Absolutely gorgeous building. Cosy even in November. Bathrooms spotless. However, absolutely no cooking utensils. Fridge and microwave that's it. Fine in summer, when you might want to head out to dine, not cool in November when it's dark, cold and wet and you want to eat in. The NO ALCOHOL policy sucks. Supermarket close by and on the route for Camino.
Beautiful and warm during winter. Not sure if I had it with me from 5 nights ago. But I got bitten by chinches here last night after not having been bitten in many days. I did reorganize my bag and put things in the bed. But can never be sure if it was from here or from somewhere else. 3 in my neck and 3 in my cheek
It’s an old building that has been renovated, very clean and in great condition. The bathroom is too small for the number of people staying here, and the hostel can fill up quite quickly, so try to arrive as soon as they open! There aren’t many facilities in the kitchen for cooking, but there are plenty of restaurants nearby.
A really cool public albergue inside and out. I got there very early based on the reviews (and because I came from Vigo and didn't have too long of a walk) and I was the 3rd in line at 11 a.m., so not as busy as some have reported. The bunks are a bit of an issue, I'm convinced the lights + USB chargers are just for decoration and aren't plugged in at all. I also wish the beds were anchored down a bit more, I'm not the smallest person in the world but when I climbed to the top bunk they were physically tipping over, felt kind of scary!
It’s the most beautiful public hostel we stayed at during the Camino. The building and facilities are modern, and the temperature at night was manageable but quite warm. However, there are not enough power outlets and limited space to dry clothing. This could easily be improved by adding a cheap foldable rack on the balcony and using outlet extenders with multiple inputs. The USB-ports in the lamp for the bed also doesn’t work for most beds. Make sure to arrive on time (at least an hour before in peak season), as there’s a very limited number of beds. Overall, a great place with small, fixable inconveniences.
