Accommodation on the Camino Inglés can be as basic or as luxurious as you want (and as your budget allows). There’s everything from cheap and cheerful dorms, large hotels, small family-run guest houses, and apartments to share with friends. Whichever you prefer, you should be able to find something within your budget.
The traditional Camino option is to stay in a shared dorm in an albergue.
Municipal albergues, which are specifically for pilgrims, are the cheapest and the best choice if you’re after a cost-effective Camino. You can’t book municipal albergues in advance so, to be sure of getting a bed for the night in one, you’ll generally have to start walking early so that you’re at the front of the queue when they open.
Private albergues are more expensive but still very reasonably priced and can be booked in advance.
Communal sleeping isn’t for everyone. It certainly isn’t my preference and, having walked four Caminos, I’ve only slept in dorms twice where there’s been no other option. It’s more expensive to book a private room or apartment but I’m happy to pay for a bed in a room of my own.
Over the course of my walk from Ferrol to Santiago de Compostela I stayed in a total of seven different places and, because I was walking this Camino with a friend, these were a mix of private rooms and apartments. Even though we were walking together we opted for our own rooms rather than sharing one – if you’re happy to share a double room you’ll obviously spend a lot less money than we did.
All the accommodation was booked before we left home so that we didn’t have to worry about finding anything along the way.
I made most of the bookings about ten weeks in advance and found that, even at that stage, many places were already fully booked. This meant that, in some cases, I had to book accommodation further out of the main towns and/or spend more than I would have normally spent for a room.

I used Booking.com to find my accommodation and then cross checked it against the map of the route on the Camino Ninja app to make sure that it was as close to the actual Camino path as possible.
On this Camino I was using a luggage transfer service so I had to make sure that my chosen service (Pilbeo) was able to collect from, and deliver to, the accommodation that I’d selected. Fortunately they do work with a large number of hostels, hotels and apartments and, if not, there is normally a nearby bar or café that they use instead. There was one hiccup but it was quickly rectified by Pilbeo – more on that later!
Here’s everywhere I stayed on the Camino Inglés from Ferrol to Santiago. All prices are correct as of September 2026. I’ve also listed other suggestions that I considered but that were already fully booked for my chosen dates.
Ferrol – Hostal la Frontera
Hostal la Frontera is popular with pilgrims and ideally situated on the edge of Ferrol’s old town close to the Camino route.
Check-in is strictly from 4pm (the front door is locked and reception is unmanned before then). We arrived around 30 minutes before reception opened and had to wait with a few other pilgrims until the receptionist arrived to open the hotel. If you are early there are plenty of bars and cafés nearby to have a drink or bite to eat while you wait.
We each paid €53 for a double room (cheaper rooms without windows are available). My room was basic but comfortable with two double beds and a private bathroom.
I did have a disaster with the shower and managed to flood the bathroom as the water was really slow to flow down the plughole. I was in room 206 so if you’re allocated that room it’s something to be aware of.
Handily, there’s a Camino way marker right in front so there’s no need to back track to the official start near the Tourist Information Centre if you don’t want to.
📍 Hostal la Frontera, Rúa San Andrés 4, Ferrol
Other places I looked at in Ferrol:
📍 Hostal O Choyo II – a mix of single, double, and twin rooms with private bathrooms close to the Camino path.
📍 Real Ferrol – another reasonably priced option in the heart of Ferrol’s old town
📍 Parador de Ferrol – a great way to start your Camino in style!
Neda – La Casa de Carmen
La Casa de Carmen is a one-bedroom apartment right on the Camino path but outside of Neda itself. It had a large living/dining area with a sofa bed, a good-sized kitchen, a bathroom with power shower, and an outside terrace with table and chairs that’s shared with the apartment below. It cost €118 for the night – at €59 each that’s good value for money when compared to the similar amount we each spent in Ferrol.
Access to the apartment is via a code and key box which the owner sent to us via WhatsApp. We actually arrived a little early while the apartment was still being cleaned so were able to sit in the garden and wait until it was finished.
As it was outside of Neda there’s not much in the way of amenities nearby so bear this in mind. There’s a restaurant, Fariña e Brasa, about a five-minute walk away where we went for something to eat in the evening. We chatted to the people who were staying in the downstairs apartment and they’d gone to the local service station and bought frozen pizzas to cook in the apartment.
📍 La Casa de Carmen, Aldea Puntal de Arriba, 11, Neda
Other places I considered in Neda:
📍 Pazo da Merced – a boutique hotel right on the waterfront with a mix of double and twin rooms. It has an onsite restaurant and a seasonal pool.
Pontedeume – Hotel Eumesa
Hotel Eumesa is the first hotel you reach after crossing the bridge into Pontedeume. It’s basic but, even with a funfair right outside the window when I stayed, I had a fairly decent night’s sleep. Obviously, at any other time of year when the local festival isn’t taking place I’d have slept better!
A double room with private bathroom cost €60 – my room was a good size with a view towards the river.
The bathroom was dated but the shower was strong which is just what you need as a tired pilgrim!
The main positive about Hotel Eumesa is the location. It’s right on the Camino path as you enter the town and close to plenty of places to eat and drink, as well as being handy for exploring Pontedeume.
📍 Hotel Eumesa, Avenida de la Coruña, Pontedeume
Other places I considered in Pontedeume:
📍 A Casa da Toura – slightly off the Camino route but still close enough to the town centre, A Casa da Toura has a mix of private rooms plus a sun terrace and garden for post-walk relaxing!
📍 Casa da Ponte – a two bedroom apartment just across the bridge into Pontedeume.
Betanzos – Apartamento San Roque
Apartamento San Roque was another great find in a residential building only a few minutes off the Camino trail.
It had two double bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus a comfortable living area, and kitchen. There was also a small balcony with a washing machine so we were able to wash some of our dirty clothes. There’s a sofa bed in the living room so the apartment will sleep six if there’s a group of you travelling together.
We had to let the owner know our arrival time by WhatsApp so that he could meet us and let us into the apartment and show us around.
It’s close enough to several supermarkets for self-catering. As we were in Betanzos on a very wet day we decided to cook in the apartment rather than head out for dinner – the kitchen was really well-equipped with everything we needed including a good selection of condiments.
We paid €122 for the apartment which we thought was excellent value as it’s in a quiet area so we were able to get a good night’s sleep.
📍 Apartamento San Roque, Rúa Rosalía de Castro 22 1D, Betanzos
Other places I considered in Betanzos:
📍 Hotel Villa de Betanzos – this hotel offers single, double/twin, and triple rooms. I actually booked rooms here but cancelled once I found Apartamento San Roque as it worked out cheaper for us to stay in an apartment.
Abegondo – Beche EcoCamp
Beche EcoCamp was my favourite spot on this Camino.
There are four lodges on the edge of a lake with each lodge having two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living area and well-equipped kitchen plus an outdoor eating and seating area with gorgeous countryside views.
It wasn’t cheap at €160 but would be a cost-effective alternative if you’re walking with a group. The price did include a breakfast box delivered to the lodge which contained bread, jam, butter, and olive oil, croissants, orange juice, and pods for the coffee machine in the kitchen.
There’s an onsite café and restaurant but do check the opening hours beforehand in case you need to bring supplies for cooking your own meals. We used the restaurant but it closed early although the café does stay open later.
📍 Beche EcoCamp, Lugar de Beche 8, Abegondo
There’s little in the way of accommodation until Hospital de Bruma. By this point the path from A Coruña has combined with the way from Ferrol and there aren’t too many options hence why we stayed off stage.
Sigüeiro – Duplex Camino Inglés
Duplex Camino Inglés is, as you’d expect, a duplex apartment in the heart of Sigüeiro.
On the first floor was a large living area, a dining room, and kitchen while on the upper level were three bedrooms and three bathrooms.
The kitchen had a washing machine and tumble dryer plus a coffee machine with a big selection of coffee pods to choose from.
This was the most expensive of all our accommodation at €169 and we were so exhausted once we arrived as it was our longest day that we didn’t really get to fully appreciate it. I did sleep exceptionally well that night though!
Entry was via a code and key box – the owner communicated with us via WhatsApp to give us all the relevant information.
If you book this apartment be aware that Pilbeo can’t deliver or pick up from here as there is no reception area. I learnt this the hard way!! There’s an apartment in Sigüeiro with a very similar name which I had put on the Pilbeo booking form so, obviously, when we arrived worn out and ready to jump in the shower our bags were nowhere to be found! However, Pilbeo were extremely helpful when I contacted them and they sent a driver to collect them and bring them to us. The next morning we were given instructions to leave them at Cafeteria Che which was just around the corner and where we had a good breakfast ahead of our final day’s walk.
📍 Duplex Camino Inglés, Rúa do Camiño Real 7, Sigüeiro
Other options in Sigüeiro:
📍 Albergue Segue O Camiño – as well as dorms the albergue also offers double rooms with private bathrooms.
Santiago de Compostela – Pensión Casa Douro
Pensión Casa Douro is a small hotel just a short walk from Santiago’s old town (and only a few minutes’ walk from a bus stop to the airport). It has a mix of single and double rooms with either shared or private bathrooms.
We each had a double room with private bathroom which cost €75 per room per night. The bed was comfortable and I had a good night’s sleep although there was some noise from people returning to their rooms late and then again getting up early in the morning. There was no noise from outside though which is always a bonus in a big city.
Reception is unmanned until 3pm (and closes again at 10pm) so you can’t check in if you reach Santiago early. There’s only one person on reception so it can take a while to check in if there are several people all waiting at 3pm.
The hotel has a couple of small outdoor terraces on different floors too plus a kitchen area with tea and coffee making facilities.
📍 Casa Douro, Rúa do Patio de Madres 15, Santiago de Compostela
Other places I considered in Santiago de Compostela:
📍 Hospedería San Martín Pinario – this is my go-to place every time I’m in Santiago but, unfortunately, the pilgrim rooms were all fully booked this time around. These rooms are basic but you get a private room with your own bathroom and breakfast included. The pilgrim rooms can only be booked directly via email to reservas@sanmartinpinario.eu.
📍 Casa Celsa-Barbantes – a short distance from the main square and with Cathedral views from some of the rooms.
📍 Hotel Praza Quintana – another hotel within walking distance of the Cathedral and Santiago’s historic centre.
📍 Albergue Monte do Gozo – when I walked the last 100 kms of the Camino Francés I was part of a group tour and we stayed here which is on the outskirts of Santiago. While it was a comfortable place to stay, my preference would always be to book somewhere in the centre of Santiago.
📍 Parador de Santiago – Hostal Reis Catolicos – the ultimate splurge to celebrate the end of your Camino. I may need a lottery win before I can stay here but it never stops me checking the price just in case there’s a special offer to be had!
