Nice, clean, warm and cozy Albergue. The rooms were clean and warm, with real bedsheets procided( not the disposable one). Showers are not enough during winter. There is a massage chair in the communal area which cost 5 euros and are appreciated by many pilgrims. Best part was the home cooked dinner which was nutritious and tasty. Price/ night for shared rooms is 12 euros. Dinner 14 euros and breakfast 6 euros
I has a good stay. Facility clean enough. Bunk rooms as nice as any. Enjoyed my afternoon lounging in the hammock. It's a family run place and it is true they tell you they aren't up to open the door until 7 but somehow the door was open by 6:30 the day I was there. Dinner was honest home cooking in generous portions and they also offer a lunch service if you're there earlier although they don't open for the day until after 1. Would stay again.
Overall, it's dirty and poorly maintained. It's the worst of all the Caminos, and 12 euros feels expensive for what it is. The mattress, which looked 30-40 years old, gave me back pain after sleeping on it. The mattress cover was dirty and stained, and the fabric was so old it was almost torn. When paying with a credit card, check the price carefully. She pretended to add to the bill as a mistake. Since it wasn't just me, I figured it wasn't a mistake. Just don’t go there!!!
Very shabby and dirty. Nothing worked and everything was broken. Do yourself a favour and stay at the place next door.
From the moment we stepped into the albergue, Patricia the hostess, has been nothing but accommodating and made us feel immediately at ease. The albergue and the rooms are very cozy and homey feeling and the ideal to rest after a long day spent walking. It’s a few small rooms with not too many beds, so it doesn’t get too cramped in a room. Also the dinner was really good and Patricia even went out of her way to cook something different for me, because of how limited I am with food. Can only recommend this place to my fellow pilgrims. Thanks you for the wonderful stay Patricia!
