I will be in Santiago de Compostela the first week of March, both of these hotels have quoted me the same price for a single and both are fairly close to the the Cathedral. Given the time of year, availability of central heating and hot water is a factor (the garden not so much...)

Both have been well recommended and it's a real toss-up for me as to which to choose. Any thoughts? Thanks!
