“I was particularly struck by this hotel's singular blend of historic charm and modern comfort. Its gardens are a genuine treat, especially rare for a city-center stay, and a testament to its past as an archbishop's residence, just a short walk from the Cathedral; the market's proximity also stands out, offering a direct connection to local Galician life. The service exudes a warmth and attention to detail that makes the building feel like a real home.”
