Quiet, Safe, and Affordable Hostels in Santiago de Compostela, Spain

This large hostel set in the historic seminary building has a somewhat institutional feel. Basic dorms are provided in large rooms with large shared bathrooms (see photos). Private rooms are also available, and guests leaving reviews give these rooms very high ratings for the price. All bathrooms are shared and coed.

Meals are served in the dining hall (for an extra cost) and a shared communal kitchen is available for those wishing to cook themselves.

Not much else is offered. The atmosphere really can't help but be social due to the large numbers of beds in each dormitory, but the types of travelers staying here is very mixed and diverse. A mini-mart is on site for minor purchases, and there is a curfew.

The location is outside of the city center, but not far.

Hostel La Salle is located not far from the city center, and offers private rooms and dorms of varying sizes, both with and without ensuite bathrooms which are kept very clean and include towels and soap. Some of the facilities are a bit dated, but everything is clean and fairly modern. The shared kitchen is limited, but the common areas a great spot to socialize with fellow travelers.

Free Wi-Fi is available. The staff can book tours or arrange for transportation. Nearby are some public parks and gardens, and a couple of museums. A bit longer walk will get you into the city center (or take the bus). Restaurants and shops are nearby as well.
