Roots and Boots Hostel Reviews

I can't imagine a better place to stay in Santiago for the price! It's right beside a park too, so there are beautiful walks around the city just right out the front door. Great atmosphere as it's mostly pilgrims who stay there; but be warned that wake up is early!

Clean rooms with professionally laundered sheets and towels. Nice lounge area and yard space. Not enough bathroom facilities and it would be good if there was some vending machines for drinks, etc.

Great Hostel, Lovely staff and great bargain 2 euro coffee and toast in the morning!

- Too much noise after 10 pm without discipline (staff absent?), a lot of young people crying, up and down stairs until 1am - Breakfast late for pelgrims or absent on weekends' - L'albergue hasn't its name on the facade of the building? - Positive point welcome very nice and the situation close the center.

The lockers were outside of the room

A little difficult to locate and a bit of walking distance from restaurants but a nice neighborhood with a lovely view of the church (if you get the right room). Near the park so a stroll is easy. I would stay again

The hostel wasnt bad at all, I have just missed some things. Good points were: nice garden, spacious kitchen and dining area, security (entrance code changed every day), location Weak points were: too big & busy (missing atmosphere), small lockers with no locks to borrow

Alba who was working there was extremely helpful, friendly and polite. The rooms are basic but that is to be expected for the price you pay. It's about 5 minutes from the Cathedral and the kitchen facilities are excellent. The kitchen is always clean due to the hardworking staff.

Great place to stay, just finished my Camino and couldn't have asked for more.. I will be back

Thanks for the flexibility to let me arrive at 11 pm and leave at 6:30 am! I didn´t have any trouble, even thoughthe reception hours go from 9 am to 10 pm.

Lovely garden area, friendly staff and reasonably priced. Only problems were very creaky floors and those motion sensor lights in the corridors but other than that a pretty good hostel.

We enjoyed our stay at Roots & Boots, but were quite surprised to find there are no locks on the doors of the bedrooms and so anyone can just walk in... we just kept our valuable things such as wallets and phones beside us the whole time we were there! Apart from this, the hostel was clean and comfortable and had a nice kitchen with wood-burning stove. The garden was very beautiful as well and the staff were friendly and helpful - they let us leave our bags there after we had checked out.

Staff are friendly, however others are soso.

Very nice staff. Breakfast (coffee and toast) available for 2 Euro. Nice little patio/garden out back. Could use some locks on the bedroom doors, not just on the front door of the hostel. Clean and comfy. Good for pilgrims and non-pilgrims alike. Not very close to many restaurants but the supermarket is very close.

Great location with cathedral views to die for. Staff are friendly and helpful especially the boss who is a real dynamo, always smiling and nothing too much trouble. This is a peregrino hostal in reality so everything is simple and plain but good. Highly recommended to peregrinos because it is only 400m walk to the cathedral.

staff was very nice and helpful. You gave us the hairdryer and that was very nice! one night we forgot the password to get inside the hostel and you answered back immediately although it was 4pm.

Very nice hostel, very good location with nice garden (pity but it was too cold to enjoy it. but hope to use it next time). We will recommend your place to our friends. Thank you for your nice service !

I loved this hostel! It had the perfect combination of cleanliness and location. Also the kitchen and garden are perfect. Definitely stay here the price is very low and so great!

Charming little hostel with a great backyard and kitchen. Rooms were basic but were way too close to the bathrooms that needed a bit of ventilation. Hostel owner was very warm and welcoming.

Very nice little hostel with an amazing view of the Catherdral of Santiago which is beautiful. Perfect location for this little town, we were there on a monday so not much going on but a nice common room and a great outdoor kitchen, nice cheap break fast as well. Overall i would recommend Roots and Boots to my frineds!
