€14 for a bunk bed — reasonably priced. I found the place to be fairly clean, with a charming little garden. Positive aspects: Proper bed linens are provided — not disposable ones — which is especially appreciated when walking the Camino. Additionally, the bed was already made upon arrival. There was no issue with hot water, which was very welcome after a long day of walking. Negative aspects: The laundry service is quite overpriced: €5 for washing and an additional €4 for drying. It feels somewhat excessive. Wi-Fi signal was weak throughout most of the property. The owner came across as slightly odd — it felt as though he was watching guests, for reasons that weren’t entirely clear. This made it a bit harder to fully relax. Overall, while it wasn’t a terrible experience — I’ve certainly encountered worse on the Camino — I would still hesitate to recommend this place as a truly worthwhile option.
BED BUGS! BED BUGS! When we told them we saw bugs they immediately blamed us and promptly told us that they just had a fumigation and we were the first to be in there establishment so it was 100 percent our fault. When the hostilero spoke with us he said he saw me scratching myself so again it had to be me. I was wearing shorts and a tank top and it was obvious that I had no bites. He refused to refund our money so we left scared of being contaminated. STAY AWAY. We went to Casa de Carmen and they graciously accepted us and lended us plates to make our sandwiches.
My friend and I slept one night (the 30th of May) here during the Camino. We both woke up with an immense amount of bed bugs bites. Tried to call and tell the albergue some days later, but they either couldn’t or wouldn’t understand my English. Would definitely not recommend👎
BED BUGS!!! Found bed bugs in multiple beds. When the hosts were told, they insisted we brought them in, saying it was impossible that they were already there. They were very rude about the whole thing and even aggressively pulled on of my companion's shirt down, insisting that dots on her back were bites. We left immediately without a refund.
Nice albergue on the Camino route (stayed here August 29th 2022). Owner Antonio, very friendly and attentive. Bunk beds were spaced out, so lots of space. Has nice kitchen (including stove for cooking), 2 bathroom/toilets and hammock outside, plus lovely garden area. Recommend staying here.
