Hospederia San Martin Pinario

Best hotel for the camino people!! So many people stay and you catch up with them all. Stay!

Amazing location and a wonderful building. Lunch was incredible and I highly recommend that you check out their pilgram meal options. The rooms were a little small though and it was a shame that the bar / cafe area wasn't open more often or offer any food. After an amazing lunch in the hotel, we only wanted a snack in the evening and we were not able to find a table in any of the local cafes or bars. It was also torrential rain outside all evening. It would have been nice to stay in the bar, remain dry and have some food options.

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.

Upon arriving at reception, to departing ~ this renovated monastery, all staff were so accommodating and friendly, throughout our stay. I travelled with a friend and we had opted for the very well priced, pilgrim en suite rooms with breakfast. Our rooms were next door to each other and equipped well with the basics required. Single bed, desk, wardrobe, lamps. It felt a fitting location to base ourselves at, after completing our Sarría to SDC Pilgrim Camino Path. The room felt cosy and so authentic. I loved the original wooden window shutters, which looked down into a beautifully landscaped courtyard. It was very clean and would certainly recommend to stay here. Breakfast was a mixture of continental, cereals, breads, coffee & juices and was a nice atmosphere to be in. They were very accommodating in being able to provide gluten free items, to which I was very thankful for. Even moreso, that each morning upon arrival, the young waiter would remember and check us in and re appear with them. We encountered an array of many friendly fellow Worldwide Camino pilgrim walkers, who were very pleasant and interesting to engage and speak with at breakfast. We did try the pilgrims meal 3 course meal the first evening, out of curiosity, As much as it was worth the €15, it lacked any atmosphere to the grand, architectural room that the restaurant is located within. Even if to play a gentle back ground music would have been nice, to take the edge of the silence. But, equally we did enjoy our meal and had a good evening there, retreating to the bar area after dinner, to end the evening. Overall, I would definitely stay here again, as the location too, is second to none! It is centrally located and the cathedral is within a minute away and can be seen and heard at the main entrance doors. There are so many attractions to see in SDC and there are an array of bars, restaurants and shops within the vicinity. Just walking around or sitting enjoying a coffee, watching the world go by is peaceful in this city. A great end to this Camino journey for sure.

Stayed extra 3 days after Camiño to rest and enjoy Santiago de Compestila. Enjoyed the peacefulness, breakfast and dinners.

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.

Great staff at an excellent facility!
