hostal Nomade Santiago

Exceptional

Price is very much worth...

Liked: The room we had faced a busy alleyway but with the windows and shutters closed, it was perfectly quiet. The only noises came from patrons slamming the door shut downstairs. Downstairs is a bijou wine bar with the most exceptional tapas made by Nazare (spelling) chef - she was definitely Michelin* and creative with her tapas (mackerel ceviche, tomato salad with tomato ice cream, pulpo ). The room and bathroom were very clean and well presented and stocked with welcome goodies of water, juice and muffin. The room also had a good stash of coffee pods and green tea for the coffee machine. Definitely local to Santiago de Compostela and On the Caminho de Santiago route. Worth it even though a little pricey (light bulb needs changing on the staircase as it’s dark).
Disliked: Front door slams shut (rather than a quiet closure) - parents could be more considerate? Maybe perhaps the lack of light on the staircase - important when arriving late at night and leaving early morning …

Remote hosting with numerous tech...

Liked: The room was well decorated, the bathroom lovely and the beds comfortable. The location was central, being above a restaurant on the busiest pedestrian street in the city. The challenge was that this made it very noisy during the night (the room was on the street side), so ideally ear plugs should be used.
Disliked: This property has no available service, except via texting. The check-in is remote via an App and when issues arise, there is no one available to answer the problem except by WhatsApp text. Two days before arrival, and after payment was made, I received an email telling me to fill in the registration form on the "app" or I would not receive my access code. The app / link to app didn't work. I replied by email and received a delayed reply asking me to use WhatsApp and they would send the registration link. This worked. I was then given a code to enter the building but not the room - stating I could go to the App to get that on the day of arrival. As the App didn't work for me, I had to again ask that the code be sent via WhatsApp. Arrival was without problems. However, after returning from dinner that night at 23:00, the room code would not work. I called the service number and was told they did not speak English so please text my problem. I did and was told the room code had been changed for "security reasons" and to wait while they changed it remotely. It's not acceptable to be locked out of your room at 23:00 and only entry available if you text the remote host. Also to note that no breakfast is offered, contrary to the description. Coffee pods and stale muffins in plastic are left in the room only. Overall, despite the nice room and good location, I would not recommend this place, as it is possible to be locked out of your room, or to not obtain an entry code despite paying for the room. Remote hosting is not great, but if a host is going to do this, the obligation is on the host to make sure it works well not for the guest to scramble to gain access to a paid room.

Fantastic place to stay. Great...

Liked: Really nice and spacious room that has been renovated to high standards. Lots of space. Great bathroom. Large bed. Nice views. Fridge + snack facilities. Very comfortable and welcoming place to stay right in the middle of the main restuarant street in old town. Was not expecting it to be so nice - highly recommend as a place to stay.
Disliked: Nothing - was excellent overall. Only thing to deal with is access as it is in a pedestrian zone so need to carry bags a few hundred meters...but very small inconvenience and unavoidable
