Cathedral Hostel is one of those places that you instantly feel lucky to find. It’s always fully booked — and for good reason! The location couldn’t be better, right in the center of Murcia near the stunning cathedral, surrounded by cafes, restaurants, and everything you need within walking distance.
What really makes this hostel special is the staff. In all my five years of traveling and staying in hostels, I rarely meet people as kind and caring as the lady who works here. When I checked in, I got the last available bed, which happened to be in a mixed room full of guys. She immediately made sure I felt comfortable and safe, even taking the time to talk to everyone in the room and reassure me. The next night, she moved me to a girls’ room — such a thoughtful gesture that truly touched my heart. We couldn’t communicate much since she spoke only Spanish and I spoke English, but her kindness went beyond words. That’s something I’ll always remember. ( I also forgot her name unfortunately. )
The hostel itself feels very safe, especially for solo female travelers like me. I also met other wonderful female travelers here, and I’m sure our paths will cross again someday.
P.S They are always fully booked, do not come here randomly asking if they have availability and gets angry when they dont speak english like you. Book online coz they will provide the code via whats app downstairs in the gate and there is also another code in the hostel itself on the third floor.
