Hi, when we are in Santiago we book a room in Hotel Pazo de Altamira.Hola
So, I saw some very nice reviews of different lodging in Santiago a few months back here on the forum.
After searching for a few hours without actually finding the post I remember, I put this out there knowing that many different options may come back.
Still, as I remember it, there seemed to be a few that many pilgrims recommended
So, maybe I am lucky and will get some good information.

Pots and pans? In Galicia? No.....! Can't be.If you want the other end of the spectrum - 9 euros for a bunk in El Fin del Camino. We stayed there for the third time in June and are pleased to announce the kitchen is now well stocked with pots and pans.
San MartinPinario-great location across from the Cathedral and a Pilgrim's room offering wine, coffee and a really good breakfast. Book ahead for a Pilgrim price. Also the Last Stamp Albergue.Hola

Couldn't agree more...I stayed there several days. Loved it. 23 Euros. Plus each room has it's own bathroom AND this does include a breakfast - buffet style and they offer quite a few items.First is San Martin Pinario, next to the Cathedral. The rooms there are simple, quiet, and imaculate. You can get pilgrim's rates...and it's got unbeatable camino history and atmosphere. And the best location in town.
You could treat yourself to the Parador!
We did receive a discount. I don't remember it being much, but it was a help. And appreciated.Some Paradores even offer a discount for pilgrims, see http://www.parador.es/es/ofertas/normal/tarifa-especial-peregrinos-del-camino-de-santiago-0

Thank you Laurie for telling about this place (Peregrina 2000)
Have a look at the Seminario Menor. A small room to yourself for about 15 euros.

23€ at San Martin is a regular single room? I paid much more, and breakfast was extra, 8 or 10 €. This was in 2012 if memory serves me right.
When you book it, or even if you walk up to the desk without booking, you should clearly ask for the albergue or a "pilgrim room." They will not give you that rate unless you ask for it when you check in. The breakfast is very good and it is included in the price.The 23 euro price is for a single private room on the fourth floor, which is their "albergue."

Have tried and liked San Martin Pinario, Fonda de San Roque and the Girasol.
The single room with shared bathroom at the Girasol has a skylight with beautiful views over the roof of San Martin Pinario, but... Oh the hike to get up those 4, yes, 4, flights of stairs after a Camino. But best view 25€ will buy you anywhere in the Western hemesphere. Menu is also super affordable.
San Roque is small, quaint, has an elevator and is run by lovely people. Rooms with antique furniture. Well renound reataurants just around the corner. It's the place the furthest away from the Cathedral, by a whole 3 minutes over San Marin and 45 seconds past the Girasol but has the advantage of making you go beyond the 3 mains Santiago old town drags.
San Martin is an experience, sleeping in converted nuns rooms a d walking past its beautiful atrium. If ypu can, ask to leave through the back and its private gardens at least once. Therés something special about buzzing ypurself out of a monastery! Location could not be better, bathrooms are a sight in theor modernity after a Camino, wine in the lounge is well, very well, priced. Place is impecable, just as nuns would have had it back in the day. It also has pilgrim rooms at a discount, and less "luxuary" if you book early enough by phoning.
