Room types

Albergue SCQ offers two bed options in mixed dormitories: one with eight beds and 25 m², and another with four beds and 13 m². In both cases, the accommodation is one bed in a bunk bed for one person, and the bathroom is shared. The larger room has garden views; the four-bed room offers views without a more specific orientation, so the two options differ in both room size and capacity.

Both options have air conditioning, a washing machine, wood or parquet flooring, bed linen, heating, a drying rack and a socket by the bed. Both dormitories are on the ground floor and are wheelchair accessible. The main choice is therefore between a more spacious dormitory with eight beds and one with four beds, while the facilities inside are similar.
