Plan your stay at Casa da Balconada

Guest house in Santiago de Compostela, 110 m from the Cathedral, with a garden, terrace and double rooms with a balcony or views of an inner courtyard.

Room types

Casa da Balconada offers two double rooms for up to two people, with a private bathroom, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and soundproofing. The main differences are the outlook and outdoor space: the room with a balcony measures 15 m² and combines views of the garden, the city and places of interest, while the standard option with two beds measures 16 m² and opens onto an inner courtyard via a terrace.

The first has a double bed; the second, two single beds. Both include toiletries, towels, a hairdryer and wooden or parquet flooring. The standard room also has a sofa, which distinguishes it from the Double Room with Balcony. The two categories offer distinct views, either outdoors or onto the inner courtyard, as well as separate sleeping arrangements for their occupants.
