Absolutely delightful! I almost drove by at first because I didn't believe the hotel was really in that ancient building. But the interior is very modern with all the amenities. Very comfortable room, and very convenient to sightseeing at the cathedral. The staff were also very eager to provide a map and give a rundown of where all the restaurants... More

This hotel is an old convent renovated in a very interesting way where an effort was made to respect the old architecture of the building, at least in my non-expert opinion.

Our room was clean, spacious and comfortable. The furniture and styling is a bit... More

For one thing, it is only a few hundred yards from one of the world's most spectacular cathedrals, the Camino pilgrims' destination, the home of the presumed remains of the great Apostle, St James. Secondly, it was reputedly established by the great Saint Francis of Assisi, which gives... More

Coming from a Catholic family, the idea of staying in a convent caused us to giggle...but stepping into the San Francisco Hotel Monumento took our breath away. I was traveling with my father and two sisters, and Santiago was the last stop on a vacation through Portugal and northern Spain. The ambiance of the mystical, ancient city was a perfect... More
