El alojamiento es súper tranquilo, la atención exquisita. Humilde y sencillo. Las camas cómodas, pero no tenían lámparas de mesilla ni tan siquiera las bombillas. Cómo estaban de obras, entendimos que era algo pendiente de instalar. No fue un gran problema.
El ruido del extractor de olores del baño, mucho ruido!!

Auf den ersten Blick sehr schön: Nettes einfaches Zimmer an einem historischen Kreuzgang gelegen, funktionales neues Bad, schöner Blick ins Grüne, freundlicher Empfang.
Sehr laut, man hört jedes Geräusch aus dem Nachbarzimmer und Flur.
Das Frühstück beinhaltet nur eine minimale Auswahl an billigen Speisen, der Kaffee war nicht trinkbar (war das Kaffee?).
Das Haus ist nicht wie beschrieben 900m sondern 1,4km vom Zentrum entfernt.
Mit meinem beruflichen Hintergrund bewerte ich den Brandschutz im Gebäude als bedenklich: Die Kombination von vergitterten Zimmerfenstern, nicht rauchdichten Zimmertüren, geschossverbindenden Brandlasten in den Fluren, Brandmelder in den Fluren deren Kabel an der Deckenecke (noch?) unangeschlossen enden, kann im Brandfall tragisch werden.
Aber vielleicht wird die Sicherheit in diesem katholischen Haus ja von spirituellen Mächten geregelt.

Nada.
Están de obras. Mucho ruido. Las habitaciones demasiado lejos. No hay televisor en la habitación y solo una silla. La residencia está muy lejos del centro de la ciudad. No hay cafetería. Hay que abandonar la habitación a las 11:00 o pagas un día más.

I highly recommend this accommodation for those who wish to stay in an authentic and quiet place after finishing the Camino. I was warmly welcomed and enjoyed the beautiful architecture of the convent and the peaceful garden views. The room was extremely well maintained and very clean. The breakfast buffet had everything I needed, including fresh bread and fruit. Via Lucis is located outside the old city but walking to the cathedral took only about 15min.

Lovely place to stay at end of Camino. Room was clean and comfortable. Bathroom had everything you would need.
Location. Big far from centre

The staff were always friendly and helpful. The breakfast was generous and wonderful.
The walls of the rooms (Room 51) are paper thin. It is a relatively new block so I thought there would have been more sound-proofing, but alas no, we could easily hear normal conversations from the next door rooms.
Also the smoking room is the laundry room which is not the greatest when washing is drying, plus the smoke funnels up the floors - we could smell the smoke upstairs which is not pleasant.

Everything was perfect and way better than advertised!
Via Lucis is a located in a beautiful setting, really calm but very close to the city center. The sympathy and kindness of the staff, the common areas and the simple, comfortable and clean bedrooms are remarkable.
Great location, you can park for free, which is a huge advantage compared to other places right in the city center, but it is also a nice, fast walk away from the main attractions.
The breakfast is really fresh, with seasonal fruit, fresh bread, cheese, good coffe and juice, and cereals, everything you nees for a good and healthy breakfast.
Would recommend this calm, beautiful place to any travelers around!
Everything was perfect.

Tranquil place- a short nice walk via park to the cathedral. Nearby restaurant with tasty lunch set for around 6.3€, which is a steal compared to the €20 meal set around the cathedral. It is inside the USC campus which is much better than the commercilized surroundings of the cathedral. This is an ideal place for those who want to continue their prayers/silence as it has its own chapel. Nice breakfast too!
Mosquitoes got into our room when we left our windows wide open throught the night, our fault though.

The breakfast is really a poor one

The building is beautiful and the staff are very helpful. It is an old hospital and the nuns still service the building. The rooms are big and clean. It is quite magical.
We got breakfast for $5 euro and I would skip that if staying again. The bread was lovely but there isn't much else on offer.

Nice welcome, pleasant receptionist. Well appointed en suite bedroom. Good continental style breakfast available. Location close to park and moderate walk to city centre.
Nothing.

This is a really nice place to stay. It is located in the campus of the university, so it you come with a working visit to the USC it is just perfect. The breakfast is very pleasant, the staff is friendly and the place is quiet. It has its own internal and external yards, both charming. The sound isolation is not that great, but the whole historical and religious vibe is likely to make people to make less noise :) Loved it!
May be, some renovation of interiors would make the place even better. Also, there is no everyday cleaning, so if you want your room made up you need to ask for it.

Casa Diocesana it's within La Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, and it was about 10-15 minuted walk to town. The hospederia was quiet, and pretty safe. Since we drove, it was nice that it had free parking. The staff/ nuns were pretty friendly and accommodating. The room rate came with a very basic breakfast (basket of Galician bread, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, different types of jams, butter, sliced cheese and ham, white bread, fruits, some pastry) But it was a nice start for the day. The front desk has a hairdryer. There is one washer, 3.5 euro/load, and a dryer, 3 euro/load. The room was small, no frills, but clean.
The room was small and on top of that we were giving one with 3 beds for just 2 of us. The bathroom shower was a problem. The first night, the shower head fell off. Eventually we learned how to keep it in place by holding it with one hand. The shower stall had a shower curtain around it, and the shower curtain kept clinging to you when you were trying to take a shower. The place is undergoing some major renovations. So when we were there it was dusty and noisy at times. There's no TV, but there's Wi-Fi.
