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:)

    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.
