This is a small hostel located in the city but most importantly away from the actual noise and non stop Spanish evenings and entertainment but still very close walking distance to them. It is also close to many restaurants and shops. The place is clean and some rooms are like a hotel room with ensuite. The place was quiet, rooms small but clean. The common areas have a kitchen and there is free coffee dispensing machine which gives a great coffee! The owner is really nice and welcoming. I recommend!

The breakfast is great! Staff are very helpful, even allowed us to keep our bags in our lockers after check-out since no one was coming in after us as an exception and trusted us with the keys for a few hours until it was time to catch our train back home. Although I believe it wouldn't be feasible for them to do this with everyone, we felt very grateful that they even gave us this option.

We walked to Albergue Piedad as "pilgrims" to Santiago de Compostela. It's location is near the train station, which you need to take to get across the river. Albergue Piedad is welcoming, offers wonderful food, and is a great place o regenerate if you are walking the Camino.

This hostel boasts a clean and modern interior that truly stands out. Above all, the staff's exceptional kindness makes it a place I'd love to revisit. Its location, midway between the city center and Primera Playa, provides excellent accessibility. Though there's a slight hill, this hostel offers a beautiful view of the city.

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.

Ángel greeted us at reception and was so kind and helpful! The location of the hostel is amazing, everything is in walking distance and it’s located next to the train station. The hostel itself was very clean and had a super cute common area as well. Everything felt super safe and they were beyond kind and accommodating!!

Staff are brilliant and super helpful with my broken Spanish. The place was clean, comfy and inviting. Sockets and storage for every bunk is a fantastic feature which not many hostels have and it’s also one of the cheapest. A friend recommended this place to me and they where absolutely right to do so.

Probably one of the nicest hostels I've ever stayed in. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful - they remembered my name despite the fact I was only staying a few nights and always greeted me while a smile. The hostel was very clean, well run and well equipped with amenities - they even had a coffee machine! As a solo traveller, I felt exceptionally safe and welcomed and the environment was quiet and respectful. They even stored my luggage after check-out.
