The Casa da Balconada is a cute, boutique-like small hotel. Everything is clean to the detail, and the rooms are beautifully set. I had a room with a balcony, and great views of the cathedral. The staff is polite and supportive. Perfect for staying in a peaceful environment and, at the same time, very convenient to explore restaurants, historic places, religious monuments.

The perfect location
The hotel has a perfect location in the middle of the historic centre. The reception on arrival was friendly and clear. Our room, and bathroom, were small but nicely furnished and the bed very comfortable. Both rooms really need a couple of hooks though for towels, coats etc. My only complaint would be the smell of smoke from the ‘smoking area’ of the reception, and the perfumed air freshener that didn’t hide it. But, I would definitely stay here again. Breakfast isn’t provided, but plenty of delicious breakfasts available a few steps away.

Loved staying here. After the Camino, this was the perfect place to have a bit of space to myself. Perfectly located in the heart of everything. Would stay here again next time I’m back in Santiago! Check in was convenient and easy to communicate via WhatsApp. They were super helpful is arranging a taxi to get to the airport as well.

Sleepless in Santiago
Great position near to the Cathedral, bars and restaurants but as a result the rooms were very noisy until 4.00am with people shouting and singing outside even with the window shut. The ticket which we were given for the car park discount was not valid when we tried to redeem it.

Nestled in the historic Santiago, this place offers a vibrant and convenient stay, with its prime location within walking distance of Santiago Cathedral and other main attractions. The dining experience is a highlight, showcasing local seafood that enrich the stay. The staff's warmth and efficiency enhance the overall experience. However, guests should be aware that the house central location exposes it to the lively nightlife, particularly on Saturdays, which might disrupt the sleep of light sleepers.

This place was a phenomenal end to our Camino journey! Just steps from the catedral. The host, Christina, was so helpful throughout our stay (she helped us bring up our suitcases, gave us great recommendations, and organized two early morning taxis for us, etc.). My dad and I loved every part of this stay and would absolutely come back.

Casa da balconada Sweet little place practically next door to the cathedral. Just six rooms on three floors. Cristina, the owner and amazing one-woman operator of this fairly-recently renovated mini hotel, manages to keep things running smoothly. The rehab of this ancient edifice was done with style and panache while attaining the most efficient usage of square inches/centimeters seen on land. If you want to be near all of the tourist action of the casco viejo, you can’t find a better location. Each floor of Casa da Balconada has two rooms. We spent the first two of our four nights in the front room facing the street. It was a Friday and Saturday and things got boisterous at times out on the street. We moved to the back twin-bedded room facing an internal patio, and it was perfectly quiet. The beds are comfortable, the heating and the Wi-Fi worked well. And Cristina was a charming attentive hostess. If you are not young and fit the steep narrow stairs to the three floors could be a challenge. We are not young, but we are fit, and the stairs were not a problem for us. Highly recommend Cristina’s Casa da Balconada.
