Albergue Parroquial Karl Leisner

Don't be fooled by the exterior of this Albergue. The minute I walked in, I felt at peace. The garden was serene and had so many bird sounds. The bed I slept on was so comfortable, I probably had the best night's sleep since I started the Camino. Shower was ice cold but learnt later that there is a way to get hot water- make sure to ask. The 2 ladies who welcomed me at reception were kind, genuine and sweet. This was a recommendation from a previous Donativo.

Excellent albergue in Hospital De Órbigo, with very good accommodations and kind people. They have a very nice internal garden and one as the possibility of using their kitchen to cook something.

Accomodation is a beautiful space and really cozy but has turned into a shameless moneygrab. It's not much money but it feels really sneaky, cheap, and unwelcoming. 8 euros advertised price. Required 1 additional euro for disposable sheets mandatory even if you have your own. And incredibly, 1 euro to turn the electricity on for the stove!!! Which I have never seen before in 9 years of traveling the world. And with 92 beds advertised in 10 rooms, all pilgrims were squeezed in together. The only 8 people checked in at 5pm were all in one 8 person room. We asked if we could use two beds in one of the other 9 rooms instead of having two top bunks in a crowded one and were told no because they would have to clean it the next day. When another guy checked in and they were required to open a second room, we asked if we could move to that one and were told no. We already occupy two beds. If we want to occupy two other beds we will need to pay full price again. We had not unpacked our bags and had to confirm three times that we had not touched the beds and made them unclean before she relented. Really unwelcoming and cheap behavior.

This has to be one of the best municipal or parochial pilgrim hostels on this route. Welcoming and friendly. Good small light dorm rooms. Even during Covid you can use the refrigerator. Lovely garden. Sunny spot for your washing to dry. Area for cycles. In the heart of the village and right on the Camino

Lovely albergue. Like a home away from home in a magical forest. Lovely common areas, friendly people and staff. old wooden beams. By the way the town has a Robin Hood size forest which is a hidden gem and leads you into green fields and into the sunset... try to find it.
