“Hotel Altair strikes me as a particularly well-run small hotel, where the staff genuinely cares. Its location is excellent for exploring Santiago de Compostela, yet it offers a quiet escape. The Japanese-inspired design adds a layer of serenity that you wouldn't expect, and the breakfasts clearly showcase local artisan fare.”
