Very kind hosts, very clean albergue, lovely sitting area with heat on cold night, a fantastic sunroom next to the bar on rainy days, and a sitting area outside for sunny days.

The beds are way too close to one another and some bunks are squeezed into one double bed so some people end up sleeping with strangers. No room for luggage. Toilets and showers insufficient. Moreover, the top bunk is so low that you can’t even sit on the lower one to do anything, like read or put on your socks. They were ‘out of blankets’ for all of the second dorm. The alarm system started blaring at 6 am and you wonder if it happens every day, just to get people out. Staff not very friendly and keeping the most cosy room for them and their friends. Staff friendly with locals (lots of them, noisy) at least.

Great albergue, the bedroom was super cool even if it was an hot day. Great meal at the restaurant. Lovely courtyard.

I did feel that this wasn't the best set up. A large room with plenty of beds, but only 2 showers, and 1 easily accessible toilet. The food was adequate, but not much selection, so thankfully there were other places for a second meal. The service was fine

Avoid this Albergue if you can. Anywhere else on the Camino this albergue would not survive. 34 beds,2 showers and 1 toilet. Beds so close together it's like sleeping with strangers. Owners are out to maximise profit from a captive audience.

The dorm was huge and overly crowded.
Bed banks were adjacent to one another, so I practically had to sleep with a snoring stranger with me in bed!
Lucky I hang my towel between us :/

Lovely albergue. I really liked the outside courtyard and sitting area and that you can cook your own food (even though the bar serves good food as well). The women running the place are lovely and helpful.

There are two large dorms with a lot of beds in each of them. A bit too cramped for my taste. So it’s not the most private place but the other things make up for it.

I was surprised at how rude the woman here was today- there seemed no good reason for it, it seemed like pilgrims were an irritation for her. I witnessed her being rude to several other pilgrims whilst I was checking here. Also, the restaurant and bar advertised on the sign outside were closed. This is my first encounter with this level of rudeness on the entire camino Francés. If I wasn’t so tired I’d go somewhere else!

We could write a hundred words but that wouldn’t be enough. A great stay and great people. A little oasis. We can only echo all of the previous good reviews. Sean and Tracy.

We stayed here in June 2022, and the ladies were absolutely lovely. A nice patio garden and bar with the Albergue attached. This Albergue had maybe one fly lazily buzzing around the room as opposed to the 10+ I’m now more used to. 10€ a bed and almost everyone had a bottom bunk, though some requested a top bunk. Nice cool stone floors in the room and a very clean bathroom. The bathroom is a bit small, but it’s not terrible. This was a much needed moment of peace on the Camino. Come by and say hello, and don’t miss the Vespers service at 7pm or the pilgrim Mass at 9pm down the road!
