Offering modern dorms with free Wi-Fi, Hostal Erasmus by gaiarooms Home is set in the heart of Salamanca’s beautiful old town, 3 minutes' walk from the cathedral and university.

Salamanca’s restaurants, tapas bars and charming squares can be found in the streets surrounding the hostel.

The location is amazing and the room was so much better in real life! The online check-in was a bit annoying, but one of the cleaning girls (Carolina, I think) helped us (super sweet and kind!!). The shower is amazing, beds super confortables and everything very clean :)

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location to the plaza. Cheap for one night. I wouldn’t have wanted longer. Staff very friendly and gave me access to the room earlier :)

    I stay here on my way north and south. The hotel might not be so convenient for visitors and tourists just visiting Salamanca, but: Safe easy parking and easy access to motorways without getting caught up in the city streets. Cheap (€10) taxi into town for dinner. Large quiet rooms and very comfy beds, clean well equipped en suites (in my experience few have baths, only showers). Charming staff and English speakers on reception. Large clean restaurant and bar area, with a patio in the garden for warmer months. Very reasonably priced.

    Excellent value for money. Great location an easy walk to the old city, well-equipped flat with free parking (!). Juan is a helpful and friendly host. It’s not high-end, located in a residential block of flats, but it is clean and everything works. Was great to have a washing machine and a safe place to leave the car.

    Location was excellent for sightseeing right on the Plaza Mayor and a 10 minute walk from all the sights and museums and hundreds of restaurants. Family friendly (and dog friendly) budget hotel, even has bunk beds for the kids. Staff were competent but overwhelmed as there were not enough staff to service to Semana Santa crowds. No frills and a bit worn, but good value for location.

    I don't usually like self check in places and booked this without looking. It delighted me how simple it was, with great parking recommendations, ease of access, safety. Above all an apartment that was in a great location, clean and comfortable.
