, the owner and amazing one-woman operator of this fairly-recently renovated mini hotel, manages to keep things running smoothly. The rehab of this ancient edifice was done with style and panache while attaining the most efficient usage of square inches/centimeters seen on land. If you want to be near all of the tourist action of the casco viejo, you can’t find a better location. Each floor of Casa da Balconada has two rooms. We spent the first two of our four nights in the front room facing the street. It was a Friday and Saturday and things got boisterous at times out on the street. We moved to the back twin-bedded room facing an internal patio, and it was perfectly quiet. The beds are comfortable, the heating and the Wi-Fi worked well. And Cristina was a charming attentive hostess. If you are not young and fit the steep narrow stairs to the three floors could be a challenge. We are not young, but we are fit, and the stairs were not a problem for us. Highly recommend Cristina’s Casa da Balconada.

It’s a nice quiet little pension house just steps from the Cathedral. Those with issues might find the stairs to get to the room difficult to negotiate. We did not have a problem. Beds were so comfortable especially after our Camino. The lobby and sitting area on the first floor are so cute! I would definitely stay here whenever I’m in the area.

Great position near to the Cathedral, bars and restaurants but as a result the rooms were very noisy until 4.00am with people shouting and singing outside even with the window shut. The ticket which we were given for the car park discount was not valid when we tried to redeem it.

This is a great location however, if you have a room facing the street be prepared for loud revelers until early morning! The spiral staircase to access the rooms is very difficult to get luggage up and down. The staff was very helpful.

The Casa da Balconada is a cute, boutique-like small hotel. Everything is clean to the detail, and the rooms are beautifully set. I had a room with a balcony, and great views of the cathedral. The staff is polite and supportive. Perfect for staying in a peaceful environment and, at the same time, very convenient to explore restaurants, historic places, religious monuments.

There were not shampoo and soap in the dispenser, I had to call to claim them to bring some. Water went out of the shower, I had to use the towels to dry the flor. For price the room and bathroom are very small, also no coffe in the loby nor in the room. No closet for cloth - very uncomfortable for the price.

We really enjoyed staying at this property. The hotel itself is full of charm and personality. We stayed in a room with a balcony, and we loved it. The employees are very kind and there were umbrellas for us to borrow in the rain. We would absolutely stay here again. The location was amazing with the main cathedral very, very close and good food and shopping options all around. Our main gripe with the place is that we struggled sleeping. The toilet in the room was making a lot of noise at random times. The windows and door are not very sound proof and we could hear conversations on the street outside and in the hallways of the hotel. Make sure you bring earplugs.

He was very nice and came running up the stairs when he heard me stumble and spill a coffee. He even offered to go buy me another one which was very kind. And he arranged a taxi for us and helped with our bags. It was so nice to meet him and he made our stay so enjoyable and memorable.

It's literally right around the corner from the cathedral. Christina was friendly and super helpful. We were staying for 3 nights. The original room was a bit small for relaxing and working. They moved us to a bigger room. (Which didn't have a balcony) which was more comfortable for the 2 of us just hanging out enjoying Spain!

Outstanding central location in the old town, steps from the cathedral and close to restaurants and sights. The trade-off is frequent late-night street noise and cathedral bells that can disturb sleep.

Centric. Close to the Cathedral and a great finish to the Camino. But the real differentiator is the staff attentions. They guve all the info and recommendations you are looking for to get the most of your end goal when finishing the Camino de Santiago. Really recommneded.

This is a great location however, if you have a room facing the street be prepared for loud revelers until early morning! The spiral staircase to access the rooms is very difficult to get luggage up and down. The staff was very helpful.

Nestled in the historic Santiago, this place offers a vibrant and convenient stay, with its prime location within walking distance of Santiago Cathedral and other main attractions. The dining experience is a highlight, showcasing local seafood that enrich the stay. The staff's warmth and efficiency enhance the overall experience. However, guests should be aware that the house central location exposes it to the lively nightlife, particularly on Saturdays, which might disrupt the sleep of light sleepers.

This property is within 5 minutes of the Cathedral and plaza! Close and convenient to food, historical sites, and laundry. The staff were very kind and helpful and they had the most comfortable beds we had slept in across Spain! The one warning I would give is that like most European hotels, there is not an elevator. Fantastic location!!

The location in the historic district of Santiago de Campostela was perfect for exploring the area. The staff was so helpful in suggesting activities and dining options. They brought my luggage up to my room and back down, scheduled a taxi for me to get to the train station when I left, and were so kind to me. I would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful staff. Great advice on where to buy artisanal cheese and fresh bread, and where to buy a coffee. Helpful with getting our luggage to our room, and helped us plan our travel to Sarria.

The Casa da Balconada is a cute, boutique-like small hotel. Everything is clean to the detail, and the rooms are beautifully set. I had a room with a balcony, and great views of the cathedral. The staff is polite and supportive. Perfect for staying in a peaceful environment and, at the same time, very convenient to explore restaurants, historic places, religious monuments.

The hotel has a perfect location in the middle of the historic centre. The reception on arrival was friendly and clear. Our room, and bathroom, were small but nicely furnished and the bed very comfortable. Both rooms really need a couple of hooks though for towels, coats etc. My only complaint would be the smell of smoke from the ‘smoking area’ of the reception, and the perfumed air freshener that didn’t hide it. But, I would definitely stay here again. Breakfast isn’t provided, but plenty of delicious breakfasts available a few steps away.

Our stay was short but lovely, so close to the cathedral! Cristina was wonderful and gave us a restaurant recommendation we really enjoyed. She arranged a taxi for us as well so we didn't have to worry about that.
