I've been very happy w Casa Celsa located just off Obradiorio plaza 100 meters from Cathedral. Room 22 overlooked (2019) the bars below and the busy street. Lots of people watching.

I did the Camino del Norte last august and I stayed at Hotel Gelmirez in Santiago. Not a cheap accomodation , but a nice place to stay after a long journey. It´s 10 min walking to Cathedral,in a pleasant street. I do recomend Hotel Gelmirez.
We are as I speak in the Seminario Menor some 10 minutes walk from the cathedral. It has dormitories and twin rooms. Austere looking building, but nicely converted into pilgrim accommodation, modern showers and brilliantly located for the town...
wITHOUT A DOUBT: Pensión Paz de Agra, R. da Caldeirería, 37,
various types of rooms; reasonable prices; quiet side street away from hustle bustle and all the noise
all but 6 mins walk to The Cathedral
For people's reference, I finished the Primitivo last weekend and stayed 2 nights at a hostal called Pico Sacro, just a few steps from the Cathedral square. I would recommend it.

Oxford Suites just behind the Parador and steps from the square. Great clean rooms with good rates. Not sure of availability on short notice but worth a shot.
