Meiga Backpackers in Santiago de Compostela … One of the best hostels I've been in -- really nice atmosphere, laid back, close to the city centre but also has the facilities I required (good bathroom, kitchen etc.). Plus points also to the owners who emailed me right away to let me know I'd left my phone there and sent it back to me -- big thanks!!
Hostal Pazo de Agra in Santiago de Compostela … I've stayed at the Agra three times, after completing the Camino de Santiago. In terms of comfort, location, and cleanliness, it's a good choice. Charming building, but the room furnishings are rather uninspiring. The best thing about this place is the people who run it: Fernando, his mother Fina and his father Gustavo. They are friendly and easy-going. They also run an excellent-value restaurant called Zingara nearby. Have breakfast there and they'll put it on your bill. Note: I had to pay in cash on my stays there.
Meiga Backpackers in Santiago de Compostela … i loved this place, super clean and nice people. there are only two showers but it's not too much of a problem. they have a sign up sheet on the door so you just put your name by the time that you want to take a shower. it's also a great location if you're taking the bus from the airport, it's about a half a block from the stop. the only downside is that they're closed from 12 to 1 and i wasn't informed of that so when i arrived at 12:15 i had to wait around until 1 to get rid of my stuff. also they don't have lockers so i was a bit uneasy, but overall the people are nice, it's clean, and it's a great location.
Complejo San Simon in Santiago de Compostela … Complejo San Simon is somehow related to the Hotel Congreso, located across the parking lot. The services advertised are in the Hotel Congreso (free internet and the pool). Check-in and desk services are also offered at the Hotel Congreso. The San Simon rooms are small and underwhelming. This hotel is fine but you do need a car if you're planning on staying there, as advertised it's not downtown and we were told that the bus service to the hotel is so-so. The best thing we did was buy breakfast when we checked in. 5 Euros each for all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet. If we would have bought it after check-in it would have been 10 Euros each.
Meiga Backpackers in Santiago de Compostela … A great hostel. Small, and inconspicuous, but really cosy! We weren't sure how to get there from the bus station so we rang reception and they were more than happy to help us. Free breakfast was good, the beds were nice and big, and although there weren't many people there when we were, and we were only there for a night, it had a friendly atmosphere. Plus they let us leave our bags there the day we checked out, for only a euro, which was a godsend.
Hostal la Alianza in La Coruņa … We rang the doorbell several times here and nobody answered! We had to find another place to stay. The outside of the hostel looks tatty, and the windows are in need of replacement. It was located right next to a building site.
Meiga Backpackers in Santiago de Compostela … Meiga Backpackers is a stunning little hostel, perfectly located near the heart of this great city. However, unless you're a die-hard walking pilgrim, get a cab from the bus or train station, as both are some distance from the center.
The ambience is especially pleasant, with a sunroom, wicker…
Hostal la Alianza in La Coruņa … It is privately owned and operated by an amiable, English-speaking family. They offer singles and doubles, which share two showers and toilets (one for men and one for women). The rooms are small but clean and comfortable, a few with windows, and the shared bathrooms are spotless. The hostel…
