Absolutely rude staff. I called to check availability and they hung up on me because I asked how large is the dorm. They hung up again when I called back. AVOID.
It has 2 wide floors with an enclosed zen fountain/garden near the entrance of the rooms. Natural light comes in so it uplifts the ambience of the rooms. There's background music too. It's quiet enough despite no floor to ceiling division except for the bathrooms. The bathrooms are nice with hooks to hang your toiletries. The water pressure and temperature are great. The bathroom can get quite steamy because of this. There are shelves and lockers to put your things. No trashbins near your beds. A stool, plug, and a shelf next to the bunk beds. The bed and pillow linings were thin but clean. The blankets were thick and warm. Overall the sleep was comfortable.
They calceled my reservation without any notice. Very rude and unpolite. I dont want to recommend this place any other camino family.
Very great place to stay en route to Camino. This place is first come first serve so make sure you're in the queue before noon. The owners of this place take very good care of the facility, making sure that there is no water on the ground, there is always paper towel in the washrooms, and making sure that everything stays clean. They have strict rules about noise after 10pm/11pm which is great if you want to get a good night's sleep. There's always massage music being played which added to the calm nature and ambiance of the hostel. I also really appreciated the rainfall showers, though the fact that they don't stay on the whole time is a little annoying. We paid 12€ for each bed.
I had an exchange with the host and he was extremely volatile and aggressive. I was staying in an Albergue close to this one. I visited my friend to share some watermelon in the kitchen and he came to me shouting at me in Spanish. This was in front of many other pilgrims and it was extremely embarrassing. I told him I couldn’t speak Spanish and he kept shouting at me. He directed me to leave and walked me out of the Albergue and continued to shout and abuse me as we walked out, all the while I remained calm and quietly left. He was aggressive and his anger was extreme. You can communicate your rules in a much kinder way. Avoid this albergue
