Albergue de Peregrinos Camino Real

The negative vibes from reading reviews caused me concern but I really enjoyed my stay. The weather was very hot but unfortunately the pool was not ready. There was no kitchen but it was easy to grab a microwave meal and heat up. Or eat in the restaurant a few metres away. The showers were hot and the bathroom big. My bunk bed was very comfortable. There is only three places to stay and I think it met the brief for a bed for the night. 14 euros and I could pay with credit card.

A very different experience than the other reviews. The albergue looks neglected. The host was quite abrasive with me. There was no pilgrims meal or breakfast. This is not a place to feel relaxed or rested. Get some sleep and get out.

Host was really kind and was very accommodating after a rainy walk that day. Hair dryer, paper for shoes. €5 for washing machine AND dry. The heating was on, which is a rarity I find in many albergues; plus tons of blankets. It’s a pretty basic place sleeping wise but honestly being able to get warm and play some guitar was perfect!

I arrived here after a blistering rainstorm and 60kmh winds and they were so kind and helpful making sure I — and all the other drowned rats — could dry off and get warm. It isn’t fancy, but they are kind. And that matters.

Nathaniel has made a wonderful effort to provide all the extras that make a pilgrims stay comfortable. Little, simple things that many albergues don't offer - soap at the handbasin & laundry, lots of clothesline & pegs, games in the common room, a guitar, pool is very cool & more. Great Albergue

Nathaniel was very welcoming. Note it’s not the green door entrance of the Albergue next door. There were powerboats in the wall that allowed for easy access to charge devices. The pub around the corner had good meals. The showers and toilets were a bit small and cramped. The albergue was clean and felt comfortable.

In my opinion overrated albergue. Yes, it has pool which is nice. There are only few toilets and showers and bunks are cramped in one big room. The host is a little bit pushy. He all the time insisted that we have to visit the pool and “have fun” altough we just wanted to rest and sleep. He did this more than once and we felt disrespected.

We slept at Albergue Camino Real last night and one pilgrim has been bitten by bedbugs. Don't use the blankets on the beds is our advice.

What a surprise to stay here. Maybe it is not the “fanciest” alburgue but the host, Nathaniel did so much extra to help!
Real Camino spirit at this Alburgue.
Do support them!

The hospitalero was nice and helpful, and wanted to make sure everybody is having a nice experience. You can use a kettle, microwave and plates/cutlery even if the place doesn’t have a proper kitchen. There’s a nice backyard with a pool. Good value!

We had a great time. The host made us feel at home right from the beginning. He was very helpful and offerd help where he could. Nice common room. Big dorm though, three showers, but overall no problem. I would recommend this place without hesitation. If you like french fries buy potatoes beforehand, there are two airfriers in the kitchen.

The host of this albergue has thoughtfully provided so many facilities for pilgrims. I would totally stay here again!

Had a great stay and the laundry facilities are the cheapest on the Camino 5euros for washing and drying. The shower and toilet cubicles are very small but doable. The host is a great guy and will help you with anything including forward bookings. Speaks very good English and the restaurant staff are simply fantastic. Worth a stay.

The host makes you feel right at home from the start and will go above and beyond to assure you are feeling comfortable and safe! There are plenty of games and even a guitar if the pool is closed! He accommodates to your every need.
Great restaurants in the area and it’s the first Albergue you see on the way into town, the restaurant next door is nice just make sure you get there before they close for dinner!
He truly is one in a million.

What a wonderful host Nate is - friendly, informative and very helpful. Kindly assisted us on a couple of issues we were experiencing. Bathrooms clean on arrival, lovely outside area, nice clean pool, good laundry facilities for both hand and machine washing (3€). Lots of line space. Able to utilise cutlery, plates, glasses etc. Kettle and cold water available.
Had a great feed next door at the bar - nice range and well priced.
Overall stay very nice - a friendly host certainly makes a difference! Thanks Nate.

The pool is nice, the host is friendly, the garden is nice.

But 30 beds in a room? Not my favorite…

I found this albergue to be one of the cleanest I’ve stayed in so far. The owner keeps it up really nicely. The pool was lovely, also very clean and there is a large grassy garden which is a great place to relax. Really nice stay for the money.

Natanael has only owned this alburgue since March and has great plans for improvement over winter, but you cannot fault it for €10 per night. He’s a thoughtful host and can ‘hablas Ingles’ if you need it as he used to work as a chef in the UK.

The host was friendly, and had a useful sheet of information, in case you'd had a long day, and couldn't remember everything, like when breakfast was, or where the laundry was. Having to go down to the Hostel for dinner was a bit of a slog after a long day, but the food was good, and it was nice socialising with the other pilgrims staying there. The dorm room was clean, and while the bathroom needs an update, the host made it clear that was coming, and he'd only hag the place since March.
