Escape to Paradise: Loop INN Santiago's Unforgettable Stay
Escape to Paradise: Loop INN Santiago - My Honest, Messy, and Surprisingly Wonderful Stay (SEO-ified!)
Okay, listen up, because I just got back from Escape to Paradise: Loop INN Santiago, and honestly? I need to unpack this. Like, emotionally and with my suitcase. This review is gonna be a bit of a ramble, because that's how it felt being there. Not sterile hotel PR fluff, but real-life impressions, okay? And yes, I'll try to drop some keywords to keep the search engines happy, but first… the feeling.
First Impressions: (Accessibility, Cleanliness and Safety, and Getting Around) – The Groundwork
Okay, so right off the bat, Accessibility – BIG tick for me. I'm not using a wheelchair, but I appreciate seeing a hotel that thinks about it. The elevators? Smooth. Clear signage? Present. And I heard whispers it had Facilities for disabled guests, which is always a positive sign. We need more of that, folks.
Cleanliness and Safety: Let's be real, post-pandemic, this is everything. Honestly, I'm a bit of a germaphobe now. Loop INN? They nailed it. Daily disinfection, Anti-viral cleaning products, Professional-grade sanitizing services… the works. They even had Hand sanitizer stations everywhere, even in the elevator! The Rooms sanitized between stays, and the possibility to Room sanitization opt-out available thing… I appreciated the choice. Felt secure!
Getting Around: Airport transfer service was a lifesaver after a long flight – well worth the cost! Car park [free of charge] and car park [on-site] are bonus points if you're driving. No stress!
The Room – My Fortress of Comfort (Available in all rooms)
My room. Oh, my room! It was a proper escape. I loved the Air conditioning. It was like a cool, crisp hug after a day in the Santiago heat. The Blackout curtains were a gift. No more squinting at the sunrise at 5 am! Free Wi-Fi (in all rooms!) was a godsend – connected instantly. I was working remotely a bit, so the Laptop workspace was crucial. Also, the Additional toilet – seriously, a game-changer. Coffee/tea maker, – morning savior ! There was everything, from Bathrobes (hello, luxury!), to Slippers (cozy feets!). Free bottled water and all. Oh, and the view? Stunning. I definitely saw the value in the High floor!
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – Where the Good Times Roll (and the Food Coma Begins)
Okay, so the food! This is where things got really interesting. Loop INN has several Restaurants. The Breakfast [buffet] was…an experience. Don’t get me wrong, it was vast. I had an International cuisine in restaurant and a Western breakfast. I ate so much that I almost missed the Coffee shop.
The real discovery? The Poolside bar. This place was heavenly. I'm talking about sipping a cocktail with a view. I really did. Seriously contemplating just going back to that particular spot because of my experience. Happy hour was a treat, as was my favorite Bottle of water!
Spa & Relaxation – My Personal Paradise (and an Unexpected Adventure!)
Now, about the Spa/sauna… here's where the story gets… interesting. I decided to be brave and try a Body wrap. I've never done this before. Never. It was a little…awkward at first. Being wrapped in what felt like a giant, warm burrito. Then, I fell asleep. Next thing I know, I am drooling and the masseuse is laughing!
But, honestly, it was amazing. I felt so relaxed afterward. So chilled. I'm going to try it again when I go. The Pool with view was also pretty darn amazing.
Things to do - (A little side note about my personal experiences beyond hotel)
I have to admit, I did not get around to the Fitness center, the Gym/fitness. I had one day. I was too busy relaxing. I heard it was well-equipped, though. I saw people getting a Massage- it seemed to be a good one.
Services and Conveniences – The Little Things That Matter
Loop INN had all the usual suspects. 24-hour front desk, Daily housekeeping. Also, I took advantage of the Dry cleaning service which was very quick and efficient. Seriously, the service here was top-notch.
For the Kids?
I didn't bring any kids, so I can't comment directly. However, they advertised Babysitting service, Family/child friendly and Kids meal, so it could be a great option.

Loop INN Santiago wasn’t just a hotel; it was an experience. It’s the kind of place where you feel… genuinely cared for. From the spotless rooms to the friendly staff, I felt a layer of stress just melt away. It's a genuine "Escape to Paradise" like they say.

Nessebar's BEST Beach Studio: Vigo-Panorama Aparthotel Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's travel itinerary. This is me, probably slightly hungover from the delicious Albariño, chronicling my chaotic odyssey through Santiago de Compostela. Let's get this mess started… at the Loop INN!
Loop INN – Santiago de Compostela: A Love/Hate Affair (Mostly Love, Let's Be Real)
Day 1: Arrival and the "Holy Crap, I'm Actually Here" Moment
Morning (9:00 AM -ish): Okay, so, the flight. Let's just say RyanAir and "comfort" are two words that don't belong in the same sentence. Landed, stumbled through passport control (where the guy looked at me like I'd just smuggled a family of badgers), and finally, sweet, sweet Spanish soil. Found the airport bus to Santiago… which was packed. Cue awkward shuffling, the lingering scent of… well, let's just call it “airport ambiance,” and me, clinging to my backpack like a lifeline. Arrival to Santiago.
Mid-day (11:30 AM): Checked into the Loop INN. Honestly? Pretty damn cool. Really modern, sleek, friendly staff. The first impression was "Wow, this is going to be good!" The room is small, but the bed's comfy and the shower pressure is a game-changer after a long flight. Immediately, I had the overwhelming urge to nap. The urge won.
Afternoon (2:00 PM -ish): After a nap. I ventured out. Found the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. And… whew boy. The sheer scale of it. The carved details. The history. I actually teared up a little. Maybe it was jet lag. Maybe it was the sheer weight of centuries staring back. Whatever, it was powerful.
- Anecdote: Almost fainted. Seriously. The air, the crush of people, the sheer magnificence – it was a sensory overload. Had to sit down for a bit and just…breathe. The "holy grail" is just a small building, nothing grandiose. But still, the experience was magnificent.
Late Afternoon/Evening (4:00 PM -ish): Wandered the old town. Got gloriously lost. Saw an artisan selling leather goods, bought a ridiculously overpriced, but stunning, leather bracelet. Worth it. (No regrets! Well, maybe a tiny one, but it's so pretty.)
- Observation: The cobblestone streets. They're beautiful. And they are also a menace to my ankles. I now understand why sensible shoes are de rigueur in this town.
Evening (7:00 PM -ish): Tapas! Glorious tapas! Found a tiny place called "Casa das Crechas." Amazing! The octopus (pulpo a la gallega) was, without exaggeration, life-changing. The wine was flowing. I had a conversation (or tried to) with a local about the history of the cathedral. It devolved into a lot of pointing and miming, but we bonded over shared appreciation for the food.
Night (9:00 PM - onwards): Stumbled back to the Loop INN. In a daze of good food and wine. Passed out. No regrets.
Day 2: Pilgrims, Parks, and the Pursuit of Churros (and Sanity)
- Morning (9:00 AM): Woke up… with a slight headache. Decided to embrace the local remedy: more coffee. Ate the hotel breakfast. Not bad. But nothing to write home about.
- Mid-day (11:00 AM): Decided to do the Camino route. I walked, not the entire journey. It’s beautiful, and it’s inspiring. I watched the pilgrims – some exhausted, some euphoric, all with a story to tell. There was this group of nuns and they were so joyous! I wanted to hug them!
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): Park time! Visited Parque de la Alameda. So green and so lovely. The views of the Cathedral were breathtaking. I probably would have been there all day had I not remembered the churros.
- Afternoon (2:00 PM): Churros! Finding the best churros in town became my sole mission. I think I succeed. The churros were dipped in hot chocolate and made me forget any problems that I had.
- Late Afternoon (4:00 PM): Visited the Mercado de Abastos (the food market). The sheer abundance of food. Fresh seafood, colorful produce, the smells… it was heaven. Did some people-watching and decided I needed another snack.
- Evening (6:00 PM): Explored the side streets. So many charming shops. I got a new little pendant.
- Night (8:00 PM): Dinner at another tapas bar. More wine. More deliciousness. The waiter was flirting with me. No complaints.
- Night (10:00 PM): After some wine, I went back to the Loop INN. I can see myself being very content.
Day 3: Cathedral Deep Dive, Last-Minute Souvenirs, and Departure (Sobbing?)
- Morning (9:00 AM): Back to the Cathedral. I signed up for a tour. This time, I got to see the "Botafumeiro" – the giant incense burner. OMG. It's a spectacle! Swinging through the air, filling the cathedral with a heady scent. It was a spiritual and physical experience.
- Reaction: Honestly, it nearly made me pass out again. The smell was overpowering, and I was almost squished in the crowd. But it was, in a very strange way, exhilarating.
- Mid-day (11:00 AM): Souvenir dash! Panicked. I needed to buy gifts for everyone back home. Had a bit of a melt-down in a shop. The pressure! Ugh!
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): One last lunch. Tried a different restaurant. Not as good as the first. Lesson learned: stick with Casa das Crechas.
- Afternoon (2:00 PM): Walked back to the Loop INN. Packed. Contemplated staying another week. Considered faking an injury.
- Late Afternoon (4:00 PM): Goodbye to Santiago. Goodbye, Galician deliciousness. Goodbye, cobblestones. Goodbye, friendly people.
- Emotion: Actually, I was sad to leave. It's a feeling that I didn't expect.
- Evening (6:00 PM): Airport. Flight Home. Wondering when I will return (very soon).
Closing Thoughts (Rambling, as Always):
Santiago de Compostela. It's a place that gets under your skin. It's beautiful, messy, and sometimes frustrating. The food is incredible, the history is overwhelming, and the people… well, they're just lovely. If you’re looking for a polished, perfect vacation, maybe this isn't it. But if you want an experience, a chance to get lost, and to fall a little bit in love with a place… then go. And book the Loop INN. You won't regret it.
