I like that this hotel is very near and walkable to St. James church and square or plaza, the Benedictine monastery and church, shops, restaurants, and 30 minute walk to bus station. My only issue was the very loud tango music from 10pm to around 4AM, which I found out the next day that there was a dance practice for a competition that weekend. The bed spring was a little uncomfortable and heater was overpowered by the cold temperature in December. Breakfast was good. Stayed overnight. Location was very convenient.

Cleanliness was flawless. The rooms and furniture are in great shape and everything is spotless. The towels clean and fluffy. The bed linens comfortable and clean. The room has a heater in the bathroom and another one in the room, perfectly comfortable temperature to your taste. The room was just enough for what I needed. It is small but enough. There was a beautiful window with a view of a wonderful inner patio, a desk, a bathroom, and a small bed. During the day it was quiet and peaceful, except if there's children playing on the halls. Late afternoon, people start to come back to the rooms and/or check in and it gets noisy. The bed was too small and my feet were hanging from the bottom. The walls are NOT sound proof and I could hear conversations and snoring. The snoring was unbelievable. LOL like having a bear next door. Although it wasn't even next door it was a couple doors down the hall. My only complain is the noise, everything else was great. Staff was super nice too.

If I ever do the Camino de Santiago again, I will definitely make every effort to find a room here. I had a room on the 4th floor with fantastic huge windows, so woke up to a view of red tiled roofs, historic architecture and hills in the background - beautiful. There's a lovely atmosphere here with all the walkers/pilgrims arriving and the location is incredible for the cathedral and all the wonderful eating opportunities nearby.

Very impressive building of old monastery makes you to expect a fabulous room but the room is very tiny with tiny bathroom and very basic accommodations. Lication is unbeatable and the service is good. The description says bar and lounge on the premises but the bar cloaed 2 years ago...

I've been staying after walking various Caminos at Hospederia San Martin Pinario in Santiago de Compostela since 2005. Each time I have stayed there, I have found the staff to be very friendly and helpful, the venue clean simple and comfortable and the location to be really excellent. I keep recommending Hospederia San Martin Pinario to everyone I know - my friends and contacts. Well done to everyone concerned. Thank you.

St. Martin's by the Cathedral!
My son and I were just finishing the Camino. We stayed here - it was very convenient. We could get our meals right here and they were delicious. It was also adjacent to Santiago Cathedral. It was an old world seminary. We loved it and everyone was so nice! Thank you Aleksander!

Adjacent to cathedral of St. James in Compostela
I love the convenience of this Hospederia since I prefer to be at the Cathedral area. It is steeped in history and has its own relaxing vibe from the garden to its large dining hall with daily meals. My only complaint is the little beds are not luxurious but its location and the rest, as usual it was good to be back there as last visit was May 2019.

If you are visiting because you are doing El Camino de Santiago this place is the ideal place to stay. It’s an amazing place with wonderful energy, you feel like you are walking through the pages of history. Service was wonderful and the food was great too but nothing beats the ambiance. Looking forward to visiting again!

Spectacular building
Spectacular building - very similar to the Parador. Room exactly as in the photographs. Some nice areas for sitting in communal spaces. Facilities closed for coronavirus which was a shame, but expected. Staff on reception friendly and helpful. Had requested a quiet room, but were given one facing a noisy road rather than the courtyard. Bathroom plumbing and noise from other rooms very noticeable.

Fit for a convent, not fit for a hotel.
Nobody stated this is a religious retreat, chants all day, curfew at night after midnight (door is closed), cold with scheduled heating which isn’t enough at all, and tiny tiny rooms no tv.

After walking the Camino Del Norte, Primitivo, and out to Finisterre and Muxia, my single room in Hospedería San Martín Pinario provided the perfect setting for my final couple of nights in Santiago de Compostela. The room was simple yet superb. It provided all ion the modern conveniences while retaining the character of the Monastery. Just being within this incredible structure filled me with awe, to then have a room here was the icing on the cake. The Dining Room is simply stunning, the meals providing an opportunity to connect with others. The staff were incredibly helpful allaying any concerns about my early morning departure which then became totally fuss free. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
