Typical large albergue which is okay with me.It looked like the beds had sheets and pillow cases. The host was selling disposable sheet and pillow cases for 5 euros.
In the morning, I saw him straightening up the pillows and sheets.
I was told by another albergue that the disposable sheets cost about 50 cents and are required. Another pilgrim saw the same.

Not a great Albergue, very very basic. Not worth the 15€. The owner is rude and scolded me for stepping on the grass. No soap anywhere, no paper towels to dry your hands, no sheets or blankets plug-ins are at the other end of the room much better places to go than what this place has to offer

Pas de repas le soir ni de petit déjeuner.

Contrary to previous comments, I did not find the host rude, but rather accommodating. Very neat and tidy alb, best shower on the Camino to date. Real sheets.

Americans on here are ridiculous with their bad reviews. I’ve stayed here twice. The owner reserves his smiles and
humor for people who are kind to him. I like him very much and he’s easy to win over. The place is small, cozy with fire, comfy and sturdy beds, VERY clean. Nobody cares if bathrooms are mixed!!! It’s a hostel for Pete’s sake. Lovely garden, areas to eat and plenty of hot water. He’s not a social guy and he has his own reasons for that. Be kind to the albergue owners — they put up with a lot of crap from visitors.

Stay somewhere else or keep walking.

Rudest Hospitalera you will ever meet.

Dorms are not pleasant - rows of beds. We had a smaller dorm with 6 bunks which was ok and clean but mixed showers and toilets in the same room are AWFUL - yuck!! Not even any handwash!! Owner woke us up by switching lights on and the message was clearly get up and GET OUT! Left my sticks, ran back but at 8.10 he’d locked up! I created lots of noise and he eventually came and gave them to me!

Sent WhatsApp to reserve a bed. They never responded. I sent my bag forward to them in hopes of
seeing getting a bed there. When I got there they were full and charged me 5€ to release my bag. I showed them the WhatsApp messages and told me that I have to call to reserve. The man was hostile and would not release my bag.

For 15 € you would expect sheets on the beds, but no. Otherwise beds are ok, nice sittning area with a fireplace, but nowhere to cook, just a microwave at a outside area.

There are a lot of comments about the abruptness of the owner. Yes, I can see how this may be the case, but our experience with him was very good. My advice is don't let these comments put you off, it is a very nice place to stay.
