Great staff and facilities. Shame about next door!

The place looks amazing and the staff at reception and in the basement are friendly and helpful. Theres a great range of facilities. Unfortunately, due to the behaviour of a neighbouring guest, the night could have been better. The walls are notnsound insulated so you can hear what is happening next door. They were a very loud talker on the phone and then played music until midnight. In the morning when using the WC, it was smelling of smoke as someone was smoking. I do not like smelling of smoke or being forced to breathe it in. Also, there was no hot water when i showered at 5pm. So my experience could have been much better!

A typical Camino Albergue in the city

I stayed in this Albergue when I arrived in Santiago. Having stayed in pilgrim Albergues for all of my Camino journey, this was the perfect place in the city for me. The single rooms were basic but perfectly adequate. The building itself has all the amenities one could ask for - laundry facilities, kitchen, mini supermarket etc. Perfect for the pilgrim at the end of the Camino

It was a neat experience to stay in this beautiful old seminary. I had a private room, very plain, but with 3 windows overlooking a courtyard. Bed and pillow had rubber coverings to deter bedbugs, and there were clean sheets placed in the room for you to make your own bed. Rooms and bathrooms were very clean - gracias! This facility was designed as a place to rest and reflect, which one could do easily as the sleeping floors were silent and there were no TVs or distractions. I enjoyed the mix of international people young and old staying here.

It was ok staying there. I had a private room. The Seminary building is huge and beautiful architecture. It was cold, I ask for another blanket and the guy in reception gave it to me very kindly. All people who work there are very nice and friendly. It is 13-15 minutes walking to the cathedral. The path to go there is nice. It makes you feel you are doing the “Camino de Santiago” because you walk the last stretch of The Camino

Value for money

The reception staff were fantastic. They stayed till past closing time as we couldn’t get a taxi easily from the station. The reception staff were always helpful and smiling. The room was good for the price, but I had a chipped sink and water leaked onto the floor. The blankets were not fresh, but the room was clean. The toilets need to be refreshed/cleaned more often as a bad smell permeated out. Lovely building and surrounds

Great way to end the Camino

If you are a Camino Pilgrim and cannot get a room at the Seminario Mayor (San Martin Pinario) then I recommend the Seminario Menor. That is how I ended up there. I stayed at San Martín Pinario in 2019 upon finishing the Frances and I stayed here a few days ago in Sept. 2021 at the end of the Camino Primitivo because I waited too long to try to get a reservation. After two weeks of bunk beds in shared albergues a private room was a luxury. But only to someone who has been on the Camino - don’t stay here just to save money unless you are a pilgrim. For 17 euros a night I got a small room with a twin bed, disposable sheets, a sink, a desk, closet, chair and a pretty nice view. The bathrooms and showers are shared and not much better than a typical albergue. The building is beautiful from the outside but about 1 km from the Cathedral. I didn’t mind a little walking after the 350 km I’d already walked. The biggest plus for me was I could stay two nights unlike most albergues. If none of this makes sense to you, don’t stay here. If you get what I’m talking about I hope this review helps. It was a nice way for me to end this Camino.

Spotless & great value for money.

The Albergue was spotless and great value for money. Everything I needed. The staff were very helpful. My room was comfortable and there were loads of bathrooms all over to share. It was nice and quiet.
