Casa Celsa - Barbantes

Amazing location! Very clean and serves its purpose. I understand this is a small little building so some things are going to suffer. if I could change some things it would be a better quality shower curtain that doesn’t stick to you when you’re trying to shower, lots of stairs to carry your case up and the rooms are very tiny, well the one we had was. I obviously can’t speak for the other rooms. It wasn’t a major issue and I don’t want to knock it too much due to the age of the building but just be aware of the size of some of them. we did guess in advance it was small as they do pre-warn you via email. This is a great place to stay if you want one of the best locations in the town so I do recommend it highly if you’re happy with the stairs and room size. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

+ - Very centrally located, only a 3 minute walk from the cathedral and with shops and restaurants around the area. - Superior rooms are decently sized. - Can be noisy due to it being right in the middle of the city No lift / elevator, so you may have to carry luggage up to 3 floors up Pillows very worn out (please change these!) Standard room very cramped

😊: Amazing location. The staff are lovely when you check in and check out. They show you a map with all the local attractions and where the police and tourist office is which was very nice.. 😢: Not the cleanest, the doors havent held up too well and need some muscle to close, the walls are thin of course and many couples stay through the week if you understand..

This is our third time staying here. The hotel is in a great location – 100m from cathedral and dozens of bars/cafes/restaurants within 200m. It’s on Rua Franco which is a main tourist street. The rooms are very clean but small. The reception desk is open during the day and early evening and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The street gets noisy at night, especially Friday & Saturday nights but that’s part of the fun staying here. Single rooms overlook Rua Franco with a small balcony with great views of the street and all that’s going on.

😊: This hotel has been my favorite for over 10 years. Friendly helpful staff. Wonderful location.. 😢: For the first time the bathroom wasn't clean. Especially the shower head was dirty..

Pros - Great location, beautiful building exterior Cons - I had hoped for a night in a clean room after 31 days of Camino Frances, but unfortunately was forced to wear shower shoes as well here. Filthy bathrooms and black mold everywhere from poor ventilation and cleaning. Very disappointing. It could be lovely, but disinterest and or lack of mission seems to have reduced it to being just another dirty albergue along the way.

😊: I had a small attic room at a cheap rate. Room had a view of the Cathedral. Small room but great for the price..

😊: Fantastic location. Very comfortable room. We would definitely stay here again..
