Camino de Sant… (not verified)

Rooms of 4-6 beds, top bunks a bit high. Nice common space and very friendly hosts. Only one female and one male bathroom do or 13 people but we managed- 2 unisex would have been better.

Camino de Sant… (not verified)

We were provided a really good pilgrim meal. Unfortunately, the main Camino bypasses this section of town so it's hard to get to if you walk all the way around the city. The bunk beds are huge and easy to sit up if you're on the bottom. Staff is really friendly!

Lovely place with lovely people. They also serve great food and are very close to the start of this camino and to the Frances. The centre of town is only a 10 min stroll away. Beds are provided with clean sheets and pillow cases. Also the is a dryer here for those wet days.

So friendly, warm and welcoming. The bunks are really comfy and everywhere looks fresh airy and clean. Bunks are with fresh cotton sheets so super comfy. We had the best lentil soup on the whole Camino and delicious quiche. Food was excellent and served in a nice dining room. The only negative is its slightly out of the old city but only a 10 minute walk and actually closer to Camino for the mornings, walking. I'd say it's a 9/10.

I have stayed at this albergue three times and am always happy with my stay. The wonderful team of hospitaleros, led by Hope, will make you feel like family the moment you arrive. Do not miss the wonderful evening meal - vegetarian and vegan options available.

I received a warm welcome upon arrival. I used their laundry service which was quick and efficient. I had the pilgrim dinner and chose vegetarian although I usually choose meat. It was very delicious and much needed after some long days without a good meal. I was lucky enough to have my own room and slept a full 8 hours. I had great conversations with the owners and really felt at home. A very nice surprise on my Camino.
