Very pleased with our stay here. We had a great balcony view with our pension room. It was very clean, the decor and vibe was modern and fun, and it was a restful restorative sleep. Hot water with great water pressure for a good shower. Theresa welcomed us with a smile and she was so kind, she ensured we had a nice stay
New, fresh, comfortable. Has kitchen, washing facilities, outside garden area. Bathrooms are tiny and insufficient for the number of guests in the hostel.
I stayed in a private room. The hot water was consistent throughout my stay, which I really appreciated. However, the room could use better ventilation, as the floor felt sticky after taking a shower. Despite that, the staff were warm, friendly, and made me feel very welcome.
Absolutely the worst alburgue on the Camino. Brand new but no bedside plugs, no place to sit, and no place to hang things. After this great farce of 2020, you would think someone would think about ventilation. The air in the bunk room was thick enough to cut with a knife. You can't leave the door open because of the very bright hallway lights that are on a motion detector system and go on and off all the time. They have inadequate bathroom facilities, and these too are unventilated. Two showers and two toilets for all these men? I have stayed in a lot of alburgues, and many have their issues, but I expected much more from one that is relatively new. I guess it was built for the pseudo-pilgrims who think walking 100 km is some kind of accomplishment.
The bathroom for men is small, and despite the dining area being huge, there were insufficient kitchen accessories where we got to wait to cook our meal. The room is clean and neat. Overall, a good stay in PDR
