Meiga Backpackers Reviews

Das Hostal liegt sehr gut zwischen Bahnhof und Zentrum. Die Zimmer sind recht einfach ausgestattet. Es gibt 2 Baeder mit Dusche. Bei voller Auslastung des Hostals ist also hier etwas Geduld angebracht. Das Fruehstueck ist sehr schlicht aber nebenan ist ein kleiner Supermarkt, in dem man sich mit dem Noetigsten versorgen kann. Das Preis-Leistungsverhaeltnis ist sehr gut. Die Sauberkeit OK. Fuer einen kurzen Aufenthalt in Santiago eine gute und preiswerte Wahl!

Shower 1st floor could be refirbished.

Had a fantastic time at Meiga, staff were extremely friendly and as I was the only guest at the time I was looked after very well. I'd recommend this place for its good location, homely atmosphere and excellent and friendly staff.

I could check in in the morning (not during the official check in times) which was fantastic. The staff was really friendly and helpful. The location was perfect (short way to the busstation and to the city centre), but in the night there was the noise of the street and the cars running past. The rooms were warm.

It was fine as a base to explore the region. The hostel is located so close to the bus station so it is really convenient. Easy walking distance to the centre of Santiago also. Beds were comfortable. Only one bathroom on each floor was ok because there weren't too many people staying. The free breakfast in fairly rubbish but it's easy to go to one of the cafes nearby and spend 3 euros for coffee and a croissant and churros etc. Cleanliness was ok. A little unorganised but great price/location!

Best Hostel ever with a dreamteam: Jeff, Asch & Harry / anglo/american kick ass group. Greetings to you guys from Valencia

The best option to stay in Santiago de Compostela, the staff is awesome, they make you fell like home and friends, the view from the lounge room and the whole hostel is wide enough to fell comfortable. And the best id that there´s lots of bread and pastry shops near the hostel to get some goodies for a really good price, also you get to see from the hill the churches´ towers when youre going down hill from the hostals road, Trully an exceptional experience !!

An amazingg experience! I've been all around Europe and it ain't easy to find such a great hostel for such a good price! All the staff was kind and very helpful, portuguese people R know for being nice people. the place is very clean and in order, breakfast is good, you won't miss anything here! Portugal is great!

great hostel!!

I've had the best time in Meiga Backpackers. People there are really sweet and helpful, the place is really nice and has an awesome backyard. I'll definitely come back!

This youth hostel is well-located, not in the city centre but just ten minutes walking from there. It is very basic, not pretty but enough to rest and the price is quite cheap. I found the staff friendly and kind.

I was only there one night, but this was a great place to stay as you're passing through Santiago. The staff really knows how to make the place feel like home and how to show newcomers a good time in Santiago! Ask about the darts tournament; it's pretty awesome! :P

Very good hostel with a spacious living room, nice decor and a big garden. Staff were very helpful with showing us on the map where to eat, drink and shop all around Santiago. A great place in a city thats definitely worth visiting, just loved watching all the new pligrims stroll in from their long camino. There is a supermarket, butchers, fruit and veg shop a few doors down from the hostel. Reasonable priced, I would come back here again next time I visit Santiago.

NEVER EVER GO THERE!!!!! It is filthy, the showercurtains are mouldy, the bathroom is usuallly flooded with water. The bathroom in general is disgusting. The room stinks, actually the whole location is smelly. The staff is not what you call welcoming. Breakfast? A bunch of cheap bread, which they already put in the kitchen in the evening because over night no one is there. Just to say we have stayed at many hostels so we have experience. This was by far the worst hostel!!!

There weren't enough bathrooms; only one per floor and on each floor there were 6-12 people. Also, the bathrooms got flooded whenever someone took a shower and there was no soap to wash your hands with. It would have been nice to know that the computer with internet in the lobby wasn't free. The staff always seemed in a rush.

boring, full of pergrins, the staff is the worst i've ever seen, except from a guy named eduardo who is very friendly and helpfull, but if u meet "nacho" at the reception u'll see what i'm talking about...he's a pain in the ass...probably he'd like to work somewhere else but that's not my problem....it's really the worst hostel i've ever been to...

Liked: 1. Reasonable price. 2. Free Wi-fi. 3. Breakfast Included. Didn't like: 1. Being kicked out at noon for house-cleaning. Seriously?! The rooms aren't being cleaned simultaneously so I'm not sure why paying guests need to be kicked out! 2. Unclean/Messy I chose a bed only to find that there were used bandaids on it so I had to move. 3. Noisy groups of people. 4. No smoking rule not being followed by guests so the whole place smelt of smoke by the end of the night.

The decor might look a little but its a nice little hostel with all the facilities needed, comfy beds, lockers, good common area

The Hostel is very close to the Bus statio (about 10 min walking) and about 15 minutes walking to the cathedral. one of the Staff crew was really rude, but the others, specially Eduardo, were really good and help a lot whenever you need. The bedrooms, kitchen and common areas were very clean, but the bathroom in my floor was flooded and nobody took care of it. There are no keys for the bedrooms, just a code for the main door. The bad thing is that you have to get out of your bed at 10 O'Clock.

I slept there for three nights instead of one. Nice very friendly staff. They helped me with packing my bicycles by recomend bicycle shop in front of them. And even they helped in translation to bicycle shop owner. Highly recomend!
