Albergue de Peregrinos de S. Pedro de Rubiães

One of the very good albergues along the Portuguese Camino. They actually let you heat the room, which is incredibly rare in Portugal. And trust me, in March, you want that! The kitchen is small, but the yard is great and the washing facilities are good. There's actually a dryer here (a rare occurrence in public albergues - 4€). The café bar just accross the street is great (also has a market at the back).

It was a lovely stay, bedrooms were clean - beds a bit too close to each other (quite packed room) The outdoor area is amazing, new and spacious, there is a small bar next door offering also a tiny grocery section (we bought some nice vegan chorizo and veggies there) you can sit outside and enjoy the lovely view there. There are just a few Bathrooms (2toilet and 3 showers) and they get very steamy and wet as there isn’t enough air circulation Kitchen small but decently equipped. We paid €8

Unfortunately this was my least favorite stay on the Camino. Bathrooms were very dirty and poorly maintained. No soap for hand washing. Dorm room also dirty, very crowded and stuffy, beds not comfortable. Our bed was right by the door with an automatic light that wakes you every time the door opens. But only 8€ so at least good price. Also has nice yard and good cafe across the street

Only 2 showers and 2 toilets for multiple women arriving and leaving at the same hours. No soap. The lady was nice and provided blankets where needed. Disposable bed sheets were available. Well equipped kitchen and nice patio. Laundry facilities, great for sunny days.

During off season camino, there is no staff here, so it's donation-based and self service. During my stay, the electricity somehow turned off on midnight which is very unfortunate. Despite that, hot water and heater are provided here :)
