Hospedería San Martín Pinario

Staying at Hospedería San Martín Pinario is like stepping into history while enjoying the comfort of a top-class hotel. Nestled right in front of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, this 16th-century Benedictine monastery has been beautifully preserved and transformed into a stunning guesthouse without losing its timeless charm. The architecture is breathtaking, with its grand Baroque façade, intricate stonework, and peaceful cloisters, making every corner feel like a journey through centuries of history. The rooms, inspired by the original monastic lodgings, are simple yet elegant, thoughtfully designed to provide both comfort and a true sense of place. Despite the historical setting, the facilities are modern and well-curated, offering everything needed for a relaxing stay. The restaurant is excellent, serving delicious local cuisine that perfectly complements the ambiance of the hotel. The service is impeccable—the staff are welcoming, attentive, and always ready to help. But perhaps the most remarkable thing is the atmosphere—once inside, you don’t even feel like going out! The sense of tranquility, the beauty of the building, and the feeling of being part of something historical make it a truly unforgettable experience. If you’re visiting Santiago de Compostela, this is the place to stay—a perfect blend of history, elegance, and modern comfort!

Excellent location in the old town, right across from the Cathedral, and in a unique setting. Room and ensuite were modest, clean and functional. Bed was comfortable. Free wifi was good. Staff were warm and attentive, and helped me change rooms due to noisy neighbours. Breakfast was fine with all the standard fare. No stress with 12pm checkout, and very helpful to be able to store luggage at reception until departure from town. Good value for money.

A really nice place to stay, staff were lovely, the whole place was very clean throughout. Breakfast was a buffet and was very good value, as was the evening meal, I would stay here again absolutely. The location is literally across the road from the cathedral and within walking distance to shops, restaurants etc. No televisions anywhere which was really nice.

Excellent location … Spotless clean.Great service. Place also have a large gift shop when you can buy most wonderful gifts.

What an experience at the Hospexeria San Martin Pinario. We slept in monks accommodation, no frills but everything you would need. So clean and staff so friendly. Lovely hot shower and even a hair dryer. Ideal location. We could walk everywhere. Breakfast great for €9. Great 3 course dinner in the monks refectory €15 including wine.
