Room Mate Vega occupies a prime spot in the beautiful Spanish city of Salamanca, just steps from the Plaza Mayor. The Cathedrals, university, the Clerecía and San Esteban are all within walking distance, making this the ideal place for price-conscious travellers who do not want to compromise on style.

The facilities

The Room Mate chain tends to do away with frills and frippery, focussing instead on its well-appointed guestrooms, and the Vega sibling is no different. So whilst there's no restaurant, gym or rooftop swimming pool, a good breakfast spread is provided each morning and staff are happy to recommend some fantastic eateries in the surrounding streets.

The rooms

Each of Room Mate Vega's 38 guestrooms is spacious and refined, decked out in a soothing palette of mushroom-browns and cream. All come with air conditioning, a minibar, private safe and complimentary internet access.
