Albergue Santiago 15 Monforte

Modern, really cool, and not expensive.

The value for money is hard to beat, and the hostel exceeded what I expected. There’s good Wi-Fi, plenty of indoor and outdoor places to relax, and outlets all over, including by the comfortable beds. It works well whether you’re passing through or working remotely. The air conditioning and daily cleaning were good too. Definitely recommend it.

The staff are a big part of why I’m happy here. They’re friendly, answer questions well and quickly, and there are plenty of people around to chat with. It’s a good fit if you’re coming from the Camino de Santiago or enjoy meeting people in a quiet, open space. I’d recommend it for that. There’s lots I like about the place: the rooms are great, the space is excellent, and there’s an outdoor patio with sofas. A coffee and drinks machine is nearby, with a couple of teas and space to store food. The bathrooms are the main drawback. They’ve got worse since our first visit, and I don’t know if renovation has been considered. I’d have liked some kind of water filtration, at least in the men’s room, because I often end up with the whole floor wet. There’s also an issue with the toilet seats. My brother and I try to take care of them when we use the restroom, but recently we found them broken, and one toilet was out of order 😵.

Quiet and cozy, with air conditioning that was welcome on hot days. There’s a small kitchen and free coffee, plus cotton sheets and towels. Highly recommend it.
