In the Buen Camino app this albergue does not exist. The Gronze app recommends to ask the albergue in low season whether it's open. So I wrote an e-mail and haven't got an answer since 1 week. I asked in whatsapp and didn't get an answer since 5 days. Even though it shows the 2 ticks in whatsapp for having received my message.
What you're looking for when you're on the Camino: affordable prices (€15) and friendly staff. In my case, we had 8 people per room, and it has a garden area, a laundry room, and a clothesline. The only thing I'd improve would be the kitchenette, which would have more than just a microwave and refrigerator.
Not recommended at all. It's impossible to rest on that mattress. They don't provide sheets, the shower is extremely uncomfortable, and there's no kitchen. It's better to sleep in a tent.
We are two pilgrims. We stayed here, but we didn't enjoy it at all, but being pilgrims, you adapt to what you find. Bathrooms outside the room, no blankets, just your own sleeping bag, yes, a disposable sheet, no way to heat a glass of water, nothing. Buen camino.
My room was very nice, although it's true that you can hear everything from the room below and the one next door. The food was very good, especially mine, which was gluten-free, and the instructors were very helpful at mealtimes. We were really lucky with the instructors we had, especially Edu, Nerea, and Jorge. And the activities were super fun.
