We arrived early to find rooms were ready, and given the hour we decided to visit the nearby castle for the afternoon. We requested a taxi and sandwiches for the road, and finding significant delays at the taxi service and some issue with the kitchen, the young man at the desk not only got us delicious pilgrim lunches but drove us to the castle himself. (And coordinated a ride back.) We found the breakfast was very good as well. Yes, the rooms are smallish, but no AC wasn’t a problem at all in Oct and the beds slept well and shower was nice. We have encountered excellent service during our trip so far but this was above and beyond. Thank you!
Comfy rooms, although a bit small, but there was hot water for my shower and minimal noise. The restaurant is fabulous for pilgrims as it is in the hotel and serves good food at reasonable prices. The staff were fantastic!!!
No AC. Basic room with one outlet available for charging devices. Have to unplug TV to plug in a charger. Asked front desk staff to call a restaurant to confirm that they were open. The staff refused “if Google says it is open, it will be open.” Well, it was closed as the staff were on holiday. Wish they would have called for us to find that out before we walked in the rain. Tiny tub with little packets of shower gel.
Pretty basic hotel. The room we had was tiny! Just enough room for two people and barely enough room for our luggage while we walked on the Camino. The bathroom offered only two little packages of body wash gel for two people - barely enough for one person. Given that we were only there for one night and for a short time, it suited our needs, but was probably my least favorite stay in the 6 days we walked. The breakfast that was included was pretty nice, but didn't start until 8am which makes it hard to get on the Camino at an early time if you also want to eat.
Very noisy, small spartan rooms with no AC. Front desk unhelpful in finding an open restaurant for exhausted Camino pilgrims. Walls very thin, loud, only one outlet in room. Soap and shampoo in sample sachets and not sufficient for a shower. Hot water variable.
