Functional albergue in the center of Santiago. Good price value. The amount of restrooms is not that much, but for most of the guests, it's just one overnight stay. The rooms are only accessible with a card, the beds are okay. Stayed in a four bed dormitory with two other pilgrims and it was a little bit warm. But I slept worse during the last 24 days on the Camino 😉
Within 500 metres of the Cathedral. Lovely ladies at reception. Services are basic, but does have a TV room. Linked to the Hotel next door. Breakfast is not served until 8.00am, so if you are catching an early bus or train it is too late. Highly recommend this albergue.
I just watched a fellow pilgrim get ripped out of her bed by the host of this hostel for accidentally taking the wrong bed. The pilgrim also appeared to be very sick and not feeling well. I do not feel safe or welcome in this place. Worst stay I’ve ever experienced. I hope the host realizes that is not how you treat another human being.
The staff did not seem to care very much about the upkeep. Previously, I had spent 5 nights paying 6 euros per night for clean, comfortable, well managed municipal albergues, and I expected to pay more for staying in Santiago centre, but I thought 18 Euros was quite expensive for the standard here. The place needs a good clean and a makeover.
Good location and keypad access. Adjacent hotel reception doubles for the Albergue reception. Small kitchen available. Large secure storage area which housed my bicycle
