Casa Matías

I stayed at Casa Matías for my first night in Sarria, starting the camino from here. The room was OK, but quite dated. The bathroom was very clean. Unfortunately, the rollerblinds did not work, which meant the room stayed somewhat bright throughout the night. The walls are pretty thin and fellow guests were playing music until 11pm or so. The host were efficient and friendly. You check in at the photography store next door.

Very basic accommodation. But Internet is non-existence. If you want to have good wifi for your travel information, this is not the place. The lighting in the room is very dim and only the ceiling light is working. Shower is great! The place is clean. No reception area nor staffs at the site. But you can reach someone by phone and they speak good English. It’s very close to the train station but farther from the trail. However, if you do bags transfer and started with Sarria, it makes sense to stay here so you don’t carry your bag all the way down the road. The town is small and is close to everything. This place is quiet.

Good accommodation, got 1 solo room, clean, strong wifi, clean common toilet and shower, and located close to laundry shop and supermarket! Has store at ground level sells many stuff.

Sleeping bugs bites at middle of the night. Smelly room. and bathroom. Very basic. Only the location is good.

The room is big, however, it’s freezing cold and owner only turn on the tiny heater until 7pm. The efficiency of the heater is far insufficient to provide enough power to make the room warm. We have to wear our heavy snow jacket and wool socks to sleep but still cold. No drinking hot water. The attitude of the owner is snobbish and arrogant. Will not recommend people to stay here.
