The place is run down and smelly. The rooms are cramped and have a nasty smell. You have to share a bathroom between eight pilgrims. The staff are also unwelcoming and were quite rude to pilgrims!

The hostel rooms are fine, definitely prepare with low expectations, but it does the job. The staff in our experience were unwelcoming. Two of us paid for beds and two pilgrim meals (€60 total). After the meal we went for a walk in the town and picked up a snack in the shop. When we returned, we sat with our roomates who had just finished their meal in the sitting area of the hostel. We were very loudly shouted at and told we couldn't eat anything not purchased in the hostel there. It was torrential rain outdoors and we were told we had to eat outside and it was the "bosses rules". Strange rule, but I found the way it was communicated to be extremely rude and embarrassing, especially as we had spent a lot of money in the hostel already. There is no common area for guests other than the restaurant or very dimly lit rooms so it feels uncomfortable to be in. I would advise others to spend their money at some of the other nice hostels and restaurants in the town.
The good ratings made us reserve two beds in the albergue, but we quickly decided to leave the place after our arrival. The ratings must reflect the individual rooms, because the dormitory was simply cold, small, and badly lit - like a jail cell, basically. Cannot recommend... especially for 15 euro a night.
Pilgrims room are dirty and not well equipped. Without window and cheap blankets for 1-time use. Not really sustainable. Check in u have to do by yourself on an weird app. Waitress let us wait. They had just one shower and the shower itself was not working well. All in all. The price is much too high for what you get
Very clean, treated myself to a private room, very helpful staff who made me up exactly the dish I wanted off menu, and Mabel in the bar is a wee honey. Loved it.
