By far one of the best hotel’s we’ve stayed in during our camino. After finishing our 11 day walk from porto,Altair hotel was such a lovely place to finally relax so glad we booked an extra 2 days. The staff are super friendly & make you feel really welcome. We had the room with a private terrace which was so nice to have the doors open on to the terrace. The breakfast is amazing all the hotels before had the usual breakfast frenzy waiting for the coffee machine but not at hotel Altair you are served at your table with a wonderful choice of fruit’s croissants toast meats & cheese & cereals great coffee & Santiago cake. If your scrolling review’s for other hotels in Santiago don’t waste your time. Stay here at hotel Altair I guarantee you wont be disappointed.

Beautiful building in a quiet part of town that’s still very close to everything. The sound insulating is great, you don’t hear any of the other rooms and the beds are really comfortable

One of the best hotels I stayed in while doing the Camino. Excellent room, friendly and helpful staff, and great breakfast. Five minute walk to the cathedral. Highly recommended! Photo is of the private patio of my room.

Amazing place, amazing people.
This hotel has a fantastic location, perfectly situated near the old city without being disturbed by the tourist hustle and bustle. The breakfast was a highlight, offering a delicious variety of hot and cold options, including fresh juice, breads, jams, and jamon.

Our room was surprisingly spacious and comfortable, and the hotel's stone and wood architecture is truly beautiful. What really makes this place special, though, is the staff. They are some of the most friendly and helpful people you'll ever meet, and they made our stay truly memorable. Thank you for everything!
