Looking for a hostel?

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.

    Great location, bed very comfortable. Good facilities. I thought the place was a bit tired. It looked slightly different to the pictures. Very welcoming host and excellent communication. Marta was lovely and left us cake, sparkling wine and cold water. The manual was very comprehensive and covered everything you needed to know.

    Cool garden, sense of privacy as the bunk beds were sectioned off with a room divider (although we got lucky and had the whole place to ourselves). The day we were there, there was just one restaurant open nearby but there's a kitchen in the hostel (be careful walking to the local restaurant at night, as walking along the dark road with cars driving past at speed is dangerous- maybe bring a torch or phone so you're visible)

    The best hostel where I've rested during my Camino. The size of the bed is huge so you can have a very comfy sleep. The rooms are shared with no more than 8 people and they all face on a nice terrace. Everything is modern and tidy. The position is amazing: the hostel is set just next to the church that dominate the city, one of the best panoramic views of the Camino.

    Perfect place as a hostel. A huge room with separate beds (no bunk beds). Clean bed sheets, clean floor, no bad smell. We were also provided with towels and warm blankets. The bathroom is very nice and clean. The kitchen is modern with a coffee machine, a fridge, a kettle, an oven, and a stove. We arrived quite late. But earlier we received a call for the eta confirmation, so it wasn't a problem.

    The private bunk beds are excellent - especially if you have the top bunk. It is quiet, geared up well for pilgrims. Washing machine, great showers, pool are all perks. The small village has a nice cafe and restaurant that are cheap and friendly. Small kitchen was available too.

    This may actually be the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in, BUT do not book here if you are travelling via bicycle like I was!! It is at the top of a huge mountain, the roads of which are covered in cobblestones. It took me 45 minutes to climb on my bike and I couldn’t even enjoy the descent the next day due to the road. That said - the hostel itself is completely amazing, super modern, clean, like walking through a museum or art gallery!

    It is a youth hostel build with individual rooms. Good architecture. Spacious place. Breakfast is a basic breakfast like in any other youth hostel. But OK. The place is not expensive. Great location in a nice cozy town.

    More traditional basic hostel. We booked late for day 3 of our camino walk so were split across 2 dorms. For a dorm there was lots of space with single rather than bunk beds. I slept very well. Other half of the group were less happy with their room - small bed for one of them and noisy guests in room. Kitchen and kettle available. Very friendly host. Perhaps seems a little expensive compared to prior night. Many restuarants 15 minutes walk away
