Room types

The accommodation offers a single category: Single Bed in Shared Room. It is designed for one person and consists of a single bed in a 60 m² shared dormitory. Unlike a private room, the space is shared with other guests, while your allocated bed is for one person. Bed linen is included and there is a socket near the bed, two practical features for getting settled and charging a device.

The main thing to consider when choosing this option is that you will be staying in a shared room, with a maximum capacity of one person per booking. The 60 m² refers to the shared dormitory. The option consists of a single bed, bed linen and a nearby socket, with no different bed configurations to choose from. It may suit solo travellers looking for a bed in a shared dormitory near the beaches of San Vicente de la Barquera.
