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.

    The staff is super friendly and helpful and the hostel's a solid hostel. The breakfast might be the best I've had on the camino so far. The beds are standard bunk beds but totally fine.

    As a cycle tourer, for me the superb safe secure bike storage, complete with a high pressure (1Euro) 'bike wash' facility, foot pumps with gauges, and sets of tools and stands was an unexpected delight. And the light, modern and clean dormitory and other spaces are a joy.

    A big open, airy hostel. Felt very clean and modern, but also was lacking in any character a bit. Rooms are decently sized and bunk beds are spaced out enough to feel less cramped than a lot of places. Very clean and with a good bathroom & lockers to room situation where there's a big sliding door between where everyone is sleeping and the locker for your bag and bathroom so you can get up and get ready (or get ready and go to bed) without disturbing others.

    The location was excellent. TH hostel was easy to find in the city centre. Places of interest were close by to the main square. There were good meals to have in the restaurant downstairs. The room was comfortable and cool. There was safe parking for the bicycles though we did have to take them down a flight of stairs.
