can not say enough good things about Dream in Santiago. The best staff by far, beds were unbelievably comfortable, everyone was just wonderful.  the bathrooms were fully supplied. The kitchen was perfect. But the host was the most. The best smile more information than I knew what to do with.  and the hug I got when I left was so comforting I knew it was true.

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.

    Great hostel in the city centre. Friendly staff, nice room. No curtains on the bunks but the open plan multi bunk bed room can be made into 4 bed compartments with sliding doors. Elevator to 3rd floor is much appreciated for weary legs! Nice kitchen area with tea kettle, microwave, coffee machine, toaster, vending machine. Laundry available and left luggage (free for guests). Highly recommend!

    Personal is very friendly, will allways help you. The price/performace ratio is very good. The location is amazing, next to the cathedral, coffeeshops, restaurant, laundryshop and shops. Best hostel for pilgrims :) for private rooms you get a towel and shampoo/soap. Little kitchen to cook and hairdryer are present. Will stay there again.

    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.

    A great place to stay. Very well-organised. The bunk beds are quite private with your own night light, charging station and curtains. One of the best youth hostels I’ve stayed in on the Camino.
