Offering modern dorms with free Wi-Fi, Hostal Erasmus by gaiarooms Home is set in the heart of Salamanca’s beautiful old town, 3 minutes' walk from the cathedral and university.

Salamanca’s restaurants, tapas bars and charming squares can be found in the streets surrounding the hostel.

The location was perfect and the room was superclean and very cozy. I was not expecting that, but I was truly amazed. Will definitely come back there when I go to Salamanca. I mentioned it to some friends and they had also been there and were amazed.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    I stay here on my way north and south. The hotel might not be so convenient for visitors and tourists just visiting Salamanca, but: Safe easy parking and easy access to motorways without getting caught up in the city streets. Cheap (€10) taxi into town for dinner. Large quiet rooms and very comfy beds, clean well equipped en suites (in my experience few have baths, only showers). Charming staff and English speakers on reception. Large clean restaurant and bar area, with a patio in the garden for warmer months. Very reasonably priced.

    Excellent value for money. Great location an easy walk to the old city, well-equipped flat with free parking (!). Juan is a helpful and friendly host. It’s not high-end, located in a residential block of flats, but it is clean and everything works. Was great to have a washing machine and a safe place to leave the car.

    Location was excellent for sightseeing right on the Plaza Mayor and a 10 minute walk from all the sights and museums and hundreds of restaurants. Family friendly (and dog friendly) budget hotel, even has bunk beds for the kids. Staff were competent but overwhelmed as there were not enough staff to service to Semana Santa crowds. No frills and a bit worn, but good value for location.

    I don't usually like self check in places and booked this without looking. It delighted me how simple it was, with great parking recommendations, ease of access, safety. Above all an apartment that was in a great location, clean and comfortable.

    It is on a great location, which is just a stone throw away from Plaza Mayor. plenty of eating places to pick from - either at Plaza Mayor or at the hotel's doorstep. It's in a very safe location. Perfect for a solo traveling woman like me. I absolutely love my room with balcony as i like the fresh air. The staff are great and friendly. The place is clean and tidy. It's a nonsmoking quiet hotel.

    The staff were very helpful. Big shout out to the catering team too! The rooms were clean, the air con worked well, the location is great and the facilities (gym, pool table) all free to use. This was a safe, comfortable low budget place.
