Our cozy room in this small hotel was located right outside the Plaza San Martino Pinario in the majestic city of Santiago de Compestela. Yes, the rooms are on the small side and it is on the 2nd floor (3rd for us Americans) with no elevator. However, the rooms are clean, the staff is delightful and the location cannot be... More

Santiago de Compostela, our destination on the Camino de Santiago, Sunday 1st of July 2012. What a nice surprise this “pension” rated only one star, but of a quality much above our best expectations for the price. Located on Plaza San Martin Pinario, with a superb view for the rooms looking to the street. You are in the very hart... More

Pension da Estrela is rated with one star, but honestly I have to say that it's much better than a lot of three-stars hotels I have tried everywhere else in Europe. The rooms are not very large, but quite confortable and very clean, with private bathroom. Rooms 3 to 6 have a WONDERFUL view on Plaza San Martin Pinario (see... More

Highly recommended. Located on the second floor, very close to the Cathedral and to all the main sites. My room had a wonderful view to a quiet little square with the most attractive San Martin Pinario monastery (museum): large table for the laptop (free and constant internet access), large windows, en-suite bathroom with hair dryer, freshly decorated and impeccably clean....

This place was much nicer than what I expected for the price. The amenities were more like what you would expect in a 3 star hotel in Spain. The location directly on the Praza Pinario is very convenient to the cathedral and the rest of the Old Town but rooms facing the square get a lot of noise at night... More

Booked through hostels.com and my wife & I had a great 3 nights. Small rooms but immaculately clean, ensuite, serviced daily, TV, perfect location, great price, couldn't fault it. Delightful owner too. Highly recommended.

Stayed here for three nights as a short break. Had trouble finding it initially on foot in the maze of streets and squares of Santiago. Friendly and helpful staff, clean room and bathroom but very cold - no heating on until the evening, but even that didn't help a great deal. Bathroom very cold and damp so opening the window... More

This hostel was better than expected.The room was a bit small but comfortable and very clean with a nice little ensuite overlooking the square (room 3). We also had use of the kitchen. Might not be suitable for disabled as there are a few flights of stairs to climb..The owners were very friendly and also got our room ready to... More

This is probably not the best option in Santiago, but the location is great: right in front of the cathedral. It is the tipical guest house that inspite of being old and a bit dusty has this old-fashioned charm. The tipical recommendation for globe trotters travelling with the "Lonely Planet" guide book.
