Camino de Sant… (not verified)

A nice welcome even though our host didn’t speak any English really. Pretty basic: Lots of beds packed in each room 11 in ours - 10 in bunks plus a single. Not many charging sockets and no Wi-Fi (for the first time since Lisbon). No sheets, even disposable ones, or towels. Showers are push button though they work quite well and are clean. Toilet I used had no seat, but toilet paper is provided. Fully equipped kitchen. It’s a donativo and I would say it’s worth €5-8 according to your pocket.

Check-in is between 2pm(14.00) and 10pm(22.00) You can not pre-book a bed but you are served as you arrive until the albergue is full.

Stayed there on a very cold night and was very warm. Beds are a bit short for a tall guy.

Hospitalero shows preference to some nationalities. Heard him make several racial slurs. I would not stay here again.

Our German hosts were so helpful. They greeted me with a cold glass of water when I walked in from a long walk.

António was a wonderful host and the other guests were delightful. There are a couple restaurants in town - one is a little walk up a hill.

The host was very nice, although he didn't speak English very well. Everything was clean. Nearby is a place where you can eat a pilgrim meal for a very fair price.
