7 Calcosas
The island's main hostel, a calm, simple guesthouse with mixed dorms and private rooms, the default base for travellers without a car on arrival.

Set inside the old Casino building, this is the island's most storytelling kitchen, building tasting menus around Bimbache-era ingredients and techniques with a chef who talks guests through each course.
What to order: Tasting menu rooted in Bimbache-era ingredients
La Mirada Profunda
A 35-seat dining room run by a chef with Barcelona and Balearic experience, serving no fixed menu so the kitchen can work with whatever is best that day, a rarity on an island this small.
What to order: Daily-changing chef's menu, no printed carte
Pizzeria Harina y Tomate
A reliably good, inexpensive pizzeria on Calle San Juan that locals treat as the default cheap dinner option in the capital.
What to order: Wood-style pizza
Pub La Lonja
The closest thing the island has to a proper club, a weekend disco on Calle San Francisco that also hosts occasional live reggae nights, pulling in most of the capital's younger crowd on a Friday or Saturday.
Tip: Small-town disco, loud and local, busiest after midnight on weekends

Very nice hostel with a very friendly host. You have everything here that you need for a couple of nights. Also breakfast is quite good (various different cereal and milk options, some bread, butter, jam, fruits and coffe). You can use the kitchen which has everything you need. The rooms are clean and the host is awesome!!
A wonderful little hostel owned by lovely people! Felt very safe during my stay. A perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. The breakfast was really good and they even offered me vegan options which I really appreciate! Bus transfer on el Hierro can be challenging but Thomas can pick you up for some money. 100% recommendation!
Amazing hostel. Rural vibes, perfect service, kind host. Karaoke bar deserves an extra star, adds to the service. Reccomended.
Clean, tidy and characterful hostel with amazing owners. I stayed a week here and loved it! It is in a great, peaceful location next to a natural swimming pool. And there is a bus stop right outside, which was very handy for me as I didn't have a car. The beds were comfortable and I slept super well. Everyone there was nice and friendly. Nicolas, the owner, is an amazing person, who knows all about the hiking routes, the swimming places, everything on the island. He speaks French, English and Spanish and is very attentive to his guests' needs. His wife also paints and they have a little makeshift coffee shop where she exhibits her art and you can also sit and watch the sunset in the evening and then listen to the pardela birds. You are in great hands at this hostel! Highly recommend!
