Poor facilities and low standard: thre was no hot water in showers, shower was broken and tap did not work, shower curtain was stained and wet, no door in shower cubicles and a man came in the ladies shower room while I was in the shower. The toilet floor was wet as they are next to the shower cubicles. There was nowhere for hanging wet clothes or laundry. Food was way overpriced for what it was - only paella was available for dinner menu. it was so salty and not tasting like the paella that you would normally have, the calamari ring tasted like soft rubber with a weird after taste like sqeegy clay! The bunkbed was basic. The pillow was stained. There was no hooks for hanging clothes, the locker were mostly without lock or somewhere you can put a padlock. Some of the lockers door were broken and could not be closed...
Very poor standard as a whole and will not recommend!

I totally agreed with the commented dated 18th May 2024. The location is good for those pilgrims to walk some extra distance from Padron after the boat ride in the morning, so only around 19km to walk to Santiago. Even though it is right besides the train railway, the train frequency is few, about twice per hour, so bearable.
The amenities are very basic, and you have to do your bed sheet and pillow case. Water in the bathroom is just warm for me, but my wife told me that she only got cold water which was very disappointing.
As there is no restaurant nearby, pilgrims had to rely on the quality if food provided by the restaurant attached. I will taste the paella later today, keep my fingers crossed.

The place has amazing potential to be a top albergue with the layout, but the staff were very erratic, ok and fun one minute then almost like they wished you wasn't there the next! The pilgrim menu was awful ,I have never had plain white rice with ketchup any where! Lol

Maybe based on last few comments we were expecting too much? We had a compact cabin and it cost us 80euro for 3 people. Had a very compact bathroom with a shower screen as the partition. Did have heating....it had been raining for a number of days and the room smelt and was damp.
The 2 staff were very helpful and welcoming. The dryer went into error mode but they worked quickly to get it fixed as we had lots of dripping clothes.
The meal of paella and vegetarian lasagne, desserts and wine were very tasty. A bit pricey though. 50euro for 3 people.

I think unexpectedly deff one of the best places I have stayed on any Camino! The people are so nice! There is a cute pool in a garden (37C now so super welcome). Restaurant in and outside with cute lights. Inside with big long tables. Since not much around everyone has dinner at the same time. But also enough space if u need alone-time.
Pilgrim menu just 9€! They use organic food.
15€ for a (strong) bunkbed place with little walls in between to create more privacy. Separate woman and male toilets and showers.
And 18km to go to Santiago..

My kid and I LOVE it here :-)))

We stayed here for 2 days before our last stage to Santiago, the people couldn't have been kinder and more chilled out! The mini pool was delightful to chill out in and the food is amazing! We (2 people) shared the paella and the pilgrim menu which was a tomato salad with fresh bread, beef cheek and buttered rice. It was utterly delicious, the two ladies who work here, one English and one Spanish are so kind and funny, the English lady is a hell of a cook! The the Spanish is so busy but so attentive. 11/10

the owner and his staff were very rude. at 9pm they already closed the lounge and kicked us out, no other possibility to stay when there is rain outside. in the bedroom for 11 people there is only one toilet with a shower. if someone takes a shower, everyone else can't even go to the toilet. the room is freezing cold and there is no way to dry the wet stuff. We never will stop here again. that's not how you treat guests

Camino de Sant…

Just FYI, albergue is at a different location to one on map. Follow the signs on the Camino or Google it and you'll be fine. Also a few more beds than listed, very clean and good value for money (free breakfast and towel!)

Camino de Sant…

By far the worst place in my Camino. It's quite comfortable but the owner doesn't have any respect for pilgrims. The restaurant is way too expensive for the quality, food takes forever to arrive, cubicle in the bathrooms do not lock and worst: they made a party with loud music for some local people that finished at 3AM, and the DJ was all the time passing by the dormitory (!!!). Everything looks weird on this place, I wouldn't recommend it.

Camino de Sant…

Bed bugs and overpriced bad food. They don’t seem to care about pilgrims.
