Albergue SCQ, hotel in Santiago de Compostela

Set within 1.7 km of Tourism Office and 1.5 km of Santiago de Compostela Cathedral, Albergue SCQ offers rooms with air conditioning and a shared bathroom in Santiago de Compostela.

This hostel is super clean, with strict (reasonable) rules that keep it that way. The kitchen/social area is great and the showers clean. Easy to do laundry but only one machine so there might be a bit of a queue. There is a boot/shoe area which helps keep stinky shoe smell out of the hostel! The rooms are not overcrowded and there are some thoughtful touches for tired peregrinos! It a little bit out of central so we dropped off our backpacks before walking to the finish. Highly recommended and I would stay here again for sure.

Albergue Azabache, hotel in Santiago de Compostela

Conveniently located in the centre of Santiago de Compostela, Albergue Azabache offers free WiFi throughout the property and a shared lounge.

You can't get better location for your stay in Santiago. Right in the heart of old town. Hostel in old building so it is not made for hostel purpose therefore once entered feels very homely. Looks like you walked into someone's house and they are giving you bed to sleep. Whole place has 3 floors. Few showers with toilets. It has kitchen and sitting area. It felt cosy like visiting grandma:)

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.

    Nice and professional staff at the reception. Clean hostel, clean shared room with 2 bunk beds, 4 small lockers next to the beds, shared bathroom facilities (shower, sink, hair dryer, and toilet), towel and bed linen including a blanket, so one does not need a sleeping bag. A rich buffet breakfast is included in the price. Well-accessible centre with cathedral and pilgrim office.

    Amazing historical place slightly out of city. Hostel dormitory without bunk beds. No curtains or private cubicles. Beds were typical and firm but everything was clean. Unless you are really broke pay the extra few euro for the private room.

    An ideal place to end a pilgrimage – a hostel within a grandiose seminary building. I stayed in a mixed dormitory and used a common (shared) bathroom. Rudimentary but cheap. Kind and helpful staff. Wonderful view of the old town. Located next to Belvis Park, about 1,2 km from Santiago de Compostela Cathedral (less than 20 minutes' walk).

    Fab showers. Clean rooms, the private room had bedding, but no towel. Good WiFi, free. Great location, in a hilly city. Airport bus stop 10 min walk away, run from 7am every 25 minutes I think. €1 for the bus. So much to enjoy in Santiago. The hostel and city felt very safe and clean.
