No room at the Inn.

That's what they told Mary. Is it my imagination or is it nuts in Santiago? Just looked at hostels, pensiones and the like for 2 pilgrims within 5 k of the Cathedral. 400 Euros? WTF?! I walked the French Route in 2014. It was nuts but I found dorms for 20 euros. What is going on? Have we completely monetized the pilgrimage? That is sad.

When are you looking for and what platform are you using?

What dates are you searching for? Perhaps there is some special event driving up prices on those days.

I was about to ask the same question. I’ve got three nights in Santiago for two for less than you’re paying/not paying for one at the end of this week.

When and on what booking platform? That is certainly not typical. A random week night for next week in central Santiago shows rooms available for two people for €60-70, and that’s without trying.

Strange. This is for tomorrow, with budget max set at €80.
Bottom right is Albergue Seminario Menor at €22

 

[Stivandrer]

A sure bet is usually Seminario Menor:

Fully booked 23rd to 24th September, but on the next day one bunk for 21€ ( 7 left6) and a single room for 25€ (6 left)
