Hotel Rua Villar

Hotel Rua Villar is a 3-star hotel in Santiago de Compostela, in an 18th-century restored house 90 m from the Cathedral. The building retains its wooden beams and central skylight, and displays paintings by Miró and Tàpies. Its location on Rúa do Vilar makes it easy to explore the squares, churches and museums of the historic centre on foot.

The classically styled rooms have air conditioning, a private bathroom, free WiFi, a TV and a minibar. Options include a single room, a double room and a superior double room with a balcony and city views; the latter also has a sofa. The hotel offers a bar, breakfast in your room, a 24-hour reception, a lift and luggage storage. There is no parking at the property: the public car park at San Clemente is 100 m away. The street is pedestrianised, something to bear in mind when planning your arrival by car.
