AC Hotel Palacio Universal

Guests praise the wide breakfast buffet, exceptional cleanliness, convenient location near the harbor and central shopping areas, and friendly, professional reception staff. Easy access to attractions and nearby islands.

After a disastrous experience in a 5 star Marriot hotel in Santiago de Compostela, we were pleasantly surprised. The hotel is just opposite the habour for many of the ferries. There are plenty of restaurants, bars and cafés in the area. The main shopping streets are not far either. The hotel provides a modern atmosphere. The staff were always friendly and helpful. It is possible to park the car directly outside of the hotel to unload, before moving it to the near-by car park. There was a coffee machine in the room and the hotel suggested a hot water kettle as well. Although the breakfast was the same as in Santiago at least a great effort was given to display it in an appetising manner. Completely suited to a 4 star hotel. Unfortunately, the same coffee machine was a disaster and always needed attention. The same toaster was useless. The design of the bathroom did make one wonder though. So much room for a shelf, but not one in sight. The sink itself was far too shallow and constantly caused water to go everywhere. As a result of which, the toiletry bags constantly got wet. There was only one dressing gown in a double room. We didn’t need it, but it does make you wonder…
