3 / 5 Is quite far from the city centre, about 30-40 min walk. There is supposed to be bus stop nearby but I don’t find, also I am cheap basta*d so I walked. 15 euros per night and they have a loooot of beds. You can reserve in advance by phone but not needed I am sure. Huge showers and toilets. U have to pay even for the disposable one use sheets. For lockers and for everything they can, they will charge you, but you don’t have to take it so. They have code for the doors so you can come after 22 which was the only reason I stayed here under 20 euros. They claim they donate all the money to charity.
5 / 5 After having no luck finding anywhere to stay after finishing the Camino Portuguese, took a chance on here and it's spot on.
Lots of beds. Relatively comfortable for what it is. It's a bit far out of the city, especially for the tired pilgrim.
There is a big shopping centre near by to grab food and supplies which is handy
2 / 5 Super nice staff, nothing to say on this, loved them, very patient and helpful for everything.
In terms of comfort, after one week in a lot of albergue on the Camino and a week of wild camping before that (just so you know that I'm not a princess) the beds were the worst I experienced. During the night, the bed mattress stretches under you and you're basically in a little hole when you wake up, so not comfy at all, and they give you disposable covers for the mattress and the pillow that feels very cheap and brittle. Not that we should get silk sheets at all, but didn't feel good. It was fully booked when we were there so maybe that's why but also the showers were disgusting (hair everywhere) and the shower doors were broken and couldn't close.
5 / 5 where are the bad reviews coming from? the association running the albergue has its own social projects (a food bank) and although they could charge much more (compare the prices with other albergues), they charge a reasonable price and are not greedy at all with finances (you can negotiate if you are at need). the staff is really nice and they have a big kitchen and a great garden. they even let you leave the laggage on the way to the cathedral
5 / 5 Though this albergue is quite far from the city centre (but there is a bus station just in front of the building), it is very pleasant, you can relax outside on the yard, cook your own meal in the kitchen, and the staff is just the best!!! - very nice, willing to help you, always smiling.. I had a very good time in there. Thank you :)
