Having finished our Sarria - Santiago Camino walk, our stay of 4 days at the Costa Vella was a perfect conclusion to the trip. Peaceful, located only a few minutes away from the Cathedral, the garden is an oasis of calm, yet buzzing with chatter on sunny evenings. The breakfast is incredibly good value, fresh zumo naranja, bread, coffee -... More

What a nice place! If you have walked the Camino or are just visiting then this is the place to relax & soak up the wonderful atmosphere of Santiago. Have breakfast in the back garden or just sit out there with a book, glass of wine & cigarette (I'm trying to give up). Jose, the manager, told me his family... More

We stayed here one day only - but what a great stay. The English speaking staff went out of their way in their kindness and willingness to help us - with parking, luggage and good advice. The room facing the garden was wonderful. Breakfast served in the first floor dining room was most enjoyable. In short - if you go... More

I stayed at the Hotel Costa Vella on my last day of the Camino de Santiago. If you want a fancy hotel with elevators, this is not the place for you. But if you want cozy, quaint, beautiful place to relax in after a long day and excellent service, this is the place to go. Very charming place and the... More

Just returned from 3 days at the Costa Vella. The service was fabulous and always downplayed by the staff - they really appreciate the business in an environment when they have lost the vast majority of their domestic trade. They almost entirely rely on non-Spanish customers now. The breakfast was wonderful and the wait staff literally ran to get your... More

Found this terrace bar by accident. It is just at the top of the hill from the San Francisco Hotel Monumento. You could walk past entrance. Do not. Just to sit in the garden under the vines with an expresso is all you need. The small fountain adds to the good feeling.

Hotel Costa Vella is at the top end of the budget category for this region, but its charm and convenient location make it worth it. My comfortable single was about 60 euros = 80 USD including tax but not breakfast. It is located at the north edge of the old town at the former Porta de Pena. If you are... More

This hotel is comfortable,pretty and part of the local community. We stayed five nights and were made so welcome I even got a farewell kiss from the manager! We had a large, very quiet room on the top floorand also enjoyed the sunny bar and breakfast areas which overlook the garden area which is very sheltered and attractive. A large... More

This hotel is in a lovely old building has super staff and is in a great location.It also has a nice little garden and terrace.The breakfast was superb and nothing was too much trouble.I would say however that it was quite noisy, the bed was too small and the bathroom needed an upgrade.Was good value for money though.

This hotel is well located. It is very close to all the main sights (the cathedral is less than five minutes away on foot) yet despite this, the area were it is situated is quiet and peaceful. There are plenty of good restaurants in its vicinity. The hotel staff is extremely friendly and helpful. They will gladly answer any question... More
