Grelo Hostel

Galicia


About half the guests at this good, friendly hostel are Camino de Santiago pilgrims on the Camino Mozárabe routes, which start in Andalucía – but it's open to everyone and has 24-hour access (no curfew or early-morning kick-out time). The three 10- to 12-person dorms have good metal bunks, with duvets, cotton sheets and towels included in rates.

Bathrooms are good and clean, there's a large sitting and dining area with microwave, kettle, toasters and fridges, and they will wash and dry a load of laundry for €3.
