  A great place to stay at the end of the Camino

  04 Jun 2026

  Enjoyed my one night in this lovely building near to the Cathedral. It is a very beautuful historic building that has been refurbished in keeping with its history. I had a small double for solo use and had a lovely view over the gardens from the desk. The bed was comfortable with quality linen and the shower although small was very nice and spotless clean. There is a lift and each floor has a communal seating area. There is also a nice bar. The only not so good was the very noisy, busy cramped breakfast room, too small for the amount of guests. Staff were very pleasant and there is luggage storage. A lovely last night to rest and recover at the end of a very challenging walk in very hot temperatures. atencion al cliente y, Marketing at Hospederia San Martin Pinario, responded to this review Muchísimas gracias por su comentario tan positivo. Tratamos de conservar la esencia de un edificio creado para custodiar los restos del Apóstol Santiago y que posteriormente dio alojamiento a los peregrinos. Trataremos de resolver en la medida de lo posible los inconvenientes que sufrió en nuestro comedor destinado a los desayunos que es original de la época benedictina. Muchas gracias por sus palabras y esperamos verlo de nuevo por aquí.

  Not really as expected

  03 May 2026

  Not sure where to start. This was our last stop before going home after the Camino. I think my expectations were too high as I as hoping to rest. Old convent, halls are very long to walk, rooms are so small that we were not able to open both our suitcases at the same time, shower is tiny (if you are over 150 lb, you might need to leave the door open to shower). I don’t understand why some european hotels have one long pillow for double beds… ??. (Guess it’s not my problem) Bed super uncomfortable and if you breathe it will make a noise. Walls are very thin we could hear our neighbors coughing and blowing their noises. And the best…… banging doors all the time. Of course you cannot sleep in…. as suitcases start to roll very early and walls are not soundproof. I don’t want to talk about the food and the attention of the waiters, it will make the review very depressing.To end with a good note, it looks good from the outside, the architecture is marvelous and it is less than 1 minute walk from the church of Santiago. atencion al cliente y, Marketing at Hospederia San Martin Pinario, responded to this review Sentimos mucho no haber cumplido sus expectativas. No sabemos si los pasillos son demasiados largos porque eso dependerá de cada persona. Lo que sí sabemos es que intentamos mantener la esencia del monasterio en el segundo edificio religioso más grande de España después de San Lorenzo de El Escorial y para ello además estamos obligados a cumplir la legalidad urbanística de un inmueble histórico del siglo X declarado Bien de Interés Cultural y englobado en el casco histórico de Santiago de Compostela nombrado Patrimonio Mundial de la Humanidad por la Unesco, por lo que la realización de obras debe cumplir un protocolo muy estricto que impide tirar muros e incluso paredes, por lo que nos vemos obligados a mantener la estructura actual tanto de las habitaciones como de unos pasillos que hasta la fecha nadie había calificado de "demasiado largos"l. Sentimos mucho que el ruido de las maletas de otros huéspedes le ocasionara molestias y, sobre todo, nos preocupa su mala experiencia en el restaurante ya que tratamos de ofrecer un trato inmejorable a todos nuestros clientes y son escasísimas las quejas que tenemos en ese aspecto. Sentimos mucho que su experiencia no haya sido satisfactoria.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------We’re very sorry we didn’t meet your expectations. We don’t know if the hallways are too long, as that depends on each person. What we do know is that we strive to preserve the essence of the monastery—the second-largest religious building in Spain after San Lorenzo de El Escorial—and to do so, we are also required to comply with the urban planning regulations governing a 10th-century historic building designated as a Site of Cultural Interest and located within the historic center of Santiago de Compostela, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. which means that any construction work must follow a very strict protocol that prohibits the removal of walls—including partition walls—so we are required to maintain the current structure of both the rooms and the hallways, which, to date, no one has described as “too long.” We are very sorry that the noise from other guests’ suitcases caused you inconvenience, and above all, we are concerned about your negative experience in the restaurant, as we strive to provide exceptional service to all our guests and receive very few complaints in that regard. We are very sorry that your experience was not satisfactory.Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

  Best Kept Secret of the Town

  02 May 2026

  Book a solo room with pilgrim rate, which is only half of the rack rate (please email to request). The view from the window of tiny ex-monk room is the cathedral itself. In essence, this hotel is parador-for-the-poor, haha. Since I do not spend much time in the room, it is totally sufficient. Bathroom is very basic, there is not even a desk in the room, only a chair with the built in desk like the one in the university. But for the price, which also includes simple breakfast, I will book anytime I end my pilgrimage at this city of St James. Thank you management of SMP! they also will hold your bag until 4 pm should you need to check out your room before you leave the town.

  Convent not a hotel!

  26 Oct 2025

  The property from outside looks impressive. The rooms are so horribly cold, the heaters do not get turned on, the double bed is a full size with a flat mattress, and one hard pillow that lays across the entire bed for two people. The front desk man was so rude and harsh, like we were there to bother him because we wanted to check in.The breakfast is included, but they start serving at 7 am, no exception. The dinner has a set menu with a price of 15 € per person. You can not ask for a soup only or share an appetizer. They make you buy the entire menu, for the soup, if you eat it or not, the hours for the restaurant are from 8 pm - 9:30 pm only. They bring one bottle of water and one bottle of wine. There are plenty of great places to stay at in Santiago, this is not one of them. atencion al cliente y, Marketing at Hospederia San Martin Pinario, responded to this review Podemos entender que la cama de la habitación le guste más menos ya que eso depende de cada uno, pero en el mes de octubre las temperaturas máximas en Santiago oscilaron entre los 26 y los 18 grados y las mínimas entre los 10 y los 16. Y aún así la calefacción se encendió en los días de más frío durante la noche. En cuanto a su incidente en recepción, si fue así lamentamos mucho lo ocurrido pero tratamos de complacer siempre al cliente tal y como se puede comprobar en los comentarios que en numerosos casos valoran la profesionalidad de nuestro personal. En cuanto a los horarios tendrá que entender que no podemos estar abiertos las 24 horas, por lo que establecemos unos horarios que se adecúan a los de nuestros huéspedes, que en la gran mayoría de los casos son peregrinos. No imponemos a nadie que haga uso de nuestro comedor, pero podrá comprobar con facilidad como en el exterior será terriblemente complicado desayunar antes de las siete de la mañana. En cuanto al menú de la cena, en nuestro comedor damos servicio a las personas que se hospedan en nuestro establecimiento y en la entrada figura la composición del menú y su precio, por lo que no entendemos que accediera al comedor si no estaba de acuerdo con las condiciones. Aún así, lamentamos mucho que su experiencia no haya sido buena ya que lo que buscamos es que todos nuestros huéspedes disfruten de su estancia entre nosotros..
