Preventive measures about bedbugs, really very very clean

Nice hostel 20 minutes walk from the old town near the supermarkets and local cafes, bars. The facilities are great: there's a kitchen with all you need to cook, lots of space to seat and eat, the bathrooms are specious, there're hairdryers, a laundry room, the duvets are warm. As many had reviewed before: as a preventive measure of the bedbugs, the backpacks are not allowed in the room.

Not a disadvantageous thing for me, but it is not particularly central within the city of Santiago. It takes about 20 mins walking to the cathedral/city centre. At the same time it is very quiet outside, though.

I guess you could say it’s a little walk from the centre but are we really going to complain about that having walked the Camino?!

I would suggest adding curtains around the bunkbeds.

Perfect. Could be a little cheaper because in this price category are some single rooms available in Santiago.

We had bed bugs in our room...

The most probably there were bed bugs. Not sure exactly, as I stayed in the hostels before. Maybe it’s from the previous one.
