To be honest, the living environment isn't bad. But the landlord is rather peculiar—I get the feeling he's a bit discriminatory towards Asians. Plus, there are numerous rules about where you can live. You can't eat in the hostel, or use the kitchen. The price is also steep at 22 euros. There are better options nearby.
Great spot to spend your nights in Los Arcos from the Camino. The friendly host, Vicente, is an experienced pilgrim, who will help you with your stay and can help you with your Camino!
It is the best albergue em Los Arcos. Great paella and vibe.
€22 a night. There were four of us, including a young pilgrim. We needed to make a sandwich for the young man in the kitchen at 9:45 PM. This good fellow, Vicente, kicked us out for making the sandwich, claiming in a semi-irritated dialect mixing Italian and Spanish that he'd never seen anything like it. He even went so far as to call the Guardia Civil, who, of course, didn't bother to show up. So, our dear host called one of his friends to kick us out. We took the initiative and left while he was announcing he was going to use some advanced techniques to force us out. We then spotted a car outside with the driver revving his engine. We took the young pilgrim to safety in another hostel in Los Arcos with its manager, and the two of us left at 10:15 PM for Logroño, which we reached at 7:15 AM. The final tally: 54 kilometers covered in 16 hours, 29 of them at night, without a single sleep in between. All hail the pilgrims on their journey hoping to reach Santiago. You are welcome to stop at his place, but at your own risk.
I called ahead and arrived alone. No one else was there, and he waited for me. He was also very flexible, letting me have dinner out and rest. I had a really good, restorative experience.
