Hotel Real in Santiago de Compostela

The best things about this hotel are the location and excellent breakfasts at the cafe just next door that can be included in your rates. The hotel itself is very expensive for what it is. The rooms are very worn, with thin beds, some working curtains and some not, a bit more mold and grime in the bathroom than I would have liked and to top it off, there was no one at reception our entire stay except the first afternoon. The young guy was very nice and super helpful- but we only saw him there then, when we checked in. At the end, we just left our keys on the desk when we left in the morning as we weren't exactly sure what to do with them. The bathrooms had pieces of the faucet missing and the tiniest of showers and with no where to place your shampoo/soap etc and no room to bend/stoop down to pick anything up on the shower floor. I've been in phone booths larger. You have to shower in parts so you can open the door and put the shampoo and soap outside so you can actually scrub yourself clean as there was no room at all. I think the hotel is trying but needs a bit a work to bring it up to par.
