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.

    Well thought out design, new, and clean. I've stayed in quite a few hostels on the Camino. The dormitory bathroom showers are spacious with room to leave your gear secure and dry. Doors soft close, so disturbances are minimised. Clothes were washed and dried for 6 euros. There was a space for bikes too. Supermarkets not too far away. Cupboard provided with key to secure belongings. Use one euro like a shopping trolley to get the key... You get your euro back each time you unlock.

    Great place to stay. Beautiful building and very well converted into a hostel. The beds were really comfy and the dorm was laid out really well so it didn’t feel like you were sharing with 11 others. Best hostel I’ve stayed in.

    Great central location near cathedral in quiet street. Cheap, 39Eur double room with ensuite. Friendly staff. Good choice if on a budget but avoid if you don't like noise or want a bit of space.

    The hostel was perfect for my needs as I was attending an academic conference. I loved the cozy castle feeling. The staff were incredibly helpful and answered all of my questions about transport and the local neighborhood. Anyone looking for simplicity and comfort despite traveling on a budget will be very happy with this perfect, atmospheric hostel experience.
