Отель Albergue Turistico la Credencial - Hostel, Сантьяго-де-Компостела, Испания

Quiet place just outside of the central part. So, it is close to activities, but not in the middle of them. I think it's ~1.2-1.4km from the cathedral. There's at least one supermarket, a fruit store, a public laundry, several tapas and bars in a 100m radius. It is a typical hostel/albergue — nothing more, nothing less. It has all common facilities: boots store, laundry, showers, small public kitchen, several living rooms. You'll have many pilgrims as neighbours. A single warning is that you are required to leave it every day from 9:30 to 13:00, because it is closed for cleaning, which may be a bit inconvenient if you stay for a long time. In my case, everything was good. The showers have non-obvious controls — you cannot regulate the temperature. The first time I used the shower, the water was cold, while the next day it was hot again.
