Hostel in Palas de Rei with shared dormitories with 8, 10 or 12 beds, a garden, terrace, shared kitchen and an accessible ground-floor option.

Room types

The mixed shared dormitories come in three sizes: 8, 10 and 12 beds, with floor areas of 24, 30 and 37 m². All rooms have air conditioning, heating and bed linen, and share a bathroom. The 37 m² option is the largest; the 30 m² room is between this and the 24 m² option.
