Very young atmosphere there. Hot tea and coffee for free all day long. Have some fruits also. Good breakfast. I love to have a curtains to have more privacy. The location is just in-front of the Cathedral. And during the day is awesome. But I would not suggest to walk outside along after a sunset. It s a very tricky Neighbourhood.

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The beds were comfy and bathrooms were really good, great facilities and very clean. It was also quiet so you could get a good night's sleep, seemed to be mainly an older crowd, people doing the Camino de Santiago rather than party, so that was a plus for me. All in all, great value for money, one of the best hostels I've stayed in for the budget range.
