Pensión da Estrela

Santiago de Compostela


There are just six smallish rooms here but they're bright, colourful and clean, and four overlook a quiet plaza. The welcome is friendly, with nice touches like neatly rolled towels and a bag of sweets, and there's a small kitchen with free tea and coffee.
