You must pay €28(Bed €15 + Dinner €13). Be sure that there is no choice of just getting the bed.

The place was clean and the shower and bed were good. I had the dinner, and it was nothing to brag about. The vegetable soup had plenty of broth but not many vegetables. Works perfect for a low calorie diet. The two small pieces of pork served were on the dry side - the thickness was not consistent and probably contributed to the poor result. The wine was red and super cheap. For a 13 euro meal it was not great. Probably should have picked up a 5 euro bottle of wine at Eroski and some bread and cheese.

The manager is a no-nonsense, one-woman army, but she runs a very nice place. The food is good, there's a lovely patio and my bed was comfortable.

Had a twin room. Nice place with a wonderful lawn area out back to enjoy a cocktail and socialize. Pretty inside. Booked for dinner later.

We stayed in a private room. Basic but with a private bath. The courtyard and bar were very convenient. They offer a pilgrim meal which was excellent. This place has so much character! Wise pilgrim app says there is a washer but it’s only hand wash.

After 26km walk, I have decided to stop there. I checked in and paid. As usual, I check the beds for any signs of bed bugs. It took me 3 minutes to find 3 bedbugs and eggs on the 2 different beds. I discreetly informed the manager of it as she may not be aware.

Her reaction was then to blame for 20 minutes the other hostels, without really telling me if she was aware. After that long 20 minutes speech, she was starting to make comments to make me feel stupid too. I understood she knew about the problems and was lying to me on the fact that they disinfected. She told me it was - and I believed they did a few weeks ago - but the reality is still that they have bed bugs and they don’t do anything about it.

As I am super allergic to it, I informed her I could not sleep in this room and she may have a safer option. Safer option offered by the owner was that she refunds me and find somewhere else …. Well that tells a lot. I ended up going to Leon that day - a good 37 km in total. I would be careful ! Check the beds if you want to be safe.

Had their outdoor aircon going, which was a godsend in the summer heat. Meal was nice, lots of space inside to chill out in. Only slight downer is there was only 2 showers for us all, so get there early in busy times or you’ll be queuing

I had a confirmed reservation for today for one bad.
When I have arrived the gate was closed.
When I called them they said that they are closed today.
They did not cancel my booking, they just dudn't let me in.
I had to walk additionally 5km to the next albergue.
SHAME!!!

Plenty of space. Single beds with blankets. Best eat there because there's no food in town.
