Room types

Albergue Seminario Menor offers three types of accommodation: a single bed in a mixed dormitory, a private single room with a shared bathroom, and a standard room with two single beds. Room sizes range from 10 to 20 m², and the two-person category measures 15 m². None of the options has a private bathroom, so the facilities are shared.

The bed in the mixed dormitory is in the largest space and comes with a view, an individual locker with a socket and a small lamp. The 10 m² private single room also offers a view and has a bedside table and wardrobe; all single rooms are exterior-facing. The twin room has a shower in the shared bathroom and accommodates two people. The options differ in capacity, the level of privacy in the sleeping area and the furnishings available.
