Camino de Sant…

I called and made a reservation and kept the owner updated as to my progress and eta. When I arrived the Albergue was full. 3 others were also turned away - with reservations.
The owner was also yelling loudly at a dog.

Camino de Sant…

When I arrived at 2 pm with a reservation, I was informed it was full and I would have to keep going (I had already walked 27 km). In the time I was there, he turned away 3 others with reservations. The owner was quite abrupt and unapologetic. I would not recommend this place.

We had called in the afternoon and when I rang to confirm before 4 pm he told me it was full. I had expressed that we were waking 9.5km with my 73 year old mother due to a problem in azufre. Not good business management. We were not the only ones left with no place to stay.

Camino de Sant…

The proprietor was so nice. He has completed three caminos and gives back. I was surprised to get a single room. There were five pilgrims. Polite signs about “leave the room as you would like to have it”. Can’t believe he does everything himself. Even real sheets and napkins! The dinner and breakfast were very good. His “Camino” art adorns the walls. Overall an outstanding night. Before I left in the morning he gave me a Camino Blessing.

We had a really good experience in this cozy albergue. It felt like home. The host is friendly and kind once you get to know him a little bit. He has a passion for the camino and its peligrinos. He made us homemade soup with vegetables and it was delicious and healthy. Loved to stay there.

The lentil soup was great. Music by Leonard cohen during dinner and some great conversation with PedroMaria the host. He is quite the artist. Very quiet place. I enjoyed it.

Room was decent (got a room with only 3 beds and a nice view), but the owner of the albergue was very rude. Called to reserve a space for 4 people and he turned away a member of our group after we confirmed the reservation. Also came into our room without knocking to tell us when to shower. Would not recommend staying in this town or albergue.

Do not recommend. The albergue is not the best nor the worst. But I really didn't like the owner. And be careful because if you dont buy the dinner (9€) you can't sleep there. He refuses to let someone exhausted in because he had only enough money for the bed. I dont like the energy.

Despite the info suggesting 7-10 € per ved he charge det 15. The owner is veeeeery rude. Shouting about me taking a rest on my own sheet in the bed, screaming about that I should take a shower. Then he yells about where I put my backpack etc etc. I decide to pack my things put my gear on again and leave. While trying to get my money back he charge me 5 €. For what I don’t know. Lots of yelling and I left. This man is rude, has no idea of the concepts of nice or service. Ended up in a private room in Casa Victoria instead as the Albergue was closed.

michael

Yeah, skip this place. Not enough lentil soup/stew for everyone and that’s all that was prepared. Leftover bread from dinner was served for breakfast.
