Nice place, odd showers

Lovely place - good kitchen, great bunks, everything clean. In the woman’s showers there are two shower cubicles but the divider between them is just a frosted glass type thing which I found a little unusual. The actual shower though was great!
Unfortunately also zero airflow on a hot day - could do with a ceiling fan in the rooms!

10/10

What a great stay. The hosts were wonderful, very attentive and incredibly helpful. They are here for the pilgrims. The bunks were SO comfortable - I had the best sleep. A light, plug and a little shelf with each bunk as well as real sheets, a nice blanket and a towel. You typically have to book in advance to secure a bed but I lucked out - there was a cancellation when I arrived when it opened. I would 100% stay here again.

Lovely, modern

Lovely, modern and well cared for albergue. You can book a single bed (no longer need to book entire room). It's €20 if you book direct which includes breakfast (usually an additional €4-5 at other albergues). Fully equipped kitchen, sunny courtyard, great hosts.

Reservations Required

After reading the great comments I was excited to stay here. I called the day before to confirm that they were open since April is the beginning of the season for many albergues. On arriving to the city the next day, I went to their address Rue Principal, n°21 but there was no hostel there. I called to ask for directions but was told I didn’t have a reservation and reservations are required to stay here. Luckily I found a bed elsewhere. If you’d like to stay here though, I’d recommend a reservation!

Small albergue that kept the antique brick walls but has updated the utilities and beds. Extremely clean with real sheets and towels and great showers. The self-serve breakfast was also great. Recommend!!

Great albergue. Spacious and clean. A nice touch was to be given a “real “ towel. Made such a nice change from microfibre. Highly recommended
