Hotel Real Colegiata San Isidoro    

Convenient for centre, and parking for free.

Situation was good, we could easily walk into the centre of town etc. room was a good size. The beds were comfortable and it was all clean.

Instructions on how to access private road not given, even though we forewarned the hotel of our car number. Internet stated that "all rooms have a view of either roman wall or cloister - this was not the case. Went to reception who did change us to a cloister view but she said that not all rooms do have view. One of the female receptionists did not speak any English at all, which made getting directions very difficult. The light fitting above the beds had very sharp edges - my husband cut his head when he sat up in bed.

The hotel is steeped in history and takes advantage in every way to make you feel a part of the past while at the same time providing the comforts and amenities of today. Location fantastic for exploring and parking and accessibility unsually good for the situation.

Absolutely nothing!

Amazing hotel in historic monastery with fabulous art on the walls. When I checked in I could hardly believe I was staying here -it was like something I had visited earlier in my trip for 2 hours

Nothing

Convenient location just next to Cathedral and other sights. Friendly staff and very comfortable beds, well appointed rooms and calm atmosphere in a beautiful historic building. Free parking in courtyard too. Great food in the restaurant at a bargain price. Also a free tour of the building and adjacent chapel was very interesting.

A larger sign to the reception desk would be useful.

Wonderful location, fantastic old building tastefully converted. Beautiful and interesting city and being right in the heart was a great experience. Even late at night the atmosphere was good and not in the least intimidating.

The previous occupants of the building (monks) believed that redemption was found through suffering! That would explain the awful beds and pitiful pillows. What have the Spanish got against good bedding? The food in the restaurant was free; just as well really. No one would pay for such poor fare. In addition, the hotel entrance was poorly signposted and we found it by luck after a long search.

The hotel's surroundings are fabulous and the fact that there is secure parking is a bonus. The location is perfect

The staff was helpful and the room was very clean. I highly recommend this hotel.

This hotel is amazing and unique,we had a small suite and it was like staying in a place of living history. Breakfast was very good,the location is great for the historical centre and very close to the barrio for bars and places to eat at night. Free secure parking and free WifI completed a great package.

I like everything about this hotel

Exceptional property. The hotel was established about a year ago within the 16th c Colegiata of the 12th c San Isadora Church compound. The hotel rooms and common areas retain the simplicity and integrity of its original purpose with elegance and modern comfort. Dinner and breakfast were exceptional.

The building and location was amazing.

There was no hot water in the morning, and a pair of dirty boxer shorts under a piece of furniture!

Lovely room, excellent bed and bedding, very clean. Peaceful and quiet. Lovely breakfast and charming people.

There are no facilities to get a drink no minibar, no bar. There should be a facilities to mat least get a bottle of water. Difficult to locate even with a sat nav. Only one entrance available to the hotel in this walled city. The address needs to be notified to visitors.

we were welcomed back like old friends by the manager Rodrigo, who recognised us from last year. Our room was superb, more a suite, looking out on the wall of the Basilica complex. Our accumulated laundry from 8 days on the Camino was delivered back to us by early next morning. Breakfast superb- the fresh fruit gave us enough vitamins to face the long walk to Santiago! There is a wonderful serene atmosphere which reminds us we are in a working monastery, albeit the hotel side.

can't think of a thing

I can't just say enough of this place! Amazing! I think it actually is The memory from Léon for me. The hotel is the actual 11th century monastery turned into a hotel (be ready that the rooms are also actual monastery cells, so rather small but very comfy - and a part of the experience), so has those beautiful cloisters and full of antique furnitures, paintings, tapestries - pure marvel! Staff was very helpful and welcoming. They even had a free monastery guided tour for guests with yet more marvels to discover. I highly recommend!

The best value for money I ever seen in a hotel, stayed half-board. Fantastic location, 11th century historic building in the very centre, and - amazingly good restaurant, had a superb exquisite and well-served dinner there, already want to return there for a weekend.

The room is not that spaciuos (but really very good for the monastery building)

Housed in a beautiful historical building, with views over the cloisters and inner courtyard, from the room. Menu of the day in the hotel restaurant, was our best meal during our Camino walk, and great value as well! The young man who was the waiter, was very friendly and also very professional.

The reception people was extremeli helpful

Great location in the historic city centre - and with free parking. Wonderful old building, part hotel, part museum.

Understaffed (though all were very friendly). Our room, overlooking the city wall, suffered from traffic noise.

The location is good - everything of importance is within walking distance.

Difficult to find - the sign is for a museum which is through a gate and the hotel is beyond that. Our room was very small, also the bathroom with a strange shower without a curtain or glass so the floor got very wet.

The old building was unique in the centre of the city The staff were very friendly and the food was good

The atmosphere--you are immersed in history.

Nothing.

Great location in old city.

We loved the building and the whole atmosphere of it, and particularly liked the fact that it was still under the auspices of the canons and that the wonderful basilica was part of the building
