The best hostel on the Camino de Santiago so far. Lovely host, super clean and comfortable. Beautiful new facilities, comfy beds, nice rooms with only 4 people per room (last night we were just 2 girls in our room). Sockets and light for each bed - comfortably located. Beautiful kitchen and clean nwe bathrooms. The owner is a treasure - thinks even of the smallest necessities of the pilgrims.

Second time to stay in El Palacio. Great location as you walk across the bridge into Molinaseca. The receptionist was pleasant and friendly. The room was of a decent size and clean. The beds were comfortable. There is secure bike storage. No complaints.

Great hostel on the entrance to the village. Staff were very helpful even sorting out a lower bunk for me when I arrived quite late in the day. Bed was comfy and there were facilities to dry clothes. Nice bar/restaurant.

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.

The staff is super friendly and helpful and the hostel's a solid hostel. The breakfast might be the best I've had on the camino so far. The beds are standard bunk beds but totally fine.

As a cycle tourer, for me the superb safe secure bike storage, complete with a high pressure (1Euro) 'bike wash' facility, foot pumps with gauges, and sets of tools and stands was an unexpected delight. And the light, modern and clean dormitory and other spaces are a joy.
