    This was a really lovely break from hostels - we'd been walking the Camino for a week, was so lovely to have a room to ourselves in a great location. Wonderful value for money and the staff were so sweet, let us keep our bags in the hallway after checkout which was very convenient since our flight was in the evening. Would recommend!

    Amazing historical place slightly out of city. Hostel dormitory without bunk beds. No curtains or private cubicles. Beds were typical and firm but everything was clean. Unless you are really broke pay the extra few euro for the private room.

    Great hostel in the city centre. Friendly staff, nice room. No curtains on the bunks but the open plan multi bunk bed room can be made into 4 bed compartments with sliding doors. Elevator to 3rd floor is much appreciated for weary legs! Nice kitchen area with tea kettle, microwave, coffee machine, toaster, vending machine. Laundry available and left luggage (free for guests). Highly recommend!

    An ideal place to end a pilgrimage – a hostel within a grandiose seminary building. I stayed in a mixed dormitory and used a common (shared) bathroom. Rudimentary but cheap. Kind and helpful staff. Wonderful view of the old town. Located next to Belvis Park, about 1,2 km from Santiago de Compostela Cathedral (less than 20 minutes' walk).

    Fab showers. Clean rooms, the private room had bedding, but no towel. Good WiFi, free. Great location, in a hilly city. Airport bus stop 10 min walk away, run from 7am every 25 minutes I think. €1 for the bus. So much to enjoy in Santiago. The hostel and city felt very safe and clean.

    A great place to stay. Very well-organised. The bunk beds are quite private with your own night light, charging station and curtains. One of the best youth hostels I’ve stayed in on the Camino.
