We came fairly early and things went smoothly for us. We washed our clothes outside and used the drying racks. The room was pretty nice and so was the bathroom. I had a nice stay and would come again. Rooms were 18 euro for a bunk and 20 for a single bed in the dorms

We really enjoyed this hostel. The staff was awesome and extremely nice accommodations. They did our laundry for us and were very helpful

Room was good and clean with a great skylight.

Morning breakfast was simple toast, cereal and fruit salad accompanied by coffee, tea, and juice.

The ladies worked hard to get everyone served. It is a communal expedient breakfast which was great to meet people.

The best thing this place has going for it is their website. We did not have a good experience and I would not recommend it. Too many people are crammed in the rooms, too many people are crammed at breakfast tables. Lady who checked us in was curt. Ladies who served us breakfast were rude and skimping on food. As we put on our shoes, pilgrims coming out of the breakfast room summed it best: “Maltrato al peregrino”. It seems we were not the only ones who felt it. Look elsewhere.

We got in so late. Almost lost our reservation. Downhill rocky path was hard. Ladies were so helpful and kind with our family. Had the bunks and restroom ( 2 showers and one toilet) shared with 6 other people. Enough charging stations and bins to place belongings. Two options for dinner 1900 and 2030. We were blessed to make the last and the food was warm, filling, and delicious. Breakfast was on time and great. Toast butter coffee and juice. Very nice place overall.

We didn’t stay in this albergue but booked the pilgrims meal. They had 2 sittings: 19:00 and 20:30 which you must reserve in advance. The food and ambiance was excellent Highly recommended especially considering the lack of restaurants in the town.

Just a few mins off of the Camino trail and down the street from the pharmacy. Good beds, very clean, a nice lounge area and breakfast included.

This is a very good place. It is very organised and good atmosphere . A great experience and recommended from a tired pilgrim

Check in took almost an hour, but it was the only albergue with beds still available. Price includes breakfast.
I got the pilgrim dinner for €13 and it was delicious. Salad, soup, a rice dish, trout or pork, and a variety of desserts. ( the lemon mousse was amazing)

When checking in, because of COVID capacity limits not all top bunks were being used…understandable. However, they charge 2 euro more for a bottom bunk if the top isn’t being used. Not the end of the world but on principle doesn’t seem right. Everything else was great.
