Very early checkout, cannot stay in the rooms between 9:30 and 13, cannot leave luggage before or after stay. Have to put on the bed linen yourself. Looks clean and all, but even compared a hostel, this is pretty bad.
Worst hostel experience after 13 days of doing Camino. The beds are extremely uncomfortable , all three of us had back pain. The room was cold and the heater didn’t work. The bathrooms are very uncomfortable to use, small and stuffy with doors that open inward- the showers turn off by themselves and you can’t regulate the water temperature. The room locks are loud. And it’s 20 minute walk from the center. Would avoid if possible.
Go here if you crave a take it or leave it mentality. I booked 2 nights. When I got back at the hostel after a visit in the center they assigned my bed to another pilgrim. Which was very uncomfortable for both of us. All my stuff was moved. The lady of the hostel dropped some bedlinnen on the top bed and said I could take that or feel free to book another hostel. By far the craziest and most unfriendly day on the Camino. So far everybody was great but in Santiago things changed very quickly.
There is a nice and clean kitchen, the rooms are spacious and clean and the beds are comfortable. The staff is super friendly. When we arrived there they welcomed us kindly and showed us our rooms. Later they told us that there was a room left which was pretty much empty (one other girl stayed there) and offered us to change the room. We only stayed there one night and when we noticed that we lost something in the hostel we called them and they patiently helped us out. They even sent us photos of what we were missing and later shipped it to the address we sent them:) Thank you so much!
Best nights sleep I had the whole trip. Silence in the room, clean lovely bunk bed that didn't shake or move. Plugs near the bed, little lights under each bed. Lockable big size cupboards for your backpacks right next to the bed. Curtains to separate your areas off. Great showers, a big glass cabinet full of creams, minor medicines, shampoos to use etc. Great staff too! Can't go wrong, worth the money.
