The facilities were great. Each bed had curtains, power sockets, and warm blankets. The showers even had shower gel and shampoo, which was a great addition. Carlos was a fantastic host, very friendly and helpful. Not only did he help to find a bus stop to the airport (which is across the street), but he even explained to me how to consume unusual Spanish food and gave good tips on that, which I found to be hospitality at its finest.

    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).

    Great location in the middle of the old town. The hostel looks like an actual hotel and they have their own cafe downstairs on one of the main streets in the old part very close to the Cathedral. The room and hostel had a modern and overall a nice design and was very clean. They also had a fan which was great to have in the summer.

    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.
