We had a great time with our 2 teenage kids in the cosy hostel! We stayed in the top floor family room next to the rooftop terrace and the common living room. The room and private bathroom were very clean. the hostel is located in the old city - close to plenty of eat and drink locations. you have some city noise at night - but this was not disturbing.

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've been staying in hostels for long and this one was one of the best, the capsule was impressive. The capsule can be locked from the inside, there are several lights, power outlets, a safe and even a mirror. Staff was quite nice and the hostel is very close to the bus station and to a lot of restaurants. Totally reccommend!

    Very cheap, so perfect if you just need a simple hostel, basically just a bed to sleep in, a little kitchen and common room. You're definitely not paying for extra facilities. Lots of backpackers doing el camino, all ages, but not really a social hostel. Quiet and most people are in bed early which is nice.
