    Location was 10 mins from Cathedral also walking distance from bus depot and train 15 mins. Plenty of cafe bars around. We didn't find the complementary coffee machine as mentioned in previous reviews but also didn't have breakfast.

    Great location, very beautiful city, delicious breakfast, very friendly staff, very safe city. I had a room on the second floor and close to the street, but even there it was considerably quiet.

    Great location as the hotel is just a few minutes walk from the Old Town where there are a lot of bars, shops, restaurants, and of course the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela and other tourist sites. Perhaps a two minute walk is the bus stop...

    Hotel Universal is in a location close enough to walk everywhere - the train station, the cathedral and the tourist area. The single room is compact and has a 3/4 sized bed. It was quiet at night and the staff were friendly. Breakfast was €9...
