Friendly staff and great facilities (shower, laundry, toilets). What let it down was the size of the dorm room (130 beds), very loud at night time. If the room was divided into smaller dorms then it would significantly improve the hostel.
Good albergue para peregrinos, pleasant decoration, clean room and bathrooms. There is a huge toom with 130 beds 🔝 Nice staff and value for money, only 15 euro / bed. Exquisite views, comfortable beds. Great service. Albergue receptionist/host was lovely and happy to answer all our questions regarding the Camino. Camino de Santiago ❤️ ( 27 day - 30 apr - 1 mai ) Visited in April 2025
There is just way too many beds. 130 beds in one single room, only separated by curtains. I had to ask the lady at the reception to please open the windows (they are too high, you can’t open yourself. I have a bed downstairs, I am 160cm, but can not sit up on my bed without hitting my head in the upper bed. They are squeezing just too many people into one room. 130 beds, 4 toilets and 4 showers in he woman’s bathroom. The lady at the reception is nice, also speaks some English. The place is as clean as it can be with the amount of people. No sockets at the beds, you have to charge on the hallway/ kitchen. There is no space for any kind of storage next to bed, not even to put phones. Just too many people, at a small place, I wouldn’t stay again.
Ah, what a lovely hotel! If you are on the Camino and tired of dormitory rooms, then treat yourself to some privacy. The location is great - it is right on the Camino and sits high above the reservoir. My room even had a terrace. The rooms are spacious and clean. The bathroom was modern and very clean. There is breakfast available. For dinner we went to a great restaurant just 3 doors down. The reception was helpful and friendly. All in all, a great experience.
There’s no rooms, just one big area full of bunk beds. They have a strict lights out policy at 22:30, but you will still hear people talking until later in the night. The problem with being an unique big room, is that snores gets one on top of the other and personally it was an actual nightmare trying to sleep. At the same time, people should be in silence until 7 am bu at 5:30 am you will be fully up because of everyone talking around you.
