Description of Meiga Backpackers
In Meiga Backpackers our main goal is to make you feel home. We have three floors were the dorms and bathrooms are distributed and a ground floor were you will find the common areas and a garden. We have a big living room, the perfect place to relax and meet people from all over the world and a wide kitchen with all the necesary stuff to cook your meals, so you can safe a little bit of money during your stay in Santiago de Compostela. In spring and summer time enjoy our garden, where you can make a barbacue with your friends, get tan or just relax in the open air. Nevertheless, this is a small hostel where we want to keep a familiar atmosphere. We are in a quiet place, perfect for those who want to have a good night sleep, but only a few minutes walking from the monumental area with all the sites, and the pubs to go out at night. We are located 5 minutes from the bus station and well comunicated with the train station. If you come riding your bike, we also have place for it. This is a non-smoking place. JANUARY AND FEBRUARY RECEPTION HOURS: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.

“ The reception is not open the hole day, very unconfortable because you have to wait until 6 PM to do the check in. The computer with internet is not free!!! you have to pay, it works with coins, I had to expend 1 euro to make it work before start to use it. People are friendly, very clean!!! ”

“ It was okay. You can't lock the door of the dormitory but there were only girls at the hostel when I was there so it didn't bother me at all. The only problem is that the reception is open only from 10am to 12am and from 6pm to 10pm; and when the reception is closed there's nobody there, only the... ”
