Albergue A Santiago

Long way out of town, no kitchen and nowhere for pilgrims to just hang out and meet people (some outdoor spaces but it was pouring rain). Wifi doesn't work in the rooms

At the gate, there's a big sign showing all the services with the price clearly shown as 12 euros.
I was exhausted, so I went in looking forward to stopping for the day.
The guy on reception took down my passport details and stamped my credential.
I handed over a 20 euro note and given six euros change.
I pointed out that the sign on the gate clearly stated 12 euros.
He handed me another 2 euros, which indicated to me that he was trying to rip me off.
If he does this a few times a day, he will be pocketing a lot of money...thieving...
Another guy showed me to my allotted bed in a very crowded room full of cheap looking bunks.
My bed was tight against the door, meaning everyone would have been passing, giving me little privacy.
I refused to stay and demanded a refund, which was given.
I walked another kilometre up to the parochial albergue where I had a great stay.

Very friendly staff. They have a cafe that serves food. In the middle of the night I woke up with bed bugs on my pillow. They were all over the wall. I was in the room with four single beds (not bunks beds). We left in the middle of the night to clean our belongings and sleep in a hotel.

The albergue is friendly and the staff is nice, just be careful of bed bugs.

What a welcoming sight, brightly coloured flags from different countries flapping in the sunshine. Greeted warmly at Reception and received a free orange juice (I must have looked exhausted). The whole Albergue was very clean, plenty of tables and chairs both in the restaurant and outside. Laundry facilities spot on. Very relaxing stay, highly recommend.

We were greeted by a gentleman by the name Angel. He greeted our party of 4 with a delicious glass of juice. He quickly checked us into our room and carried our luggage to our rooms. He was very helpful! From helping us with the washing machine and dryer to later serving us our dinner, Angel and his colleague Aimar have been the most helpful individuals we have met on our Camino. Just as we were giving up on the kindness of folks in some of the many we have gone through, God put these two individuals in our path❤️

If the weather was warm instead of cool and wet, I may have enjoyed this place more as it has some nice outdoor spaces.

However, I got the impression that they were in it to make money. The dinner was poor and it's a long way into town.

WiFi is very weak.

Don’t bother trying to contact this establishment using WhatsApp as they only use booking.com.

We had a dip in the pool. Got a glass of OJ when we arrived. Laundry facilities are good. Beds were nice . Dinner was very good. Was not very full when I stayed. I recommend this place

What an oasis! Free cold drink on arrival. Friendly staff, lovely rooms and great food. All that plus a swimming pool. €31 for bed, breakfast and 3 course meal, with a drink. Only downside for some maybe breakfast doesn't start until 7am.

This place is just as you come into the town, it’s great. Has all the things you will need that you do not even have to go into the town. Had great pilgrims dinner with good choice. The hosts were lovely - the waiters seemed a bit off- might have been a day. In the summer a great place to stop has an outdoor pool. The rooms are great with lots of room to move around. Bunks are nicely spaced. Only three of us in a six bed room. Showers were great, but not a lot of space to put your things so that they do not get wet. Walking out to get back on the route was easy but what you save in coming into this place at end of day you then add to your walk at the beginning of the day. Still worth staying here.

As we arrived and checked in, the young man at the bar brought us two glasses of orange juice as a welcome. After a good hiking day, it was magnificent.

The room was okay but felt damp which by the next morning showed signs of dampness on the windows.

We had dinner and breakfast at the restaurant. Dinner was okay and breakfast was a good value.

All and all, I would give this a 6/10 but was happy with our stay.

Blev budt velkommen med et glas frisk presset juice ved ind check og fik anvist vores værelse personligt. Fine bade forhold og gode senge,
3 retters Pilgrims menu med flere valgmuligheder præsenteret på flersproget menukort dog ikke dansk med en flaske vin til 2 pris 13 € pr person
Kan bestemt anbefales

For 15€ I stayed in a room with four single beds and the pilgrims menu for dinner, which was excellent, was 12. Best night's sleep in a long time!

After a long hot we came across this and stopped for a drink as it has a lovely with beautiful views, there was a swimming pool for the brave hearted.
We decided to book this place and treated ourselves to an en suite double room, cost 42€ lovely room with big shower.
The young lad on reception was very friendly and efficient carried my bag to my room, would highly recommend

Wonderful place. I shared a private room that was only 40EU. The staff are very friendly & helpful. They will WASH & dry all your laundry for 6EU. Lovely little town down the road with interesting tourist info center that has artifacts that go back to 400yrs BC. Good restaurants in town. Hotel has restaurant too & offers Peregrino meal for 11EU. Great Sangria!

Rooms are all off a long hallway and the noise echos. We stayed in a room with 4 beds. The mattresses need to be replaced. You can feel the springs. Facility is nice with lots of green areas

We stayed at albergue A Santiago and loved it. The pool is fantastic. The kitchen is not open right now because of COVID. The showers are hot but there is no place to set/hang your clean clothes while you shower. The town is very nice. The town square has lots of shade and benches. There are several restaurants and a nice supermarket. I would recommend a stay here.

After a long hot, dusty walk, this place is like an oasis, got a energy bar, & a glass of juice on arrival, rooms very clean, not clutered, the pool is an absolute delight. Very good showers, & laundry service, all for 8 euro, go on, treat yourself.

Right on the edge of town and has a restaurant, so many stop just for food on their journey. There's a pool and lawn thay would definitely be a social hotspot during a normal camino season. I stayed in Sept 2020 so things were much quieter and most amenities were not in service, but it was still a good place to stay for the night.
