Hotel Universal

In the heart of Santiago de Compostela's old town, Hotel Universal sits within a short stroll of the city's main sights. The cathedral and Galicia Plaza are both under a ten-minute walk away, while the Fundacion Eugenio Granell and Toural Square are just 0.1 miles from the door. The leafy Parque da Alameda is three minutes on foot, the Cathedral Museum five, and the Mosteiro de San Martiño Pinario seven.

Guests can take advantage of complimentary wireless internet throughout the property, and the front desk staff can help arrange tours and tickets.

When hunger strikes, the hotel's own coffee shop and cafe is the place to be. A buffet breakfast is laid out every morning.

Practical touches include express check-out, free newspapers in the lobby, and a front desk that is staffed around the clock.

All 54 guestrooms come with free wireless internet, bathrooms fitted with shower and tub combinations plus hair dryers, and daily housekeeping. Desks are provided for those who need to catch up on work.
