Hospedaría San Martiño Pinario

This old monastery is a fabulous building that was the end of The Camino De Santiago and although it has been turned into a hotel, it has kept as much of the interior as is possible. Lovely stone floors, walls and ornate ceilings are all still in place but it does have some modern conveniences such as a lift to upper floors. The bar / TV room was nice and quaint with a lovely bar tender. The outside space in the cloister garden was a nice spot to have a coffee etc. They had a very secure luggage room with a staff member on-site at all times. The gift shop located by the cloister meant you did not have to go outside to get your mementos, especially The Camino Scallop shell that all the walkers buy. We did not walk The Camino, just wanted to stay here for the character and it did not disappoint. Very busy with walkers so book early. It is located directly behind The Cathedral at the top the old town area and is a nice walk down all the old streets and musicians / bands play every night in the cathedral Square or close by. The rooms are kept in a traditional monastery style so a bit sparse in relation to other hotels but that was part of the experience. They have very good set price lunch & dinner every day in a huge hall that feels like you were in Hogwarts itself. It is not within walking distance of the bus station ( same as most places ) so you will need a taxi. It was great way to end our Galician trip . . hotels are hotels but this is an experience you do not get very often so I would recommend you try it out or you will be missing out.

Perfect location, professional service. Rooms are small specially the shower! bess not very comfortable. breakfast is very good. Note to order taxis for the airport 1 day in advance!

Rooms are on the small size but clean and quiet. Staff are really friendly and helpful. The location is amazing. Steps to the Cathedral. Many restaurants and shops within a5 minute walk.

I enjoyed my 2-night stay here in Feb 2024 after finishing my third Camino. The location is right next door to the cathedral. The rooms are small converted monastic cells (bedrooms), so don't expect space, tvs, or big bathrooms. For me this was the perfect way to finish a contemplative pilgrimage. If you truly want that 5 star experience, next door is the perfect hotel at 5 times the nightly rate ...

Two night stay at the end of our Camino.|Perfect location in the center of old Santiago, mere steps from the cathedral. |Lots of history in this is a restored old monastery and it retains its feeling of the austere life of the monks. Beds are not the most comfortable and the rooms have little if any modern additions (no tv in ours for example)|It’s a very large property and hallways feel more like a hospital than a hotel, but this adds to the experience. |Breakfast was barely ok. You’re not allowed to bring food out of the cafeteria (?). We are out so we did not get a chance to try the dining room.|Service was very good.

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 echo most of the other reviews for this hotel. From the moment I arrived (which was very early), the staff were very helpful, friendly and professional. Yes, the rooms are on the small side but they have all that you need and they are very clean. The food was excellent and extremely good value. Overall a brilliant place to stay. Well worth it in every way.

If you are expecting a monastery experience this is an experience you must have. Beautifully preserved and full of history plus a great end to your Camino. Having said that, the rooms are tiny but manageable but the bathroom is extremely small and a scalding ready to happen and walls ate paper thin. I gave it a good rating because the experience of staying in a historical location could be a chance in a lifetime and the rates are manageable plus you can’t beat the location.
