Lovely garden with a pool (cold though but nice) and shade. The hosts are very nice and the food is delicious. The dorm itself is pretty basic and no sheets provided at all. The wifi only works in the garden.

After walking a long day in the heat, the garden area and pool (and the bar) provided a perfect end to the day. The pilgrim meal was lovely.

The albergue itself is slightly separate from the hotel. Great garden and pool. Dorm quite cramped. It is in the hotel where you eat and the communal dinner was excellent. Staff all super helpful.

Only negative, no WiFi in dorm room.

Although the hotel was full, as was the main albergue building (where the swimming pool is located amongst some great metal sculptures and some "interesting" wall art), Edwardo still accommodated all that came looking for a bed by opening the attic room in the Hotel which is equipped with around 20 single beds, an ample bathroom and hot water!

Dinner was Camino-style with starters being a shared bowl of soup (2 options) from which pilgrims served themselves, followed by a choice of 3 dishes and ice-cream. Both the food and the company at my meal were lovely.

I went to the wrong town, was late and the reception was wonderful. Arranged a bed and so very friendly.
Provided a community dinner that was very tasty with different options. I saw no porn art in the albergue- lots of metal art depicting pilgrims. Wonderful enclosed garden and most of us hung out in the Hotel bar with no issues.

Stayed in a double room in the hotel. Eduardo is a wonderful host and works his socks off to give amazing service. Two gardens to choose from. Washing facilities, good food and plenty of space to relax. Would definitely recommend.

From the road the albergue doesn't look like much at all, however, once you pass through the big wooden door, you enter a lovely green oasis. The room is decent, and the bathroom is good.
The host at the hotel is wonderful with a charming sense of humor, despite being stressed by all the visitors. The food options for dinner wee good, and it was nice to be able to socialise worth all the pilgrims, those in the hotel as well.

Eduardo is one of the kindest hosts my wife and I met on the Camino. We got there about 1 pm to honor our reservation. He was able to give us 2 beds in the dorm room on the 2nd floor of the hotel building. The beds were very comfortable, the dorm room, showers, and toilets all worked great and were very clean. Dinner was wonderful food with choices for 1st and 2nd courses. Eduardo was up at 6 AM to provide cafe and simple pastry choices. Every encounter with Eduardo and his staff was very positive. My wife and I would stay here again!

NOTE TO PILGRIMS: PLEASE DON'T BOOK ALBURGUE RESERVATIONS AND CANCEL THEM THE DAY YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO STAY AT THE ALBURGUE. THAT IS KILLING THESE ALBURGUES FINANCIALLY AS THEY TURN AWAY PEOPLE DURING THE DAY AND END UP WITH EMPTY BEDS. SHOW RESPECT FOR THE WONDERFUL ALBURGUE OWNERS
THAT ARE KIND TO US. BE A TRUE PILGRIM AND HONOR THE RESERVATIONS YOU MAKE!

Host is a great welcoming character
Check in for hostel is now in hotel
Meals were in main hotel last year which was nice but not as lovely as in the hostel as in previous years pre Covid

Spacious gardens to hang out in and washing troughs and lines provided.

Basic bathrooms but clean
If you leave hostel early you can see the sunrise over the nearby canals which is stunning
